Packages & Rates
Eugene offers a few different package deals for his audio and video work at very competitive rates. These packages may be combined to suit the client’s needs; for example, the Live Performance and Video bundles are often purchased together.
Pre-Screen Bundle: A special bundle for people applying to schools, festivals, or competitions. This includes a 2 hour recording session for audio plus one angle of video, as well as mixing/mastering and video editing, and costs $200. Additional recording time can be purchased if necessary. Visit the Auditions and Prescreens page to learn more.
Live Performance Recording Bundle: One fixed rate which includes the tracking session, mixing, and (optional) mastering, plus revisions. “Live performance” simply means that all of the instruments are played and recorded simultaneously. This is the most popular package deal and will generally cost $175 for tracking sessions 2 hours or less.
Mixing: A per-song rate which includes mixing, cleanup, and revisions. This will generally cost between $75 and $150 per piece of music depending on the nature of the material.
Studio Tracking/Overdubbing: An hourly rate for tracking instruments individually which includes the recording session plus comping takes. This will vary based on the project, but will generally cost between $60-80 per hour.
The turnaround time for the Live Performance Recording Bundle and Pre-Screen Bundle will generally be around 1 week, but maybe longer for large projects. Rush jobs (within 2 days from the day of the session) will incur an additional fee.
For more detailed information about the rates for these packages, please contact me using the Contact page or the contact information at the bottom of this page. Bookings made less than one week in advance maybe be subject to an additional cost.
