4. Once you've created your account or signed in, you'd be taken to the dashboard where you can create a new project. Select start a new project.
5. You'll see 3 options there and a fourth one below, as shown.
For the first package, you can create a project with a single instrument, perfect for when you have a production and you want to add one extra instrument, for instance, a violin, a steel guitar, or any other instrument on our roster
The 2nd package is the small band, which includes 3 instruments, along with mixing and mastering
The 3rd and most common is the full band. This includes 5 instruments; mixing and mastering are also included in this package.
Each of these packages will give you the options for additional addons such as lead vocals, backup vocals, and composing.
If your song doesn’t include a rough recording or sheet music, you’ll need to add Composing to your project. Your submitted recording doesn’t need to be high quality, it won't be used in the final recording, it only serves to show the musicians how the song goes. You can select 2 or 4 background vocalists. If your song is a duet, you’ll need to hire one lead vocal and 2 background vocals.
6. Below the 3 packages option there is a 4th option, create a custom package. Clicking on it will pop up this dialogue box that will allow you to create a project with exactly the instruments and services you need.
7. Once you’ve created your project you can upload your files and you'll be contacted by your project manager if you selected one. Your project manager will guide you through the process as well as help you select the musicians and vocalists for your projects.
8. After the musicians have been selected, your project manager will determine the order of the musicians to be recorded. When each musician has recorded their track, they would upload it to the sight, where you can approve it or request one free revision. To help you determine how it sounds in the context of the song, the project manager will upload a work in progress mix at the top of the page where you can here all the uploaded instruments together.
9. Once the instrument has been approved, the project manager will ask the next musician to start. In this way, your song will be built track by track. If you’ve selected the mixing and mastering option, you will receive a radio-ready high-quality mixdown of your song. You can download each instrument as well as the mix and master by right-clicking on the sound icon and saving it to your hard drive.
We are frequently asked if the songwriters can use their own vocals or instruments. While we strongly recommend using the vocalists on our roster for a cohesive feel, it is possible that those performers are using our services as a backing band. Once the music has been recorded you’ll be provided with an instrumental .wav file.
You can then record your vocals to the instrumental in your home studio or book time in your local studio. You will then email your project manager with a file of your vocals or instruments so they can be mixed into the song. While recording if you think of an additional instrument to add, you can create an add-on project.
We hope you find this blog informative. If you have any questions, please contact us through the website, we look forward to creating your next masterpiece.
