My rate is a flat fee based on the length of the project. This fee does not change even if multiple passes are required to achieve the desired result. The project cost calculator below can generate a ballpark figure for your job, which you can then email to me along with details about the project. My rate is the same regardless whether the disc I provide to you will be used for CD replication or as a premaster for cutting a vinyl lacquer (lacquers must be cut at another facility). If both CD and vinyl premasters are required, double the number of required production master and reference discs.

If you are ready to send your project, you can fill out, print and include this submittal form to assist me in processing your new job.

length of project in minutes

This is my engineering fee per minute of mastered audio. If the project spans multiple discs (i.e. a double CD or double LP), enter the total time for all discs.

number of production masters

A production master is a disc that you send to the replicator. It is thoroughly tested for errors. It should not be used for casual listening or for making copies. If the project spans multiple discs (i.e. a double CD or double LP), enter that number of discs here.

number of reference discs

A reference disc serves as a listening/duplication copy that you hang on to while the production master is at the replicator. If the project spans multiple discs (i.e. a double CD or double LP), enter that number of discs here.

setup fee

Includes burning, testing and labeling of discs, project load-in, file transfer and conversion, backup, archiving, etc.
