Packages
A package here describes the shape of the work rather than a figure. What an episode costs depends on how long it runs, how many separate tracks it arrived on, how much has to come out and what has to be assembled, so the figure is settled in a written quotation for your recording rather than printed against a heading.
01
A monologue, a solo episode, or a conversation that was already mixed down to a single file before it reached you.
What is done
The quickest shape of job, because there is nothing to align and nothing to balance against anything else.
02
An interview or a conversation where each person was recorded on their own microphone, or their own end of a call, and the files still have to be put together.
What is done
The extra work in this shape is in the alignment and the balance rather than in the cutting: two files that never matched have to be made to sound like one room.
03
A session with several microphones, or segments recorded at different times, put together into a finished episode with your own music around it.
What is done
Material you supply is used only where you confirm you hold the rights to it. That question is asked before assembly, not after.
The figure
We listen to the material before quoting for it. What comes back names the scope, one total figure in pounds sterling (GBP), the date the files are due and how many rounds of changes are included.
That figure includes any tax due on it. Nothing is added to it afterwards: no handling charge, no file charge, no surcharge for a payment method. If the work turns out to be larger than what was quoted for, we come back to you with a fresh quotation and wait for you to accept it, rather than carrying on and invoicing for the difference.
Work is quoted per episode or per agreed batch. A batch is quoted as one figure with the episodes it covers named in it, so there is no ambiguity about what has been paid for.
Payment is by bank transfer against an invoice, by card, or through PayPal, on the secure payment link in the email. This website takes no payments and has no checkout: card details are entered on the payment provider's own page, are handled by that provider, and never reach us. The whole of it is set out on the Terms of Service page.
The quotation says how many rounds of changes come with the order and how long you have to ask for them. A round is you listening through and coming back with everything at once, which is quicker for both of us than a note at a time.
Fixing something we got wrong is not a round and is never charged for. Changing your mind about the episode itself, adding material that was not in the brief, or re-cutting round a segment you have decided to drop is new work, and it is quoted before it is started.
