Where Talent Meets Technology  
 
 

Rates

As a professional musician, you wouldn’t think of playing on a cheap instrument. And you certainly wouldn’t record on one! That’s because you know the value of using quality equipment to create the best sound.

The same is true in mastering. Your CDs or DVDs can only be as good as the master. Ensure that your master achieves the same level of excellence as your own musical talents. You’ve come this far; don’t skimp on quality now!

Quality Takes Time

Providing the finest high fidelity sound when mastering an 80-minute stereo CD, can require 6 to 8 hours. It can take longer for a 5.1-surround on DVD or restoration project. Each nuance of every sound must be listened to and analyzed critically. This allows us to make the fine adjustments necessary to create superior, overall sound excellence. To achieve the best transfer of your music to a master CD or DVD, we record the master in real time (1X speed). Unlike other mastering facilities, we don’t employ a speed-up process to shorten the time it takes to master. This would result in an inferior product.

Time Well Spent

We’re meticulous with your music, and yet we offer an affordable rate of only $65 per hour. Your total cost will, of course, depend on the complexity of your project. Expert mastering offers a hidden value, as well: Our experience allows us to create your master efficiently. Unlike less-qualified mastering services, we master your recording without the necessity of trial-and-error adjustments. We don’t waste time making a series of time-consuming, arbitrary changes until the sound improves. Our time is spent actually improving your work. The result: superior quality in less time.
