Other Services

MELODY WRITING – $75.00

If you have a finished lyric but don’t have a melody yet or maybe you’re not happy with the one you have I can write an original melody for you for a $75 fee. Since it’s a work-for-hire you would retain all rights to both the lyric and music to your song. I work with writers to make any lyrical/rhyme tweaks that are necessary to make the finished song flow properly etc. Once I complete the melody I will email you a basic guitar/vocal of the song. Email me for a Melody Sampler MP3 if you’d like to hear the quality of my work.

Obtaining a Master Release – $80-100.00

If you’d like to get a master session release from the studio and vocalist on your demo then email me and I will give you information on the fee and provide the proper form to do so. Generally a master session upgrade is $100.00 per song for full band demos and $60 for a guitar/vocal or piano/vocal demo. A master release allows you to pitch the actual recording for tv, film purposes , etc. Not all vocalists will sign a master release if they are in the midst of or are pursuing a recording contract due to legal obligations so if you think you will want a master release let me know upfront before recording your demo to make sure your singer will agree to one.

DIGITAL EDITING

If you need a section removed from a song or maybe the tempo changed in either direction this can be done. Key change also within reason (2-3 pitches ) .You can send me an mp3 or wav file for editing purposes.  Fees for editing generally range from $20-$30.00.

SONG MASTERING – $25

I can master your track to give it clarity and maximum level so it can compete with commercial recordings. I can boost or cut bass frequencies or bring out a vocal that’s getting lost in the mix etc. $20.00 per song (I can do full mix and the track-only mix). I can master just about any kind of file…mp3, wav, WMA, etc.

SONG CRITIQUING – $20

I will critique your song in these 4 areas…. lyric, melody, groove, song form. This is a good way to fix mistakes before they are cemented into a demo. I’ll make sure your melody is “singable”, your rhyme scheme is proper and basically look for any problems that might cause your song to be passed-on. A critique form will be emailed and if need be an mp3 with any melodic suggestions will be included. $20.00 per critique.
