This is a quick place to reference the process of how I typically go about working on a project, and what to expect in each project phase.
If you have any questions, please let me know by sending a message on Slack!
PROJECT TIMELINE
PHASE 1:
PRE-PRODUCTION
Pre Production is where we discuss your project in depth and come up with a plan for everything from writing to how the track will sound to what we’ll need to make sure your project is exactly what you want it to be.
Here’s a quick overview of everything that we’ll do in this phase:
Vision Call
You and I will create reference playlists for your project
We’ll go over the songs you’ve written and select the songs that we’ll focus on for this project
Mockups / Scratch Demo
We will Record / Capture a scratch version of your song in the correct key, tempo and arrangement that we are thinking for the song.
Then I’ll create 1-3 basic song mockups for the songs we’ve selected
PHASE 2:
PRODUCTION
This is when we start making the song and turning your vision into reality.
The goal of this phase is to take everything we dreamed up in pre-production and set it in motion. This includes things like creating the track, recording vocals, adding in the special sauce, and getting it all ready to mix.
Recording Sessions
We will schedule the necessary session to record vocals and other crucial instruments to the tracks
Production Revisions
Once the track is in a place where it’s really taking shape I will send it off to you for notes and specfic input. we want to be has happy with the song
PHASE 3:
POST-PRODUCTION
At this point, the song is pretty much done.
We’ve put together everything and officially started mixing and mastering polishing it and making sure it’s all ready for release.
There’s not much for you to do in this phase, but it goes by quickly! Here’s a quick overview of what typically happens:
Editing
Myself or The engineer on the project will edit the song and make sure everything is as prepared as possible and then begin the mixing process
Things like Vocal Tuning and instrument timing are included in this process.
Mixing
Once the first mix is complete to the standard of the Engineer we will send it out for revision notes and feedback.
We will continue the revisions cycle until the final mix is decided on or the amount of revisions has been met and then we will send it off for mastering
Mastering
Mastering revisions (usually there aren’t any revisions at this point, but it’s included just in case!)
Sign off for release!
PHASE 4:
POST-PROJECT
Once your song is all finished, we’ll get everything ready for release!
I’ll send you another link to book a call, and we’ll cover everything from content creation to marketing strategies to release strategy and play-listing!
myself or one of my team members will also help out in this phase to make sure all the administrative things are taken care of. Here’s a quick overview of what we’ll be going over:
Release Strat Call
We’ll overview the final release prep. This includes making content about the song, going over a marketing checklist, and setting a release date and strategy
We’ll hop on a call to discuss branding, marketing, engagement, monetization, distribution and
Post-Release Review Call
After release, you and I will meet again to discuss performance, review the project, and create a plan for growth.
THAT’S IT!
