My services include:
Composing a song:
Based off of reference tracks you provide for me as well as your own requirements for what you want the song to be, I will compose a song. Rates vary depending on what the project entails, but typically I charge $60 per minute of music. This rate includes arranging, mixing and mastering the composition, and it may be more or less, depending on various factors, i.e. genre requested, if lyrics are required, etc.
Your notes and feedback will be requested and honored at every stage of the production process, however I am entitled to ask for extra compensation on composition, if the direction of the composition excessively changes late into the mixing process.
Typically, a rough composition can be made in 2-3 days - though if I am busy with other projects, you can expect delays. I will make you completely aware of when I expect each project to be completed and keep you informed of any unforeseen delays with your project.
I do, on occasion, trade composition for services! If you are curious about those options, please contact me and I will tell you if I am willing and able to trade services.
Mixing your song / podcast:
Provide me with stems of your project in the highest quality format available (.wav preferred) and I will mix your project.
Typically rough mixes can be done within 1-3 days, depending other projects or unforeseen circumstances.
Give me any notes or feedback for revisions. Usually it takes two rounds of revisions before a final mix is reached.
Rates for Mixing are typically less than rates for composition, but depend on the length of the song being mixed and how many stems are provided.
All of my mixing is done via Ableton Live
Mastering Your Song:
Mastering your song is done at a flat rate, $30 per song. I do not have a mastering console, instead I rely on plugins from iZotope and Slate Digital.
Scoring your work:
I am available to compose pieces for podcasts / video projects as well! Rates for these projects are done on a case by case basis, as each piece demands different needs based on your time and budget.
I have access to an extensive sound library and can also provide your piece with Foley work as well.
Producing an artist:
Native to the Long Beach / Los Angeles area? I am available for more collaborative songwriting experiences! Come to my home studio to record vocals or live instrumentation (save for full drum sets) and get assistance on writing your song with me. I can be entirely hands off with the experience, or offer constructive criticism, direction, and on the fly adjustment of your composition.
