FAQs

How much will it cost??

A typical 12 song CD will cost around $600 (give or take) to master. We will create a CD replication master or a DDP master, and make high quality mastered for iTunes wav files of each song. These .wav files can also be used to make your digital download files. Our studio rate is $75 per hour which will determine the actual cost of your master. If you have just a single track it will cost $100 to create a master file. Additionally, we will provide high quality Mp3s tagged with artwork and metadata that you provide us. These rates allows us the proper time become very familiar and make your project very nice.

What formats should I send?

The best file format for the mixes that you send us is 24 bit WAV files. 44.1k, 48k, 88.2k and 96k Hz sample rates are all good but It is important that the mixes are 24 bit for best quality. The sample rate should be the same rate as your multi-track project. Do not re-sample your mixes, better that we do if necessary. Send us first generation files. Do not mix to Mp3 files. Mp3 is good for reference mixes and emails but is low quality. WAV is high quality.

 

What text information is needed?

Text information will be embedded in the master as CD text and MetuData used for reports that are generated. It is very important to include the proper spelling for:
CD title:
CD Artist:
