Pricing

Every project has its own creative and technical requirements. The prices below provide realistic starting points. Your final quote will reflect the project’s length, complexity, source materials, timeline, deliverables, and intended use. Whenever possible, I offer a fixed project price before the work begins. Your written estimate will identify the scope of work, deliverables, included revisions, turnaround time, and total cost.

Original Music

Custom music will be composed and produced to support the tone, pacing, and purpose of your project. My prices for these types of services include the following:

  • Custom music up to 60 seconds: starting at $750.

  • Custom music from one to three minutes: starting at $1,250.

  • Longer scores: starting at $500 per finished minute.

  • Highly synchronized or production-intensive music: custom quote.

Pricing can include composition, virtual-instrument production, mixing, and delivery of the completed music. Alternate versions, stems, extensive revisions, live musicians, and expanded licensing may require an additional fee. 

Licensing will be based on how and where the music will be used (including the intended audience, distribution platforms, territory, and duration of use).

Composing and Arranging

Original compositions and professional arrangements will be developed in a way that aligns with your creative direction. Here is my pricing structure for these types of services:

  • Original composition: starting at $500 per piece.

  • Song arrangement: starting at $300 per song.

  • Piano, ensemble, or instrumental arrangement: custom quote.

  • Alternate arrangements or additional versions: custom quote.

The final pricing will depend on the project's length, instrumentation, musical complexity, and required deliverables.

Orchestration

 I can provide detailed orchestration for acoustic, electronic, orchestral, and hybrid projects. My pricing structure for these types of services includes the following:

  • Orchestration: starting at $250 per finished minute.

  • Score preparation and individual parts: custom quote.

  • Large ensembles or highly detailed orchestration: custom quote.

Pricing will depend on the ensemble size, the musical complexity, the condition of the source material, as well as whether a conductor’s score and individual parts are required.

Music Production

I can provide creative and technical production that's designed to develop your recordings into a cohesive, polished final product. Here is my current pricing structure for these services:

  • Full music production: starting at $750 per song.

  • Arrangement and production support: starting at $400 per song.

  • Multi-song EP or album production: custom package pricing.

All of these prices may include creative direction, arrangement support, performance editing, sound selection, virtual instrumentation, tonal shaping, mixing, and final delivery.

I specialize in remote production. Clients can submit recordings and project files in .WAV or any other approved format. If a project requires additional live performances, remote session musicians, or an outside recording facility, this may be coordinated with the client’s approval and will be quoted separately.

Mixing

I can provide professional mixing that's focused on balance, clarity, dynamics, depth, and emotional impact. My pricing for these services includes the following:

  • Stereo mixing: starting at $350 per song.

  • Stem mixing: starting at $400 per song.

  • Complex or high-track-count sessions: custom quote.

  • Five-song EP mixing: package pricing available.

  • Full-album mixing: custom package pricing.

All of these prices include two rounds of revisions and delivery of the final high-resolution stereo mix (unless otherwise stated). Instrumental versions, alternate edits, stems, and additional deliverables may incur an additional fee.

Mastering

Final sonic refinement and quality control are necessary for a project to be released across streaming, broadcast, and physical formats. Here is my pricing structure for these types of services:

  • Single-track mastering: starting at $100 per song.

  • Five-song EP mastering: starting at $450.

  • Ten-song album mastering: starting at $800.

  • Alternate, instrumental, or performance versions: additional fee.

These prices include a high-resolution master and a version that’s prepared for digital distribution. Additional formats can be provided upon request.

Mixing and Mastering Packages

Combining mixing and mastering can create a cohesive workflow from the initial mix through final delivery. That's why I offer the following packages:

  • Single-song mixing and mastering: starting at $425.

  • Five-song EP mixing and mastering: starting at $1,900.

  • Ten-song album mixing and mastering: starting at $3,600.

Package pricing assumes that all files are properly labeled, organized, and ready to mix. Extensive editing, tuning, restoration, or session preparation may require an additional fee.

Audio Editing and Post-Production

I can provide professional audio editing, cleanup, synchronization, restoration, and mixing for films, videos, podcasts, voice recordings, and other forms of digital media. My pricing structure for each of these services includes the following:

  • Audio editing and restoration: fixed quotes starting at $200.

  • Podcast editing: starting at $175 per episode.

  • Short-form video under five minutes: starting at $300.

  • Dialogue cleanup and noise reduction: custom quote.

  • Audio synchronization and timing adjustment: custom quote.

  • Long-form film, video, or podcast projects: custom quote.

Pricing will depend on the length and condition of the source material, the number of tracks, the degree of cleanup required, the delivery specifications, as well as the project's deadline.

Remote Production and File Delivery

I provide remote composition, arranging, orchestration, music production, audio post-production, mixing, and mastering services. Clients can submit recordings, stems, reference tracks, video files, and other project materials online. Completed work can be delivered in the formats required for recording, streaming, broadcasting, film, video, podcasting, or digital distribution.

I do not currently operate a commercial live-tracking facility. If a project requires live musicians or a dedicated recording space, remote session performers or an outside facility may be coordinated with the client’s approval. All third-party costs will be discussed before they are incurred.

Revisions

Most fixed-price projects include two reasonable rounds of revisions, with each consisting of a consolidated list of requested changes submitted at the same time. Additional revisions, major changes in creative direction, replacement source files, or work requested outside the approved scope may require an additional fee. You will always be notified before additional charges are applied.

Hourly Work and Time Tracking

Most services are quoted at a fixed project rate, but certain projects (particularly restoration, troubleshooting, attended sessions, or work involving unpredictable source material) may need to be billed hourly.

When hourly billing is necessary:

  • The standard rate is $85 per hour.

  • You will receive an estimated range before work begins.

  • A maximum authorized amount will be established.

  • Work will not exceed that amount without your written approval.

  • Time will be recorded using project-based time-tracking software.

  • Each entry will identify the date, task, and duration.

  • A detailed time report will be included with the invoice.

  • Time will be rounded only at the final project-total level to the nearest tenth of an hour.

Routine scheduling, invoicing, and administrative work are not billed.

Deposits and Payment

A 50% deposit is generally required to reserve the project and begin work. The remaining balance is due before final unwatermarked or release-ready files are delivered. Larger projects may be divided into milestone payments. Rush projects may incur a surcharge of 25–50% (depending on the requested schedule and availability).

Possible Additional Costs

Unless specifically included in your quote, the following may require an additional fee:

  • Remote session musicians or vocalists.

  • Outside recording-facility costs.

  • Third-party software, assets, or licensing.

  • Extensive audio repair or session organization.

  • Additional revision rounds.

  • Alternate mixes, edits, stems, or deliverable formats.

  • Rush delivery.

  • Expanded commercial usage or ownership rights.

All additional costs will be discussed and approved before they are incurred.

Request a Quote

If you're ready to discuss your project, please provide as much information as possible about its scope, length, timeline, source materials, intended use, and required deliverables. After reviewing the details, I will provide a clear written quote so you can make an informed decision before work begins.
