HOW IT WORKS

01

SEND US YOUR DEMO + PRE-PRODUCTION

YOUR DEMOS DON’T HAVE TO BE PERFECT.

MULTI-TRACKS, GARAGEBAND DEMO, VOICE MEMO ON YOUR IPHONE…IT DOESN’T MATTER. SIMPLY SEND US YOUR DEMO. WE WILL CONNECT WITH YOU ON A VIRTUAL PRE-PRODUCTION SESSION, WHERE YOU TELL US WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR IN TERMS OF VIBE & INSTRUMENTATION. WE’LL THEN COLLABORATE WITH YOU TO DEFINE A SONIC IDENTITY & VISION FOR YOUR SONG.

02

PRO LEVEL ARRANGEMENT + PRODUCTION

PROFESSIONAL RECORDING WITH PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS

THIS IS WHERE WE GET TO WORK. WE WILL ARRANGE THE TRACK BASED ON THE GUIDELINES FROM OUR PRE-PRODUCTION SESSION. ONCE THE SONG IS CHARTED OUT, WE WILL PRODUCE A MULTI-TRACK RECORDING OF YOUR SONG, COMPLETE WITH LIVE DRUMS, RECORDED BY PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS.

TO MAKE SURE WE’RE CAPTURING YOUR VISION, WE’LL BE SURE TO STAY CONNECTED THROUGHOUT THE PRODUCTION PROCESS. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU’RE INCLUDED IN EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!

03

MIXED + MASTERED RHYTHM TRACK

Time to move some faders.

ONCE THE PRODUCTION PROCESS IS COMPLETE, WE GO TO MIXING. JUST LIKE IN PRODUCTION, YOU PLAY AN INTEGRAL PART IN THIS STEP. THE MIXING & MASTERING PROCESS BRINGS FORWARD YOUR SONIC IDENTITY, ADDING THAT EXTRA BIT OF SPICE & SONIC CHARACTER THAT MAKES YOUR ART UNIQUELY YOURS.

ONCE YOU SIGN OFF ON YOUR MASTER, WE SEND OVER THE MASTERS. IN ADDITION, WE ALSO SEND PROCESSED MULTI-TRACKS FOR USE IN CONTENT, BACKING TRACKS, OR WHATEVER ELSE YOU MIGHT NEED THEM FOR!
