Rates

Updated 2/11/08

Mastering Engineer - Nathan JamesThe Vault utilizes two categories to determine the rate for your project. They are based mainly on your budget and the timeline for the completion of your project. The rates are subject to change so I encourage you to "Get a Quote" and include a description of your project. I generally try to respond within 24 hours.

The two types of rates for mastering are the scheduled and the unscheduled rate. The scheduled rate is employed when a specific date and time are reserved in the mastering studio, while the unscheduled rate is utilized when time is not such a factor and you want to save a few bucks. Be sure to mention which approach you prefer. The scheduled rate has a slightly higher cost and fast turnaround times (you would walk out of the studio with master in hand). The unscheduled rate is a little cheaper and there is generally a 1-2 week turnaround time depending on the intensity of the calender. Of course I'm also happy to field any questions you might have about the process leading up to, during, and after the mastering session.
