How much does mastering cost?
Mastering costs can vary greatly depending on where you go. How much they charge generally reflects their previous clientele, quality of gear, and experience. Most high end facilities will end up charging between $400-600 dollars for a mastering job taking around 4-8 hours. Most places charge by the hour, so adjust accordingly if you have a lot of material or it needs alot of work. There are cheaper places and more expensive places which don’t necessarily reflect the quality you will get out of them. If you’re looking around just talk to the engineer and make sure he/she knows what they’re doing and what you’re specific goals are.
