Rates and Deliverables

 

  • Up to 12 multitrack files and up to 5 minutes of audio is a base price of $250 USD / $300 CDN.
  • A non-refundable $50 USD / $60 CDN up front start up fee is required before tracks will be analyzed and evaluated for guideline compliance. This fee will be deducted from the base price.
    • Tracks that require editing, timing correction or pitch correction will be subject to additional cost. Editing, cleaning up and fixing is not mixing. It is much more cost effective to have all of these perfectly in order prior to submitting files for a mix.
    • Track counts in excess of 12 will be subject to additional cost.
    • Track duration in excess of 5 minutes will be subject to additional cost.
    • End deliverables are limited to what is shown below (see 'End deliverables are:'). Additional deliverables will be subject to additional cost.
    • Bounced tracks will be evaluated to determine if they qualify as single or multiple tracks.
  • A total guaranteed cost will be presented after the start up phase, before mixing begins.
  • The balance of the base rate minus the start up fee is required before mixing begins.
  • The accepted raw file formats are limited to individual wav, flac or wavpack files, rendered as start-to-finish full project length files. Files should be 24 bit and submitted at the recorded sample rate.
  • Turnaround time for a single song once mixing commences is roughly 5 business days (not guaranteed - it is done when it is done, and this is to your advantage).
  • Rates are subject to change at any time. The base rate will always be communicated prior to track analysis.
  • Up to two sets of revisions and mix adjustments to the final mix are included in the base cost.
  • End deliverables are:
    • One stereo mix ready for mastering - or - one stereo mix rendered at commercial levels.
    • Stereo stems of auxiliary buses suitable for creation of mix variations (minus mix bus processing).
    • Individual mono or stereo track stems (minus auxiliary bus processing and mix bus processing).
