More About Mastering

Mastering is the final stage of the music production process.

When you have a mastered version of your song, you’re ready to upload to streaming sites, burn CDs and release your music for the whole world to hear.

Our mastering service costs $45 per track.

If you need different versions of your final mix to be mastered with the same mastering processing (for example, an instrumental version) we charge $20 per iteration after payment of the initial fee above.

We offer discounts for albums and EPs and we look forward to hearing your music!
