Matthew J Barnhart / Works Progress Mastering
While I feel it's best for you to use a more-experienced mastering engineer (John Golden comes to mind), sometimes in the world of independent music there just isn't the budget for such a thing. As a result, I offer inexpensive mastering services for those on tight budgets.
There are two different pricing structures:
- Client-attended: $35 per hour
This is for those that want to be present for the mastering session. - Client-unattended: $35 per 10 minutes of music
The final charge is based on the final total playing time of the disc, billed in 5 minute blocks. For example, a CD with a final playing time of 42:15 would cost $157.50. (4.5 10-minute blocks x $35.)
