Pricing
Production
Production services can include one, some, or all services involved in creating a track. As such, pricing depends on the services requested by the client.
We specialize in mixing and mastering. For projects that request both mixing and mastering, we offer a 10% discount. Pricing guides for mixing and mastering services are listed below.
We also offer multi-track recording services (in Berlin or remote) for instruments and vocals. The basic fee is €100 for 4 hours, which is typically enough to capture a completed song by a soloist or group.
We also do track editing work.
Editing includes --
Instrument/Vocal pitch correction
For example, if your singer or instrument is off-key, or follows the wrong melody. Even if your singer cannot hold a tune at all, we can tune that to your desired melody.
We can also fix instruments playing in the wrong key (e.g. major instead of minor)Instrument/Vocal time correction
We can fix instruments that play off-beat, either by adjusting stem alignment, or note-by-note.A.I. vocalist
No vocalist? No problem! Give us your lyrics and melody and we'll add a realistic male or female vocalist to your track, using artificial intelligence models that have been trained on human voice characteristics and breathing patterns. Different voices are available, and backing vocals and harmonization can be added too!
Editing work is charged at €50 per hour. Note that basic pitch and time correction, and AI vocals, can usually be done very quickly. In fact, basic pitch and time correction is included free in our Mixing package.
Adding further layers of detail will take more time, of course. The client's goals are discussed prior to starting work, so that everything is completed within budget and at the expected quality.
