Value: Musiversal provides competitive pricing for remote recording sessions with strings 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 session strings specialists may vary based on factors such as experience, expertise, and geographic location. In traditional studio settings, rates can range from $100 to $300 per hour or more, with additional fees for studio rental and production services. However, with Musiversal's subscription model, you gain access to highly talented session players, including strings specialists, at a fixed monthly rate, providing exceptional value and flexibility for your music production needs.
Before the session, you'll have had the opportunity to share your music, reference tracks and instructions, so the session strings player will have gone over your material, rehearsed and prepped for the recording. At the beginning of your remote strings recording session, you’ll join the session musician over livestream and have another opportunity to discuss your musical vision and emphasize any key preferences for the recording. Then once the recording begins, our strings players will lay down multiple takes, experimenting with different phrasings, dynamics, and expressions to find the perfect fit for your track. 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. You can expect to get 3 full takes on a 3-4 minute song in our standard 35 minute livestream session format. Highly efficient, engaging and transformative for your string needs!
Following your remote strings 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 string 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.
To ensure a successful remote strings session, it's helpful to prepare your project materials in advance. Start by providing detailed information about your project, including the title, genre, and tempo. If you have a demo or backing track, be sure to share it with the strings players, 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 maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of your remote strings recording session.
