MIXING AND MASTERING PRICES
Prices for mixing and mastering are an important criterion when deciding on the right mixing or mastering studio, especially for artists with a limited budget.
You have the choice between analog processing and pure digital processing your project. The digital processing dispenses with external analogue outboard equipment and is therefore price cheaper. The studio room and engineer don't change here!
With our prices for mixing, mastering, lessons and services, we have tried to make them as transparent as possible. We are happy to offer generous discounts for larger projects!
So feel free to contact us and we will create it based on your budget a suitable offer
