Recently it seems a good number of clients ask for a set of mp3's... made and sent here or there, after the projects been "completed" and the bill's been settled. Sometimes it boils down to an extra half hour of work..just wonder if ppl are doing this kind of stuff gratis or extra charge... or how you deal with it? Thx. |

I've contemplated making an "order form" of sorts so the clients can see the options for final parts, something like... - Audio CD Replication Pre-master - DDP image (on disc) - DDP image (uploaded) - 16-bit/44.1kHz WAV files - 24-bit wav files - MP3's; select from 320, 256, 192, or 128mbps (check all that apply) This way I can pre-calculate (and pre-charge) for what the client will need before the final bill has been wrapped up. |

In Sequoia export > audio as mp3, will export the entire project from track marker to track marker, as any mp3 encoding rate chosen with the ID3 tag as the CD text. Takes 5 minutes. |

IMHO, in this economy it is not a good idea to start adding on a lot of extra charges (or raising prices).If you do you may see your clients looking elsewhere. Too many "mastering engineers" and not enough clients who need their services. |

I can't think of any other industry where so many practitioners trip over themselves to boast - proudly - how much work they do for free. |

What if your encoding software screws up, client uploads and sells glitched audio. You don't listen through to everything that leaves your studio? |
