Rates
We work on an hourly basis. For € 70,- per hour (ecxl. vat), you'll have all equipment at your disposal and of cause we add a safety copy to every master. Extra copies will cost € 2,50 up to 20 minutes and € 5,- above that playingtime.

The Session
A session takes about 4 to 8hours, depending on complexity and expectations. Take into account that verification of the master will take another realtime run.
We advise to have a listening version sent to you for examining the result at home. That will save you 1 hour after a day of intensive listening and allows both to check everything with fresh ears. After evaluation and approval we produce the definite master.

Online-Mastering / e-Mastering
These are
unattended jobs, handled over the internet. Ideal for single tracks and long distance projects. Fixed prices available on request.

Planning
Mastering is the final stage of the artistic process, prior to the pressing of a cd. Reserve ample time for 'difficult mixes' and repair jobs. Allow for an extra day to examine the result at home with fresh ears.

Preparation
During the mastering process, an album evolves to its definite form. Thourough preparation will usually save time, energy and money. Determine who will attend the mastering and feel free to bring along some reference CD's.

Booking
For planning and preparation on our side, we will discuss the following:
- what kind of medium / format will you bring in?(audio cd, 24 bit data, dat, tape, vinyl etc.)
- what will be the total program duration?
- are there any special treatments involved like restoration, multi-channel etc.
- what do you wish for: CD production master (Premaster CD, DDP image), separate files, audio for dvd, extra copies etc.?


Warranty

With all the care for its content, the master is sent to the record company or pressing plant. Should anything happen at this stage, you can rely on our back up and quick replacement.
