You will, however, receive a quote tailored to what your project demands (number of stems and how much the mix achieves the ideal sonic result - therefore how much stem-based processing and parameter automation it requires - are the main factors to determine the customized rate)

48KHz video masters: $5/track
Metadata/ID3 authorization: $8/track

Albums:
Mixing an album is a process and can at times be a demanding one. The quality of the production, the amount of editing and cleaning the recordings require, number and lengths of the songs/pieces involved, number of multi-tracks each session consist of, wether the source material is acoustic, electronic or a mix of two... All these factors directly affect the amount of time and labor that go into an album mixing project.
For your reference, at GERYON Sound, the base (lowest) rate for album mixing is $4000+tax
