$50 per hour - $300 minimum

 

Lockout Session:

 

$400 per day - any 8 hr session will be considered a lockout.

 

Definition: Leaving your equipment in the studio overnight with all of the studio’s recording equipment settings left untouched.

This includes everyday of consecutively booked sessions regardless of days off, unless mutually agreed upon by artist & engineer. On sessions booked for over one week, there will be no additional charge for overbooking by 3 days.

 

After tracking has been completed & all your equipment is out of the studio, you can book less hours for vocal & mixing sessions at the normal rates.

 

CD Mastering:

$50 per hour- with a minimum of (and usually no more than) $350 per session.

(compilation CD’s, and mastering songs recorded at multiple studio’s always take a lot longer & we can’t give a quote.)

 

Mixing & Mastering Music Recorded at Art of Ears

We mix to Master. There is no additional Mastering fee for recordings being mixed at Art of Ears.

 

Mixing Sessions Recorded at Other Studios

Save a huge amount of time & money by having your recording engineer backup your original files, make new duplicate copies of each song to bring to us, orginize your audio files with consistent track names & track order, mute or remove any tracks that won't be used, remove any plug-ins we don't have, in each song before you bring us your music to mix.

 

Rates are subject to change.

Mastering: 

 

Bring in your final mixes on flash or hard drive,

or send online through Sendspace or Dropbox. 

 

We equalize, compress/limit, adjust approperiate levels, put songs in order, adjust space between songs, fades or cross-fades if necessary, burn master CD's etc. 

 

We mix & master with Universal Audio plugins.

 

Recording Sessions: 

 

Bring your own hard drive for Backup

You should have enough space on the drive to backup the multi track recordings & any additional mastering.

 

Guitars:

Put new stings on your guitars the day before recording. Stretch them and tune them, repeat until they won’t go flat anymore. Clean ur strings when you’re done.

 

Check the intonation. If your guitar is having problems with intonation Andro can adjust your bridge for you.

 

Drummers:

If you need new heads, put them on your drums a few days prior & play them a little. New heads need to be stretched too & retuned a few times. Get the ideal tuning before you come in to he studio. If you need help with that, we can provide it. 

 

Kick drum heads occationally need to be changed, and some drummers don’t mind playing on slightly worn heads, but if your snare and toms have stick dents in them, you really should replace them.

 

We have a DW "Edge" snare drum, a Genista Premier birch kit, and additional cymbals that drummers can use if they feel it improves the overall sound.
