Mastering
Mastering typically will include EQ, compression, dynamic and micro-dynamic treatment, mid-side processing, error correction and noise reduction, track leveling and spacing, customer feedback on mixes/allowance for new mix uploads, final master review and delivery... all things necessary to present a stereo audio CD for pressing or for online digital sales.

Mastering Fees: $45/hr
The average cost of mastering a full length CD will average somewhere between $500-800 plus applicable taxes, but each case is different depending on the condition of the mixed tracks. If you would like to work within a specific set budget, email me at info@sidegatestudio.com to see what can be arranged.

*At the moment I do not offer services for surround sound or SACD. If you require these services, I highly recommend Graemme Brown at Zen Mastering.
