RATES
You may be asking why my rates are so affordable, here are a few reasons why!
1. I have very low overheads (everything is paid for)
2. There is no "live room' at the studio for recording larger instruments i.e. drums meaning I can cut my charges by up to 50% when compared to similarly equipped studios.
NOTE: There are no restrictions on recording/overdubbing everything else within my fully acoustically treated studio environment.
RECORDING:
£15 per hour (Engineer incl.)
You've got your song written, all the musicians are ready to go and you want to record.
At Maze Audio that's no problem, I have produced and engineered a wide variety of recording work for all sorts of musical talent from singer/songwriters, guitarists and other instrumentalists as well as commercial recordings for voiceovers, audiobooks and more.
It's safe to say that your song, book or otherwise will be in well-experienced and safe hands.
AUDIOBOOK PRODUCTION:
£20 per hour (concessions available)

Note: - We have a variety of narrators available upon request for an additional charge.
MIXING:
£15 per hour worked (quantity reductions apply)
average duration is 3-4hrs per song
So you've just finished recording your song, and now you have your multitrack or stems and you would like to have them professionally mixed and mastered.
Simply fill out the form, I will send you a quote and when you're happy to proceed we can get started!
Covid-permitting I am more than happy for you to attend the mixing session in person.
If that’s not possible, after the initial listening step I generally like to chat over the phone to gain a clear idea of how you would like it to sound. I am happy for you to send me a reference track.
MASTERING:
£30 per song
IWhen it comes to mastering, I do all my mastering "in the box” using the best software that’s available, you will receive 4 masters.
