Rhythm Section - $1500
This service covers your standard rhythm section for one song—the essential "meat and potatoes" of your track. We will deliver a rough mix along with individual stems for each instrument. You tell us what you are looking for, we chart it, play it, and send you the multitracks.
Includes: Drums, Bass, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Keys, Studio, and Engineer.
Scaled-Down Acoustic Production - $750
Not every song needs a full band to bring it to life, and sometimes budgets simply can’t support a full-scale production. By starting with a well-tracked acoustic guitar part, we can build around it with subtle embellishments, whether it be keys, a cello, or any combination of melodic and textural instruments. Add your vocals, and you'll have a beautiful, polished track you can be proud of. Includes: Charting and Production.
(add $250 for a scaled-down acoustic mix)
Guitar Services - $200
If your song needs acoustic guitar, electric guitar, or both, we have you covered. Guitar sessions are $200 for acoustic or electric, or $250 for both on the same song. It all starts with the part and approach. Sonically, all recorded on vintage gear with real instruments moving air into real microphones.
Instruments À La Carte - $200
Sometimes all a song needs is the right player in the right spot. Whether you’re looking for Drums, Bass, B3 organ, or Piano, you can hire individual musicians a la carte for $200 per player. We’ll help match your song with the right musician for the job. We have a pretty vast roster even beyond who’s listed on our A-List.
Mixing Services - $600
We will match you with one of our engineers who is the best stylistic fit for your song. If strings or horns are involved, this number might go up a bit. The turnaround time is usually seven business days or less.
Mastering Services - $150
Once your mix is approved, we will send it off for mastering. The turnaround time is usually five to seven business days.
Utility Instruments - $100-$300
If your song needs Violin, Pedal Steel, Mandolin, Dobro, or BGVs—we have you covered. Our team and talent pool here in Nashville is quite deep. Certain musicians match certain styles and we do our best to match your song with the perfect fit. This pricing varies a bit depending on which instrument(s) but reach out and we can get you an accurate quote
Real String Section - $500-$1,000
Nothing brings a song to life like a real string section. We can arrange it, record it, and send it straight to your inbox. We can work with you to sculpt the vision and dynamic arc of your arrangement so the strings hit with maximum emotional impact.
Vocal Tuning - $150
Our goal is to make your vocal sound as natural as possible. We aim for a smooth, organic vocal with no artifacts. We meticulously examine every single note sung and provide it with the appropriate amount of tuning. The vocal is paramount, and we give it the time it deserves—the one-click sterile AI treatment isn’t in our vocabulary.
