FAQ
What work fits NAICS 512250?
- Contracted studio time and session production to record music or sound performances, including tracking, mixing, and creation of final masters.
- Audio mastering, duplication, and physical media production runs (CD or vinyl) with specified packaging, labeling, and quality acceptance criteria.
- Digital distribution preparation and metadata management, supplying properly tagged masters, ISRC/UPC assignment, and delivery to designated distribution channels.
