Mastering
I love to work with all forward thinking artists, producers, bands, labels, mixing engineers and production companies to deliver brilliant sounding masters that will translate everywhere.
The final step before release can make all the difference. I approach mastering with precision, respect, and serious attention to detail.

To keep things transparent, I work with a flat per-track rate.

Sameday delivery mastering
Sameday Delivery mastering is available for €80 per track. Please contact me first to confirm availability for Sameday Delivery.
Additional masters
- Alternate radio/instrumental edits € 15 per version
- Additional Vinyl ready masters € 15 per track
- Additional approved Apple Digital Masters € 15 per track
- Delivery as a DDP image (CD) with MD5 checksum € 40
Alternate versions must be the exact same mix of the original version and have to be delivered at once; otherwise € 25 per extra version will be charged.
Stem Mastering
With stem mastering individual audio tracks (stems) are grouped together for independent control and sound processing. The max amount of stems that I work with is 5.
Please contact me first if you think you might need stem-mastering. Most of the times stem-mastering is not needed and stereo mastering will work fine.
Important notice:
- Revised mixes that require new mastering € 55
- Modified mixes that use the same settings € 35 **
New mixes that use the same settings needs to be send within 7 days after the original mastering, or else I will charge the regular mastering-fee.
All prices are excluding 21% Dutch VAT.

- Besides mastering, I’m happy to help with audio editing, restoration, and transfers.

Turnaround Times
Singles or small EP's can usually be done within 3 workingdays depending on my current schedule. Albums will obviously take longer, please contact me for my current schedule and to discuss your deadline.

Ordering and Payment
For single-track mastering EP's or albums, the fastest way is through our online ordering system, simple, secure, and ready to go.
If you have specific wishes, please let me know and provide me with all relevant information like: companyname, contactname, full adress, VAT number and emailadres. You will receive an agreed upon invoice and after the payment is payed in full, I will start mastering.
All prices are excluding 21% Dutch VAT.
Attended Mastering
I’m occasionally asked whether clients can attend the mastering session. Since 2020, I no longer offer attended mastering sessions.
The reasoning behind this can be found here.
Revisions
If your master doesn’t sound as expected, I’ll gladly revise it free of charge (fair use policy). Please send detailed feedback within 14 days of receiving the initial masters.
