Mastering Rates: 1 track: £60 2 tracks: £100 3 tracks: £140 4 tracks: £180 5 tracks: £220 6 tracks: £260 7 tracks: £295 8 tracks: £330 9 tracks: £365 10 tracks: £395 11+: extra £25 per track Additional Master of the same song (instrumental, single edit etc): £10 per song. This assumes a basically identical mix mastered at the
same time as the main mix. Additional Master of the same song (at a later date): £20 per song. Additional Mastered for iTunes (MFiT) master: £5 per song. This is a process for optimising the sound of the masters for iTunes, according to Apple’s guidelines. Please contact me for more info. Additional vinyl pre-master: £5 per song. If you are releasing your record on both CD/digital and
vinyl then a separate vinyl master is recommended. The way
that volume is achieved on a vinyl record is completely
different to a CD, and the limiting that is used to bring
up the level of a digital master often only serves to
soften the peaks of a vinyl record and damage its clarity
and punch. A separate vinyl master will also typically be
sent at a slightly higher resolution than the digital/CD
master. Additional formats (mp3, 24bit wav, FLAC etc): £2 per song I can also embed your artwork in any formats that support this for no extra cost. Submission to Gracenote: £25 per record This ensures that your CD information/song titles show up correctly when the CD is placed in a computer. You can do this yourself pretty easily from iTunes but I can handle it, if you prefer, for a small charge.. Revisions: Unlimited revisions of the same mix are free, within reason. Revisions that involve the client submitting a new mix will be charged at the “additional mix” rate of £20 per track. If the mix is deemed to be sufficiently different that the previously used settings will not work, the new master will be charged as a new, separate job. Media: DDPi master - £25. A DDPi is a digital image that a replication/duplication
plant can use to manufacture an audio CD. It’s by far the
best and most foolproof method of sending your master to
the CD replication/duplication plant. CDR master - £40. Includes one master CDR, fully error checked and burned on Taiyo Yuden media, one reference CDR, plus 1st class royal mail shipping if required. Extra CDR reference copies - £5 each.
