Time Estimates
|
Traditional Mastering
usually takes an estimated
1/2 hour to 3/4 hour per song.
8 songs will take approximately 4 to 6 hours
12 songs will take approximately 6 to 9 hours.
Separation Mastering can take
a bit longer, but is certainly worth the price difference because
of the noticeable outcome.
PER-SONG ESTIMATE
The amount of time needed for every project is different.
Some songs take more time, some
less.
Usually the first 3 songs in a project take the most
time.
As the project continues, it gradually takes
less per song.
