How it Works

Take things to the next level.

This is big. Just by reading this, you are doing something amazing. You are backing yourself. And it doesn't matter where you want to end up, thats how you get there.

Lets get to know each other

Ok, you've done the hard bit and committed. Now its time to get to know one another good and proper. 

With production we're going to get up close and personal so we'll need good and open communication. You'll need to have a think about a few things, like what style or artists do you want to sound like? 

File handling

Hmmmm yes, big files going back and forth. We'll set you up your very own private dropbox so you can send and receive files to your hearts content.

Communication, expectations, and results

The key thing to remember is that communication is key to getting good results. We'll be communicating already. But the process looks something like this:

Send the demo (or two):

Wherever you have got it to so far. This could be a voice note recording or a home recorded demo in GarageBand, whatever youve got!

------------------------------

Discuss references:

We cant stress this enough, having references for things like drums ("I like these drums"), vocal sounds ("I like these Mo-town vocal sounds") or even just vibe ("the Gorillaz are really cool"). It makes things so much simpler, and we'll get to the desired result much faster.

------------------------------

Making the track:

We'll go away and make a first demo. In order to do this we'll need a guide vocal. This could be a voice note or a proper recording, just something to help us get the right bits in the right place. (to a metronome is helpful too).

Once we have a demo, we'll send it a cross and we can start tweaking things. If you dont like it we can start again, but if we've done our referencing homework well enough together it should be in the right arena from the start. 

------------------------------

Recording

Once we have the demo/instrumental, you'll need to record your lovely lead vocals and backing vocals. You dont need a pro studio to do this and most home set-ups are capable of getting a pro sound with a little direction which we can give.

Alternately, we can arrange a session vocalist although this is an additional cost.

------------------------------

Mixing

Once we've got all the bits, we'll thread it together and this is where the magic starts. If we need anything extra from you, we'll be in touch.
