Mastering Costs

Mastering costs depend on a few variables:

» The number of songs in your project
» Your recording's total playing time
» Whether or not you need a final disc delivered outside the United States

As a rule of thumb, we charge $99 for one-off songs and $75/song for projects with 2 or more songs. International and priority shipping costs are extra. Full album discounts are available.

A Word on Pricing

When you see mastering facilities online with very inexpensive prices, check to see if you're making an accurate comparison to professional mastering:

» Have they done work for "name" clients?

» Do they have the industry standard analog equipment?

» Have they been published in industry magazines?

» Are they part of professional industry groups, like the Audio Engineering Society?
