I note there are people charging around £50.00 a track, often less experienced and less well equipped. Find out for yourself what equipment and experience your existing mastering engineer has. How does it stack up ?  Are you over paying for the knowledge and service you are getting? At £50.00 per track this renders a 12 track album as being almost 3 x the price (£600.00 vs £230.00), can you afford not to try my mastering ? My album rate is £230.00

Time to try me out !

You can send me 3 tracks, the one you want mastered and the one before it and the one after it in your intended running order (so I can get a feel for the product flow and material) for just £30.00 you can hear the results and test the service yourself. For a very small outlay you can test my services. When you proceed with the full project I will deduct the £30.00 from the full job pricing. I can include a 30 second edit and stinger edit in the price for the main track. If you need alt-mixes mastered we can work out a very good value package that will not break the bank.
