EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2010

STANDARD STUDIO RATES FOR RECORDING / MIXING DOWN

$ 55.00 PER HOUR

MASTERING / DUBBING / LAYOUT / OFFLINE WORK

$ 45.00 PER HOUR

BLOCK RATES ARE AS FOLLOWS

20 HOUR BLOCKS = 20 @ $40.00 = $ 800.00

10 HOUR BLOCKS = 10 @ $45.00 = $ 450.00

BLOCK HOUR RATES REQUIRE PAYMENT IN ADVANCE OF SESSION OR NO LATER THAN BEFORE START OF SESSION.  ONCE THE BLOCK HAS EXPIRED, THE NEXT BLOCK MUST BE PAID FOR IN FULL OR THE RATE RETURNS TO THE STANDARD FULL RATE FOR COMPLETION

OF THAT DAY’S WORK.  THEREAFTER, ANOTHER BLOCK

CAN BE PURCHASED TO CONTINUE PROJECT.

ALL RATES WILL BE FIGURED TO THE NEXT QUARTER-HOUR.

BLOCK RATES TRULY DO SAVE THE ARTIST OR BAND A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY, WHILE ENSURING THE STUDIO HAS RECEIVED PROPER COMPENSATION FOR OUR CREATIVE WORK INVOLVED.  THIS MAKES THE OFFERING OF BLOCK RATES A VERY 'WIN-WIN' SITUATION.

SO IF YOU BOOK WITH US (OR ANY OTHER FACILITY), ALWAYS ATTEMPT TO BOOK A SESSION AT THE BLOCK RATE LEVEL (YOU HONESTLY WILL BE MORE RELAXED, WITH A LITTLE LESS 'CLOCK WATCHING') AND MORE CONCENTRATION TOWARD THE RECORDING.

NP Visit Fee

THIS SECTION IS RELATED TO THE SEASONAL WORK OF BOOKING A SANTA APPEARANCE AT YOUR CHILD DAYCARE CENTER OR ADULT NURSING FACILITY.  WE DECIDED TO CALL THIS NP (NORTH POLE) SO THAT THERE WOULD BE LESS LIKELIHOOD OF A BELIEVER RUNNING INTO THIS INFORMATION.  SO, IF YOU AREN'T IN NEED OF A JOLLY FELLOW IN RED COME DECEMBER, PLEASE VISIT ANOTHER SECTION OF OUR WEBSITE!

SANTA VISITS APPOINTMENTS CAN BE SCHEDULED FOR A DECEMBER VISIT ANYTIME AFTER OCT.31TH   SINCE BOOKING AN APPEARANCE MOST OFTEN OCCURS VIA A TELEPHONE CONVERSATION, ANY EMPLOYEE OF FACILITY CAN REPRESENT THAT BUSINESS AND IN ACCORDANT TO MISSOURI LAWS, CONSTITUTES A BINDING AGREEMENT.  SO PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE A OWNER, DIRECTOR OR ASSIT. DIRECTOR WHEN WE SPEAK!  A CANCELATION CAN BE MADE 2 WEEKS (10 BUSINESS DAYS) PRIOR TO SCHEDULED DATE BEFORE A FEE WILL BE CHARGED (CURRENTLY $50).  IN ADDITION, SHOULD THE DAYCARE BUSINESS NEGLECT TO PROPERLY CANCEL APPEARANCE, AND WE ARRIVE, A MILEAGE FEE WILL ALSO BE INCLUDED (DERIVED FROM A GOOGLE PORT TO PORT MAP).  THE CURRENT I.R.S. STANDARD IS 58.5 CENTS PER MILE (WE ONLY CHARGE 50 CENTS PER TRAVELED MILE).

A SANTA VISIT IS PRICED BETWEEN $130 AND $175 DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF CHILD OR ADULTS INVOLVED.  A NORMAL VISIT IS DEEMED AS ENOUGH TIME TO VISIT EACH GROUP OF CHILDREN AND ATTEMPT TO GET THE INDIVIDUAL A ONE-ON-ONE WITH SANTA TO HEAR OF THE TOY OR ITEM MOST WANTED. WE DO REQUEST YOU NOT "FORCE" A SCARED CHILD TOWARD SANTA.  WITH A LITTLE SOFT COAXING, MORE OFTEN SANTA CAN GET THE CHILD TO VISIT ON THEIR OWN FREE WILL.

LASTLY, SANTA WILL LEAVE BEHIND A 'SPECIAL' CANDY CANE THAT THE CHILDREN ARE TOLD TO NOT EAT UNTIL CHRISTMAS EVE, RIGHT BEFORE BRUSHING THIER TEETH AND GOING TO BED.  THIS CANE WILL MAKE THEM SLEEPY AND WANT TO GO TO BED, SO HE CAN COME AND LEAVE THEIR TOYS.  WE DO LEAVE A FLIER FOR YOU TO POST SO PARENTS UNDERSTAND THE PURPOSE.
