THREE main factors are used to determine the project rate.
- The Scenario: Does a specific day and time need to be booked?
- The Timeline: When do you need the final master in hand?
- The Specifics: Is the project an Album, EP, single, Vinyl, Online Release Only? Are there extra versions or instrumentals, etc?
Scheduled vs. Unscheduled
- Scheduled:
- This rate is used when a specific date and time are reserved in order to meet a deadline and/or for predictability.
- Reference WAVs, or a CD reference will go out the same day, or be handed over if you are attending.
- Unscheduled:
- These sessions are worked on at the pace of the mastering engineer during studio downtime (i.e. a postponed session or on a lighter day)
- There is typically a turnaround window applied during which the project will be completed. Turnaround times are generally 1 week for singles and EPs, 1-3 weeks for albums.
- All mastering and production are completed by our Chief Mastering Engineer, ensuring the highest level of quality control.
