Mastering Rates

If you’re an indie or DIY artist, talk to me. I do flat album rates at a reasonable price that can fit your budget, and I’m open to negotiate. I get that budgets are tight, and I’d rather work with you and your music than not. Indie artists are my favorite to work with and are who makes this industry stay fresh and alive. I want to support that however I can. Let’s make you sound as good or better than any mainstream artist. You deserve it.

Every master here is done by hand by a real person who’s been doing this 15 years, not an algorithm guessing at your song. No AI, no plugin presets. Seriously good analog gear and digital tools that take your sound to the next level, and care from an experienced professional who wants you to succeed and shake the industry up. Let’s do this.

Return clients get 10% off standard per-track rates, always and forever. Album and EP projects are quoted at a flat rate that already reflects your loyalty.

Standard Mastering Fee $100 per track
Stem Mastering For more control and cohesion across your stems. This isn’t a full mix, but I can do hands-on mix work too, just ask. $150 per track
Album / EP rate Full records priced as a project, not per track. Skits, interludes and short bits aren’t charged like full songs. Reach out and we’ll figure out a number that works. Contact for rate
Alternate Version Vinyl, cassette, instrumental, radio/clean, or other versions of the same song. Vinyl and cassette are mastered with the right settings for the medium and supplied in A/B/C/D sides with cue sheets. $30 each
Master Revision Tone or level tweaks to your master (V2, V3, etc.) using the same mix. If the mix itself changes, see Recall below. Free until you’re 100% happy
Short Interlude or Skit in between songs $30
DDP Image with CD Text/ISRC Codes/DDP Media Player to validate on client side $60
Urgent Turnaround (24 / 48 / 72 hr) Covers moving other sessions around or staying late, and keeps it fair to clients booked out weeks ahead. Contact for rate
