Single Special
Get to know The Place...For Mastering and hear how great your music can sound!
We offer a Single Song CD Mastering package for our Indie clients. The package includes unattended mastering/processing of one song (one version) for $225 with electronic delivery at no extra cost. If you wish for physical media such as a Ref or PMCD or a DDP please let us know your needs and we will quote you. Also, please let us know your schedule and shipping specifications and we will make every effort to turn your single around quickly. Be assured that Joseph will personally put the same unparalleled experience behind your single as he puts behind every major label album.
The Single Special is a great way to sample our mastering before committing to an album. If you do a single from your album with us and then select us to do your album (including our mastered version of the single), we will deduct the $225 single price from your album!
Please note that multiple songs for an EP or album would average below the single song price--the more songs, the lower price per song!
Fine print: This price is for one session only. If sizable changes are requested or a revised mix is submitted, that would incur an hourly fee plus shipping if applicable.
We are unable to attach ISRCs to internet delivery wav files.
Submission Tips
As far as how to prepare your mixes, just make them sound the best you can. Here is a list of tips:
- Please leave a little head room (3 to 5 dB) so that Joseph has some room to work/process.
- Keep the mixes in the native sample rate you've been working in and keep the bit rate high (24 bit). INCLUDE the sample rate and bit depth in the documentation.
- Stereo interleaved .wav files are preferred, but if you have mixed to AIFF or SD2 just let us know and we will accommodate.
- Send all .wav files on CD-R or DVD-R using the ISO disc protocol.
- Name each file with the song name and version.
- Leave 5 seconds of silence/room tone before and after each song.
- Do your own fade outs (and still add 5 seconds of silence).
PLEASE LABEL your discs with the PROJECT TITLE.
PROVIDE the final TRACK LIST (in order) and an ISRC for each song (if you are using them).
INCLUDE all TECHNICAL INFO such as sample rate and bit depth for each song.
