Rates, Pricing and Purchasing Suggestions:

It will most likely take you longer than you think to record your CD. Buy as much time as possible and use it wisely. It might be helpful to break up your recording sessions into chunks. Be ready, be steady and be on time.

Schedule wisely - don't be tired, like right off an out of town gig, all night party, or anytime around test time for you students. If you become a 13th-Track signed talent, percentage recording is negotiable.

Average time per song is estimated in parentheses for each rate package. For a really good recording, estimate two hours of tracking and two or more hours of re-mixing per song. For quicker simpler recordings, estimate about an hour for tracking (band at once/twice) and an hour for basic mixing.
