HERE’S HOW IT WORKS
-
We discuss the style / feel you are after and any specifics you require for the song along with which sample rate you desire.
-
I’ll send you MP3 updates of your recording so that you can track progress, and include the opportunity for you to make up to ‘two’ revisions before agreeing on the final recording.
-
Once you’re completely satisfied, I’ll send you the finalised audio mix, with an option to master.
