Immersive Audio Consulting Retainer for Labels

Ongoing immersive expertise for labels — catalog strategy, delivery standards, vendor oversight and team training.

Labels releasing immersive audio at scale face the same problems repeatedly: inconsistent quality across vendors, unclear delivery standards, and no internal reference for what good actually sounds like.

What a retainer covers

  • Catalog conversion strategy and prioritisation
  • Written delivery specifications for external vendors
  • Spot QC across incoming immersive masters
  • Engineer and A&R training sessions
  • Format roadmap guidance as platforms evolve

How it works

Retainers are scoped monthly against your release volume, with agreed response times for urgent pre-release questions. You get a consistent point of contact rather than a new briefing on every project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this for?

Labels, publishers and distributors releasing immersive audio regularly enough that consistency and quality control across vendors have become a problem.

What does a retainer include?

Strategy, written delivery standards, ongoing spot QC of incoming masters, team training and guidance as immersive formats change.

Can you QC work from our existing vendors?

Yes. Independent oversight of external vendor deliveries is one of the most common reasons labels engage us.

How is it priced?

Monthly, scoped against your release volume and the level of QC and support required.
