So why remix? Because different DJs and different radio DJs need different formats and a different sound of your song for their market. Remixing allows both the creative freedom to change the format/arrangement, and the overall sound to get the attention of the professional DJs and – in the end – the audience. For the purposes of our remixing project, we’re concerned with radio or nightclub play[/vc_column_text][trx_title type=”2″ font_size=”2em” top=”small”]Who is the copyright and master recording owner of the new remix?[/trx_title][vc_column_text]Unless negotiated otherwise, you keep all of your copyright rights, and you will own 100% of the new master recording so you can collect via SoundExchange and performing rights organizations.[/vc_column_text][trx_title type=”3″ font_size=”2em” top=”small”]How long does it take to remix?[/trx_title][vc_column_text]It usually takes about 3 weeks to complete the process, however each project is different. We’ll discuss your timeline when you begin your project and a rush option is available.[/vc_column_text][trx_title type=”3″ font_size=”2em” top=”small”]What do I get back?[/trx_title][vc_column_text]Depending on the package you selected, you will get the following:

– the link to your original song
– a reference(s) to your favorite remixes[/vc_column_text][trx_title type=”3″ font_size=”2em” top=”small”]Why hire/pay you?[/trx_title][vc_column_text]I have been producing commercial music for the past ten years, and if big brand names such as Motorola or Kodak can trust me, so can you. Not to mention the credibility through my industry peers, record labels, and the agencies I’ve worked with in the past – just google my name.
I deliver on time, and work with your release schedule. A few rounds of edits are expected. By working with me you’ll avoid the flakiness factor of working with remixers who will do it for free – but will they deliver on the promise, and when you need it? What will you do when it’s the 11th hour and the mix sounds off or you can’t even get hold of them?[/vc_column_text][trx_title type=”3″ font_size=”2em” top=”small”]What kind of equipment do you use?[/trx_title][vc_column_text]I use a hybrid of digital software and high-end analog hardware to get the right sound. I will selectively choose the right combination for your vocals and instruments to make it sound its best.[/vc_column_text][trx_title type=”3″ font_size=”2em” top=”small”]Can I get a remix demo?[/trx_title][vc_column_text]YES! If you’ve never worked with me, I can provide you with a FREE 30 second demo before making any payments[/vc_column_text][trx_title type=”3″ font_size=”2em” top=”small”]How do I prepare and deliver my music?[/trx_title][vc_column_text]Record/bounce your song in interleaved 24bit and 44khz or higher (use native rate you work on), no dither or normalize. I will typically need only the individual stems for your vocals (lead, double, background, adlibs) plus your acoustic instrumentation. I will typically not need your drums. Please make sure that all of the stems begin and end at the same point. You can then deliver them as a single zip archive via any popular file transfer platform such as WeTranfer.com, hightail.com, or any other.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][trx_form style=”form_2″ return_page=”none” title=”Get In Touch” top=”large”][/trx_form][/vc_column][/vc_row]
