Moderate post-production mastering processing is performed, as needed, to add musicality and to produce a commercial quality stereo recording at a very good quality level, and at a reasonably low cost.  The package is available with either 4 physical CDs delivered or for Digital-Only delivery.   The physical delivery version includes 4 copies of the audio CD, with basic template artwork containing artist name and song title list.  Pseudo-custom artwork (graphics and credits) may be created for the CD for $75 more if you can provide basic artwork and information (background image, artist logo, program artwork, credit list).  Full custom CD artwork is available for $149 more.
