Basic Pricing
Here are some basic rates for tracking at Blue Cave Studios. We are pretty flexible when it comes to pricing, so give us a call and we’ll talk.
Basic Tracking/Editing/Mixing
- basic rate is $40/hour for all studio time
- tracking begins at an agreed upon time
- small load-ins are not put on the clock, but you should plan to arrive early enough to start on time
- ending time is at an agreed upon time – studio time includes back up and creation of any audio or data disks
Bulk Discount Rate
- book 10 hours in advance and receive a 15% discount (paid in full)
Full CD Rates
- If you plan to record a full CD at Blue Cave Studios we can work out a rate that is not based on the hourly rate, but is instead a package rate – one price.
- I try to get a sense of the overall project and then give a discount based on how much time I think it will really take me to do the project.
- I then charge a flat, discounted fee so you don’t have to look at the clock while we’re trying to make music.
- 1/2 is due at the contract signing and 1/2 when finished. Payment plans can be worked out -
