We offer a number of different packages based on
a day rate, an hourly rate or an all-encompassing rate
to include all aspects of the recording and production
project. All our recording is done on location using
a method based on Deutsche Grammophon's '4-D' system
- all recording and editing is carried out in the digital
domain.
For a typical CD project we carry out two days' recording
on location and up to three days' editing, mixing and
post-production. The latter includes inserting second
or third takes within a main take, polishing and mastering
the recording to optimum standard. Editing takes place
within our acoustically optimized post-production facility
housing a first-rate monitoring system.
Daily rate (one full day's recording and Red
Book master): £350
Digital editing/post-production: £40
per hour
MP3 file encoding: £20 per hour
Travel: 30p per mile
Recording Media: CDR - £3, DVD-R - £5,
DAT - £7.
The complete package includes travel to and
from location, two full days of recording, unlimited
editing, post-production and a Red Book master of the
recording: £1,000
