Typically, how much do Shakers specialists cost to hire?

Hiring costs for Shakers specialists may vary based on factors such as experience, expertise, and geographic location. While Shakers players may not command as high rates as some other instruments, their unique skill set and availability can impact pricing. In traditional studio settings, a single recording session with a Shakers player can range from $40 to $100 per hour, depending on the player's credentials and the studio's rates. However, with Musiversal's subscription model, you gain access to highly talented session players, including Shakers specialists, at a fixed monthly rate, providing exceptional value and flexibility for your music production needs.

What should I expect in a remote Shakers recording session?

At the onset of your recording session, our seasoned Shakers players are primed and prepared to dive right into recording your music. After initial pleasantries and a brief discussion about the song, you have the opportunity to provide direction and outline your preferences for the Shakers recording. Typically, the Shakers player 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 Shakers players 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.

Which files will I receive after my remote recording session for Shakers?

Following your remote Shakers 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 Shakers 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.

How should I prepare for my first remote Shakers session?

Preparing for your initial remote Shakers session is straightforward. Start by providing detailed 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, 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.
