Pricing
You can find up-to-date pricing for all deliverables here. Mastering is priced on a per track basis with additional formats charged at an added rate (additional formats include: DDP for CD, vinyl/cassette-ready masters, Apple Digital Masters etc.). Everything needed for a digital / streaming release is included in the base 'per track' rate. Revisions are always made at no extra cost.
There is a small fee for submitting revised mixes that require us to start the mastering again from scratch and for additional versions such as instrumentals & radio / clean edits etc.
