What I need:  

- project setting sample rate (44.1 or 48?) 

- sheet music, unless agreed otherwise 

- deadline

- agreement details (this concerns royalties and use of the recording)

- please note that improvised parts can be subject to writing credit (notated or audio sample of part is encouraged to avoid any confusion!).

I work in Logic Pro X, but audio can be exported as WAVs as per client's needs. (a small admin fee of £15 applies to non Logic Pro X exports)

 Basic fee (when sheet music is provided): £90 for the first hour of recording time;  every extra hour is at + £70 extra. 

When recording for multiple tracks, a bundle offer can be made. 

Please e-mail with details of your project for the most accurate quote. The quote will depend on:

- the deadline 

- whether music/part is notated or not 

- whether the part needs to be improvised (i.e. if there is no audio guide)

- how many hours of recording time will be needed to record the material  

I find that a notated part is the most efficient way of communicating your ideas to the performer - especially with more busy, fast material. It helps to communicate all the details that you want to be present and for the performer to interpret. There are many different ways of playing the same passage on any given instrument - hence it's good to supply as much guidance as possible!

Performer retains PPL rights, (Performance Royalties) unless a buyout fee or alternative agreement is offered (especially for sound libraries). Please aim to provide a BPI Session Agreement for every project you wish to book recording for.

preparation fee* if the track is sent prior to the session and the
