Take your music to the next level with our hand-picked team of in-house professionals
Incorporating the rich and warm tones of the viola can add depth and emotion to your music. Originating from the classical tradition, the viola offers a versatile range that bridges the gap between the brightness of the violin and the depth of the cello. Its mellow timbre lends itself well to various musical genres, from classical and folk to contemporary and experimental styles. Whether you're seeking lush harmonies, soulful melodies, or dynamic counterpoints, a session viola player can bring a unique and expressive quality to your compositions.
Opting for Musiversal's viola players offers several key advantages:
Authenticity: Our session musicians possess the expertise to play the viola authentically, capturing its nuanced tones and expressive nuances with precision.

Value: Musiversal provides competitive pricing for remote recording sessions with viola players, offering exceptional value for your music production needs. With our subscription model, you gain unlimited access to our roster of session musicians at a fixed monthly rate, allowing you to book sessions as needed without exceeding your budget.
Hiring costs for viola specialists may vary based on factors such as experience, expertise, and geographic location. In traditional studio settings, rates can range from $50 to $200 per hour, with additional fees for studio rental and production services. However, with Musiversal's subscription model, you gain access to highly talented session players, including viola specialists, at a fixed monthly rate, providing exceptional value and flexibility for your music production needs.
At the start of your session, our seasoned viola players are prepared to dive right into recording your music. After initial discussions about the song, you have the opportunity to provide any additional direction before the first take. Typically, the viola player will lay down one or more full takes 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. Remarkably efficient, our session viola players can typically deliver multiple takes within a standardized session format, ensuring exceptional quality and productivity.
Following your remote viola 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, you'll receive a session file compatible with your preferred digital audio workstation. These files offer flexibility for editing, mixing, and arranging the viola 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 viola session is straightforward. Start by providing detailed information about your project, including the title, genre, and any specific musical ideas or preferences you have. 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 and gets you the recording results you dream about.
