Hiring costs for pedal steel specialists may vary depending on factors such as experience, expertise, and geographic location. In traditional studio settings, rates for a single recording session with a pedal steel player can range from $100 to $500 per hour or more, depending on the complexity of the project and the level of customization required. In major hubs like Nashville, just one tracking session can cost you way north of $1,000 per song.

Our seasoned session pedal steel players will be primed and prepared to dive right into recording your music from the very start of the session. After initial pleasantries and a brief discussion about the song, you have the opportunity to provide direction and outline your preferences for the recording. Typically, the pedal steel player will lay down one full take of the song, ensuring it aligns with your vision. Then, you're encouraged to offer feedback and request adjustments to tailor the recording to your liking. There's room for spontaneity too; you might discover unexpected elements that resonate with you, prompting a creative shift in the session. Remarkably efficient, our session pedal steel players can typically deliver 3-4 full takes on a 4-minute song within our standardized 35-minute session format, including punch-ins. This level of productivity, coupled with exceptional quality, consistently impresses our subscribers.

‍

Following your remote pedal steel recording session, you'll receive high-fidelity audio files of the recorded tracks in WAV format. Additionally, if you select the DAW Session file option at the time of booking, you'll receive a session file compatible with your preferred digital audio workstation. These files offer flexibility for editing, mixing, and arranging the pedal steel tracks according to your artistic preferences. Moreover, if you require assistance with post-production tasks such as editing, mixing, or mastering, Musiversal provides a team of experienced audio engineers who can deliver professional-quality services to enhance your recordings further.

Preparing for your initial remote pedal steel session is straightforward. Start by providing detailed information about your project, including the title, genre, and any specific musical ideas or preferences you have.
