No project is the same, please email me for a custom quote based on your needs. I often work out rates per project with clients. My email adress is : michael@hyperborealaudio.com

As a general guideline, my rates are as follows:

$50/track for mastering (assuming a 3-6m average track length.)

$50/hour for all mixing, stem mastering, and audio restoration work.

I offer remote tutoring / consulting services for using Ableton Live, Adobe Audition, Analog + Digital Synthesis , Hardware Integration , and general mixing and mastering techniques (among other related subjects). I charge $80 for a 1.5 hour session via Google Meet or Skype with screen sharing (discounted to $70/session if booking more than 3 sessions). 

I am currently offering a free 30-minute consultation, to discuss your project and see if we’re a good match to work together. If you’re interested, please click the link below to schedule:

Technical specifications for Mastering: 

Send me uncompressed (.wav or .aiff) files at the highest bit rate and sampling frequencies they were recorded in. No need to upsample or downsample.  Dropbox / Google Drive / wetransfer are all fine. Ideally, tracks for mastering should have peaks at – 6db or lower. Also, please remove any limiters or compressors on the master track before rendering. This provides me with some headroom to work with. I can accept cassette tapes as well, and can provide high quality tape transfers.  I will deliver files for digital releases at CD quality (16bit , 44kHz) via Dropbox unless otherwise instructed. DDP files, CD hard copies, and cassette masters are available upon request for an additional fee.
