Steps to order online audio mastering services:

1. Purchase the appropriate service and options using your Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express via our secure online server at http://www.crazymastering.com/pas/PurchaseCDMastering.html  (Or you can call us at 541-517-1458 and provide you credit card details over the phone.)
2. Follow the link at the completion of your transaction to fill out our online Audio Mastering Order Form to list details about your audio tracks, such as artist name, album name, track name, any particular notes about individual tracks or the album as a whole, ISRC codes, etc., as well as your shipping and contact details.  Alternatively, you can access the online versions of the order form by clicking here - Online Order Forms.
3. After we have received your electronic payment confirmation AND your online Audio Information Form, we will send you an email at the address you listed on your Information Form with instructions on how to upload your audio tracks directly to our online server.  On a Windows PC, you can use Internet Explorer to transfer the files or, if you prefer not to use Internet Explorer you can download a free FTP (File Transfer Protocal) program at www.smartftp.com.  On a Mac, you will need to use an FTP program – we recommend “One Button”, which can be downloaded for free at www.onebutton.org . 
4. Upon completion of your file transfer, you will need to respond to our email indicating that all files have transferred and are ready for mastering.  Your mastering project’s turnaround timeline will begin as soon as we receive this email from you and verify that all files have been successfully uploaded and are ready for mastering.

It’s that easy! 

We then master your audio tracks and create a gold master CD and track log sheet from them, as well as an MP3 CD, and ship everything back to you using the shipping method associated with the service level you purchased.  You will receive a confirmation email when your package has shipped (and a tracking number, if you purchase either rush service level). 

If you have any questions at any point during the process, don’t hesitate to email or call for assistance.  We’re here to help.
