Our Services

WE ARE FLEXIBLE

We like to be as flexible as possible. With that in mind, as an alternative to clients attending their mastering session in our facility here in Moscow, we’re pleased to offer an online mastering service. We master for CD, iTunes and high resolution/definition formats up to 192 kHz. Part of our mastering process involves restoring audio, fixing clicks, pops and noises etc. to provide an added level of quality control.

We’d normally seek to deliver your masters within three to five days. If your project is particularly large or complicated, we would discuss all this with you before starting the work and give you an accurate estimate of when you could expect delivery. If you send us your entire project (Album, EP, Tracks etc.) we’d listen and evaluate what we feel needs to be done and then send you one or two mastered excerpts, illustrating our approach for your approval.

An Express Mastering service is available within a twenty-four hour period but please do check with us beforehand to talk about availability and fees.

We would ask for a 50% payment before any mastering takes place and then upon receiving the balance, we would send you the complete master(s). An excerpt is sent to you for approval before the remaining 50% balance is paid for the complete file.

All our prices here are calculated, for ease, in US Dollars or in Euro. Other currencies could be accepted but please let’s talk about the best options for you.

We will provide invoices and any other documentation you may require in Russian or English, please just let us know.

WE ALWAYS LISTEN

Each mastering version

€10 per version

Backing tracks, instrumentals and mix variations (for example, louder or quieter vocals) providing that these different versions are mastered at the same time as the main mix.

Stem mastering

from €80

This can be a little tricky to define as each project, by its very nature, would be different. We’d listen to the stems that you’ve supplied to us and discuss your desired outcome. We could then give you a far more accurate costing and time frame.
