Invoice clients for mixing, mastering, and recording engineering sessions. Get paid on time with Tidybill.
An audio engineer invoice covers fees for technical audio services including music recording, mixing, mastering, and audio restoration. Audio engineers who focus on music production bill clients (musicians, bands, record labels) for studio time, mixing services, and mastering. Mixing engineers typically work remotely, receiving multitrack files and delivering a stereo mix. Mastering engineers polish the final mix for distribution. Because mixing and mastering are well-defined deliverables, pricing is typically per song or per album rather than hourly. A professional invoice for audio engineering should specify the song title, the service (mixing or mastering), the number of revisions included, and the file formats delivered.
| Service | Typical Rate | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Mix (per song) | £100 - £500 | per song |
| Mastering (per song) | £50 - £200 | per song |
| Mix + Master Bundle | £120 - £600 | per song |
| Album Mix (10 songs) | £800 - £3,500 | per album |
| Recording Session | £50 - £150 | per hour |
| Revision (beyond included) | £30 - £80 | per revision |
For mixing and mastering work, invoice per song or per project on delivery of the finished files. Collect 50% upfront for larger album projects. For recording session work, invoice at the end of each session. Include the number of revision rounds in your invoice (2-3 is standard for mixing). Deliver low-bitrate reference files for approval before releasing the final masters. Net 7 is standard for music production services.
