Pricing
For mastering, i bill on a per-track basis. For a single track I charge 100€, and for two or more tracks 85€ per track. For any albums lasting over 30 minutes, I keep a minimum charge of 600€.
For example, a four-track EP would be 340€, a ten-track album 850€, and a six-track, 35-minute album would be 600€.
Lower 0% VAT prices apply to non-EU clients and EU businesses with a valid VAT number.
The lacquer cutting prices are stated as per side of the record. For a normal 12" record you need two sides. The prices do not include packaging and shipping costs to the pressing plant. The price for 12" lacquer disc reference copies is 50.00€ + shipping costs. I only provide reference copies along with a master lacquer order.
Separate instrument tracks, radio edits, and other additional tracks cost an additional 10€ per track when done in the same session (incl. 25.5% VAT).
If edits are made afterwards, I charge slightly more because I have to restore all the settings manually, and the workload is therefore greater.
Vinyl masters as files for elsewhere to be cut: 7" & 10" = 50€, and 12" = 100€ (incl. 25.5% VAT).
Mastering from two stems (such as vocals and backing tracks) is included in the price. As the number of tracks increases, the workload increases and pricing is determined on a case-by-case basis. Contact me for details.
I offer a full satisfaction guarantee for my work. Changes to the mastering work are included in the price until both parties are satisfied - within reasonable limits. If new replacement mixes are provided during the revision process or if changes are made to the project after approved masters have been delivered, additional work will be billed by track: +25€ /track (incl. VAT 25.5%).
For difficult cutting work (for example long album sides, loud cuts), I recommend purchasing a 12" reference disc before the actual cutting. If this is not done, the customer agrees to rely on my judgment on the sound quality, and any recuts will be done at the client's expense.
