FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My deal is $100 for a complete song/recording session, it's $400 for production (creating the instrumental/scratches), plus recordings. Rather than charging by hour, I make the service about the song. I don't want you or I to feel pressured, so you as an artist can focus on your process, also if need be, we can schedule another recording session free of charge on the days and takes where you find yourself in quicksand. $100 seems good to me considering my equipment (Focusrite interface and Top Tier Blue Mic) and set-up (casual and relaxed). Also, I'll stick with you, working at it until you feel it's as good as it gets. Plus, it makes sense considering Large Pro, "I don't want to ill, I just want to chill, and keep my hands 'round a hundred dollar bill"
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The typical process of recording is as follows: Time Duration: Depends on the artist's level of preparedness mostly, but allow for 1 - 2 hours for the song's master to be complete and sent through e-mail or burned on CD (please bring a CD-R or CD-RW if you'd like one after the session) 1. Meet and Greet (Drink some water, have some tea, warm up vocal cords & relax) (10min) 2. Create Recording Session, and Set Vocal Levels (5min) 3. Recording Your Vocals/Voice(30 min to 1hr) 4. Mixing and Mastering (Optional - 15min to 20min in person, longer if time allows i.e. Mastering can take up to two weeks of mixing a master to complete assignment as mastering music takes some time for best results. 5. Recording Session complete and sent through e-mail or burned to a CD (again please bring) Feel free to contact me if you are not satisfied and would like me to go at mixing and mastering it again.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
14 years personal experience in audio engineering. I've observed software and recording conditions carefully, and have figured out how to make my home studio sound very professional, clear with little, if any detectable background noise. Please listen to my work as evidence at my business website above.
