Frequently Asked Questions For Recording Sessions
Take a look at the FAQ or reach out anytime.
-
You will send me two files:
The track without drums, and a separate reference drum track (if available).
The song tempo must be included in the file name. Ideally, the track should be recorded with a click.
-
I will send you a download link with the drum multitracks, along with a technical sheet detailing which microphones, preamps and processing were used on each track.
-
Yes, that is included in the quote.
The performance can also be delivered without quantization upon request.
-
No, mixing is not included in the drum recording budget.
If you want the drums mixed, it will require an additional fee.
-
One revision is included.
Additional revisions will be quoted separately, per revision.
While recording, I usually send a video or audio message so you can hear how it’s shaping up and give feedback before I deliver the final tracks.
