Make a Vocal Demo |
||
 |
To make a vocal demo you must have a music track to sing with. An excellent resource are songs in a MIDI sequence format. We can take the MIDI sequence and make a quality sounding track using our synths, samplers and drum machines. There are many places you can find sequences but to get high quality ones try trantracks.com | |

| First you will need to mix your program. Once in the form of an audio file on hard disk, you put all the files in a specific order with appropriate spaces in between. Then you would listen through the program making leveling adjustment so the whole program is pleasurable to listen to from top to bottom. |  |
|
 |
To make your cd program comparable to other cd programs of the same genre, the engineer will set final special processing at the pre-master phase. Some programs need a very wide dynamic range while others will need little. The mastering engineer has the ability to make decisions that will fulfill your programs needs. |

Prepare to record my band |

| Example: Five song CD with 5 piece band, 1 vocal, 2 back vocal, guitar, E bass, Drums, Piano. | ||

| The most economical way to record tracks is to be satisfied with one or two different takes.
Make one pass through. Listen to it from the beginning and stop and repair any parts you're not satisfied with. When you get to the end you should have a take that passes inspection. The above is ideal but reality may throw a few wrenches in. But if you use this method, at least you won't spend up to an hour listening to each take and choosing among them. If you end up with 6-8 takes plan to spend some time to sort it all out. Remember editing is magic but the more events you edit, the more time added to the project. Think about 8 takes on each 5 instruments on 14 songs and you should get the point. |

We can provide arrangements of your composed song with little as piano and voice, MIDI sequencing to hiring a full compliment of musicians.
You will need to provide at least a recording on cassette with piano/guitar and vocal. Written music is also helpful. People who have lyrics only will need to contact a composer to write the music. |

"How much does it cost to make a CD or demo?"
|
||
|
Producing a complete CD project can vary in cost quite a bit. To accomplish a finite amount of work depends on how prepared you are. Loose ends to be decided at the studio can consume a considerable amount of time. In a CD project there are always decisions to be made that cannot be made before hand, so making the "can be decided" choices before a session will make an incredible impact on cost. An example would be the lead vocal part singer should have lyrics that are a final draft. A composer shouldn't be writing lyrics at the studio unless absolutely necessary. Another example is the client should have the session task list done before even booking the session. Going into a session without knowing what is going to happen is definitely a waste of time and resources. Having a productive conversation with the engineer with session planning in mind is the first step to a successful CD project!
