FAQ
How is pricing decided?+
Quoted per project, based on length, number of songs, and specs (tempo changes, etc.). Attach a demo when you reach out and I can give a ballpark. Quotes are free.
What files do I send?+
A guide 2-mix (WAV / mp3) and tempo info (BPM or a tempo map) are enough to record. Drum MIDI or charts make the reproduction more precise.
Do I need a click or guide?+
If the tempo is steady, just tell me the BPM. For odd meters or tempo changes, please provide a tempo map (I can help make one).
Revisions?+
One re-recording. Direction is aligned with a check take before the full take, so big surprises are rare.
How far does the mixing go?+
Phase alignment plus a rough balance. Final mixing stays on your side; the stems arrive ready to use.
What about rights?+
The recorded performance is yours to use and release as part of your song. I ask for a credit (Drums: Takefuji Drums). Details settled when we talk.
