Hiring costs for piano 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 piano player can range from $100 to $300 per hour or more, depending on the musician's credentials and studio facilities. However, with Musiversal's subscription model, you gain access to highly talented session players, including piano specialists, at a fixed monthly rate, providing exceptional value and flexibility for your music production needs.

At the start of your session, our seasoned piano players will be ready to dive right into recording. After initial pleasantries and a brief discussion about your song, you have the opportunity to provide direction and outline your preferences for the piano recording. Typically, the pianist will lay down one full take of the song, ensuring it aligns with your vision. Following this, 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 pianists can typically deliver 3-4 full takes on a 4-minute song within our standardized 35-minute session format, including punch-ins and overdubs. This level of productivity, coupled with exceptional quality, consistently impresses both our new and loyal subscribers alike.

Following your remote piano recording session, you'll receive high-quality 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 piano 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 piano session is straightforward. Start by providing information about your project, including the title, genre, and any specific musical ideas or preferences you have. If available, share a demo or backing track to provide context for the recording process. While not essential, providing a chord chart or lead sheet, or score along with any reference tracks or musical examples, can help convey your creative vision to the session musician. With clear communication and preparation, you can ensure a smooth and productive recording experience that aligns with your musical goals.
