Cello session recording

What I do

I will discuss with you (via email or Skype) what you would like from the cello line. As a film composer I am used to working with directors and producers, and I know that time spent communicating before recording is truly time saved. I know what questions to ask to make sure that what I end up recording is something you’ll be happy with. I know that producers and composers often have tight schedules, so I am often able to turn around a recording within a day or so if necessary.

After the fee and timescale has been agreed, you will be invoiced for 50% of the total fee.

Once the recordings have been made they will be sent to you in mp3 format, both as stems and as part of your mix.

If necessary up to three small revisions can be made, which must be requested within four days of receiving the recordings. These revisions are included in the original price, and any further revisions will be made following agreement on an updated fee.

Once you are happy with the recordings, you will be sent all the stems in your preferred uncompressed format, and an invoice for the final 50% of the fee.
