Premium
quality mastering is not as expensive as you might think.
Our clients typically pay between $300 and $1,100 per album
project, depending on the needs of the project.
When
you consider how much time and money you've already spent
on recording the album, and how much work you're going to
put into marketing and supporting the album after it's released,
this is not a lot of money to ensure the best possible sound
for the album.
"I
know a guy who will master our album for $100!" With
the advent of inexpensive computer editing systems, there
are many people out there who "also do mastering".
Glossy magazine adverts claim that you can achieve professional
mastering results with nothing more than their new "wonderbox"
or software plug-in. We have redone countless albums which
were "mastered" in this fashion. We have numerous
clients who have been down this route once and swear "never
again".
