Brand New Song / Music
- Send me either the lyrics you have or the idea for the song.
- Tell me what style you would like.
- I will create a sample of the project for you to hear (If it's a standard song, I'll provide a bit of the verse and chorus) . You can approve it or suggest changes. This is where you'll decide if I'm the right person for your project. (See FAQ "Can you do ANY style of music?" for more details about fitting the writer with the project.)
- After you decide that I can do your project, you can let me know if you want sheet music that others can play or if you want me to record a back-up track for someone to sing to. If you want me to record, we'll have to discuss what instruments you'd like and some other details. See the pricing for recording for an idea of what it might cost. Since your recording is part of a larger project your final cost will be about 25% lower.
- I will take all of the information we discussed and set a price for the project. Don't get nervous here. The price should make you happy. But, please remember, you're not just ordering a karaoke track from I-tunes.
- Once you accept the price, I'll need a deposit of 50% of the total.
- After the project is complete, I'll let you hear and/or see a finished version. This will be controlled; you won't be able to record or copy the finished project.
- You may request minor changes at this point for no additional charge. Anything that would take a lot of time (more than an hour) would have to have an additional charge. (For example, if you wanted the whole song changed from 3/4 to 4/4 or used different instruments in the recording.)
- When you approve the project, I'll need the balance of the cost. Then I will deliver the project to you in a mutually acceptable form (e-mail, snail mail, paper, CD, flash drive, etc.)
