How much does Aria Mastering cost?
On its pricing page in September 2026: $9.90 per master, or monthly plans of $49 (10 songs), $99 (25) and $249 (100) with a 3-month minimum. MFiT and 48 kHz files are $10 add-ons.

Not automatically. Analog gear adds its own character, which some music suits. Digital chains are precise and repeatable. The best test is to listen to both on your own song at matched loudness.
