  subject to MA sales tax
Performance Recording:
The base recording fee for a single CD performance (less than 74 min of actual program material) is $160, which includes the CD mastering, and 2 copies.  Please assume a single CD, unless you know you are over 74 minutes.

Fees may be higher depending on travel time to location.

Fees assume a 2-track stereo recording.  Additional tracks for a live performance are charged at $25 per track.
 
I now offer DVD video performance recording in addition to the normal audio CD.  Your performance is recorded in HD video and mastered to a high quality wide screen DVD with CD quality sound. $100 additional.

Payment of the base recording fee is required at the recording session.
Checks should be made out to: Bill Sitler


Additional CDs and DVDs can be ordered at any time:
CDs are professionally mastered complete with Booklet, Inlay, label, and case.  I try to include photos of the actual performance (no flash).  I also like to take pictures after the performance for the CD cover.

Additional single CDs are $8 each.  A bulk order of 25 or more: $6.50 each
Additional double CDs are $12 each.  A bulk order of 25 or more $10 each
Additional DVDs are $12 each.

All custom editing work, both audio and artwork is charged at the rate of $37 per hour.

Fees may be higher depending on travel time to location.
Copyright Information:
CDs of concerts/recitals are made available for educational use only and I can only distribute them to students, parents of students, performers, composers, and faculty involved in the event.  Distribution of any recording is unlawful without written permission/licensing from the work's copyright owner and the performers involved. It is the responsibility of the person requesting a recording to secure the necessary permission/licenses when necessary.

Cancellations:
It is not a problem, if you need to cancel a book recording.  Please try to let me know 24 hours in advance if possible.  Sometimes I need to travel unexpectedly, therefore I also reserve the right to cancel a booked recording without any consequence.  This seldom occurs, and will only happen due to circumstances beyond my control.
