Hiring costs for session percussionists can vary depending on factors such as experience, expertise, and geographic location. In traditional studio settings, rates can range from $50 to $200 per hour or more, depending on the percussionist's skill level and the complexity of the recording project. However, with Musiversal's subscription model, you gain unlimited access to talented percussionists at a fixed monthly rate, providing exceptional value and flexibility for your music production needs.
Before your remote percussion recording session, you'll have had the opportunity to share reference tracks, discuss the overall vibe of the song, and provide any specific instructions or ideas you have in mind for the percussion arrangement. Then at the start of the session, our percussionists will come prepared and ready to hit record! Once the recording process begins, our percussionists will lay down a full first take, to see if it aligns with your vision/ expectations for your project. Throughout the session, you'll have the opportunity to provide feedback and direction, ensuring that the final recordings meet your expectations and complement your music seamlessly. Our percussionists can typically deliver 3-4 full takes on a 4-minute song within our standard 35-minute livestream session format, providing efficient and productive results.
Following your remote percussion recording session, you'll receive high-quality audio files containing all recorded takes, as well as individual stem files captured from each microphone used in the session. These files, delivered in WAV format, provide you with the flexibility to mix, edit, and customize the percussion tracks to suit your specific needs. Additionally, if you require any further assistance with tasks such as comping, tuning, or editing, our team is available to provide professional support and guidance as part of the Musiversal Unlimited subscription.
To ensure a successful remote percussion session, it's helpful to prepare your project materials in advance. Start by providing detailed information about your song, including the title, genre, and tempo. If you have a demo or backing track, be sure to share it with the percussionist, as it will serve as a reference during the recording process. Additionally, consider providing any written instructions or musical notation that may help convey your creative vision. With clear communication and thorough preparation, you can get the most out of the percussionist and have an amazing experience!
