to listen to an example of this.First off, let me say that my business is based on trust.
All it takes is a phone call asking me to do a custom track for you and I get started on it. I have never asked for a deposit or payment up front and I never will. Having said that, I do expect payment as soon as you receive your music. I know school P.O.s take a little time and that is fine. I have only been stiffed 3 times in 10 years, so I can't complain.
Pageant Tracks are $110.00. Sorry. I've had to increase my price. First time in 7 years.
Extensive arrangements and orchestrations involving many changes and redos will be a slightly higher price.
Some songs (rarely) require me to hire other musicians. Most often this involves a guitar player (I use Jim Wallis. A fantastic guitarist who has toured with several big-name bands and has also been a studio session guitarist in Nashville as well as many local studios; check out the guitar demo clips on the Sound Samples page). There is an upcharge for this which I always discuss with you in advance.
On large projects that include many songs, I usually charge $30.00 per song minute. Therefore, 30 minutes of music would cost $900.00.
Notation/Printed Music. I can do a printout (sheet music) for that vocal audition, flute solo, etc. when you need it. I can notate a playable piano part with vocal line, choral music, solo instrument, whatever you may need. This is quoted on a per-project basis, since all needs are different. Usually, a vocal line with piano accompaniment (2 minute song) would run you about $80.00. It is very time consuming and tedious to make piano music look and play "musically correct". I am a pianist, not just some computer geek, so I know what the final product is supposed to look like. I use professional software for a beautiful looking piece of music. Click for an example. (BTW, I really am a computer geek)
Digital edits and Cheernastics mixes are difficult to lump into a price range because some are very time consuming, but I mostly charge $15.00 per edit with a $30.00 minimum. Some cheernastics mixes will have 6 or 7 edits in one routine but I adjust the price according to the difficulty of the edits. For example, a 5 cut Cheerleading competition routine would cost you about $50.00, rather than $75.00 (5 x $15.00).
Multi-track recording
is done on a per-job basis. I don't charge by the hour. I'm pretty picky on
what I will and will not record. I refer most requests to Sound of
Birmingham. Call or
visit Sound
Of Birmingham Recording Studios to record groups. A typical acoustic
guitar (stereo miked) and solo vocal recording would usually
cost $150.00. Click

Please don't hesitate to call or e-mail me if you have questions or circumstances that you would like to discuss.
