PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE CHEKLIST/RATE SHEET ABOVE.

For more information on the mastering process, PLEASE VISIT THIS PAGE. There you will find addtional information on SAMPLE RATES, CONVERSION, AND DITHERING.  I can also provide STEMS MASTERING, "ALTERNATE" MASTERS, INSTRUMENTAL ONLY, VOICE ONLY, ET CETERA... Please e-mail for rates on these.  I glady do "ON-LINE" MASTERING! ATTENDED SESSIONS can be arranged as well. Normal turnaround is around 1 week. - Rush turnaround is 2-3 days (a nominal additional charge applies). Please e-mail for the rate.   

Special Considerations  Savings, Quotes, and Remix Substitutions:  Having a RedBook PMCD Standard Master is an important part of the service here. I often recommend delivery via my top-quality, triple-checked CD-R stock. I am also happy to provide you with DDP files to upload to the duplication house of your choosing. Should you prefer digital delivery of your finished files, and since that saves me time, materials, and shipping costs, I can pass the savings on to you!  *The digital delivery discount is NOT in addition to other specials or discounts. ALSO - If you want your project delivered digitally, PLEASE READ THIS PAGE.   

CUSTOM QUOTES: If your project times out into the next banding by a minute or two, I’ll be glad to give you a “to the nearest minute” rate that could shave a few $$ of f the project total. Let me know the total running time, and I will give you an exact quote.   

REMIXES: I assume your tracks have already been mixed to your satisfaction upon arrival here. Sometimes, though, it happens that remixes may be required. If you decide to substitute any mastered mixes that have already been processed, a charge of $5 per recorded minute applies.  

SINGLE TRACK MASTERING: If your project parcels out one track at a time, BLANTONE MUSIC's MU-SPOT MASTERING will master 1 track (NOT TO EXCEED five minutes in length) to (1) RedBook CD for $115 including shipping (or digital delivery for only $75)  

ISRC CODES:  I am most happy to help you administer this very important aspect of protecting your royalties in this digital day and age. Blantone Music is an ISRC Manager. To learn more on why these SHOULD apply to you, read this document I've put together.
