Audio Mastering
Mastering work typically includes audio level, dynamics, stereo field, and equalization adjustments; noise & click removal; fades/crossfades; audio restoration; track sequencing & spacing; and metadata encoding.
Two sample tracks will be provided online initially for approval or revisions before we continue on to the remainder of the project and send out an invoice. A reference of the entire project will be provided for evaluation after the invoice has been paid. Revisions to reference uploads may be requested until the project has been approved.
Mastering work is billed based on the total length of the source material in 5 minute blocks (rounded up). Pricing includes revisions and a set of Digital Master Files suitable for Streaming and Downloading. Both 16-bit / 44.1kHz WAV files and High Resolution Audio (HRA) WAV files (that also qualify for the Apple Digital Masters program) are provided.
