2021 = Professional audio mastering services

(January 2021):

At SPS Mastering we have now been mastering audio for five years, since we started in late 2016! As we continue to expand our client base, adding analogue and digital mastering tools/equipment to our studio, we grow and get busier! 

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has every been in touch and hired us (scroll down for client list). 

Please get in touch with Simon Scott (from Slowdive) for your mastering and mixing requirements: teamsimonscott@gmail.com

What do we do at SPS? Processing occurs in the analogue domain with digital outboard processing and use some software plugins for limiting, metering and audio analysis. 

What is SPS Mastering? The purpose of mastering is to balance sonic elements of a stereo mix and optimize playback across all systems and media formats. Traditionally, mastering is done using tools like equalization, compression, limiting and stereo enhancement.

SPS Mastering Rates

CD + Digital Download + Cassette Mastering Rates 2021:

One track, up to six minutes of audio to master, starts at £75.00 (GBP)^ with no set up fee for digital or CD releases and x1 free revision.

^  tracks over 6 minutes have a negotiable rate (please email: teamsimonscott@gmail.com) 

All prices include a master file (DDP with embedded metadata such as ISRC codes and other info) or the delivery of Wav files (for vinyl, cassette and digital downloads) with no set up costs for CD, digital download or cassettes. 

Vinyl Mastering rates 2021:

Vinyl mastering template set up is £100.00. SO therefore if you are having a CD, digital download, or cassette mastered and want vinyl too it is only an additional £100.00 for both formats (on top of the cost to master your CD, digital masters or cassette. For example, 8 x tracks (£75.00 each track) = £600.00 plus vinyl mastering costs is a total cost of £700.00.

*Please contact me for prices for artists wishing to get their music mastered or mixed, and for all other enquiries please email me at - teamsimonscott@gmail.com

Mixing Rates:

Each stem is £100.00 so a three stem song of the drums + bass guitars (1 stem), guitars (2), and synths and/or keys (3), is a total of £300.00 to mix. I cap mixing at the overall price of £400.00 but for under eight stems to be mixed.
