We make these other “versions” (up to 5) above as a pre-Mastering service on the same hourly rate from your approved Mix.

Usually, it’s less than a hour to make those versions, we suggest that we do because it’s such a cost savings compared to later when you discover that you need them later for a DJ, or Radio program or Remix.
