Instrumental / A Capella / Extended / Alternate Version: $20/Track
Alternate versions of any track mastered with identical processing in the same session.

Tape Layback: $20/Track
Digital mixes printed to 1/2" tape can gain the pleasing benefits of tape saturation, and the tone imparted by the electronics of our killer sounding ATR 102 (restored by Mike Spitz).

Depending on your project there may be additional fees related to the output format.

CDs

Production Master Disc:
$50
Red Book compliant master disc with UPC/ISRC information and CD-Text encoded. The Red Book disc is to be opened only at the replication plant, and should not be removed from it’s case or played.

DDPi: Free
An alternative to Production Master Discs. Disc Description Protocol images (DDPi) are electronic versions of master discs that are accepted by many replication plants around the world. They are 100% true representations of your masters with all music, PQ coding, fades/transitions, and ISRCs/UPC data intact. DDPi can easily be sent to a plant via FTP, removing the need for physical media and the resources to ship it. Since this saves money and is better for the environment DDPi assembly is free at Telegraph.

Reference Disc: $10
Reference discs are copies of the master intended for personal listening or copying. Reference disc should not be used for CD replication or vinyl pressing, as they may contain errors that can result in rejection of your project at the plant.

Shipping: 3-day shipping of CD production masters to your door or the domestic plant of your choice is included. Expedited shipping or shipping to foreign plants is extra and varies based on destination zip/postal code.

Vinyl
These prices are for materials and "flat cuts", meaning a straight transfer with no additional mastering work. If additional mastering work is necessary it is billed at the regular per-track rate.
