Mastering a single song isn't an accurate indication of what mastering can do for your project.  How a single song is processed may be a lot different than how it's processed when combined with other songs on your CD.  Mastering will take each song and process it so it has tonal and dynamic consistency with all the songs on your CD.  It takes a collection of individual works (songs) and transforms them into a collective work (CD).  Mastering all your songs at the same time establishes a point of reference and gives your CD that "cohesive sound."

However, we realize that a one song sample is sometimes necessary for a variety of reasons.  If you'd like to request a sample of our work, simply send us one of your songs.  We'll be more than happy to provide you with a 1 minute sample.  Be advised that we do all samples during off hours or downtime.  Therefore, it can take several days to receive your sample.

The nominal fee for a 1 minute sample is $55.00.  The fee will be applied to your account and deducted from your total mastering cost if you choose us to master your project.

The sample will be a .wav or .aiff file (your choice) sent over the Internet.
Please include the e-mail address where you'd like the sample sent and the type of file you prefer.
