Dope. I could have used this in my day... However it is much needed now. I get sick when I see people selling music for $25, $99 or some other amount that would put food on the table.
If you're a good musician and you give the producer a little flexibility, it should be free :P
Otherwise, it should cost $290: https://medium.com/cuepoint/how-...
@thatguybg Even the greatest musicians work with professional producers. (ex. The Beatles and George Martin). I think you'll find a very small minority of commercial releases that don't have at least another producer and engineer's name attached to them. I won't tell them you suggested they work for free. :) Most musicians have spent years honing their craft of songwriting and performing, and it makes sense they work with others who have spent years honing the craft of production and audio engineering to make them shine.
I love your story of working working with remote professionals via a marketplace. That's the future.
Hi Shachar, as I'm producing my first song, some of the later questions have me curious - what are the pros and cons for, say, using a mastering specialist?
@fotoflo Mastering adds the final sonic touch on a mixed song. The last 5% of sonic adjustment - bass, treble, clarity, loudness, wideness. Mastering makes less of a difference on the overall sound of your song than mixing, but is nonetheless important as a finishing touch.
Some mixing engineers have experience mastering as well. In lower budget productions this is not uncommon. For higher aiming productions usually a specialist mastering engineers is hired, both for expertise and a fresh pair of ears. The con - just a bit more expensive, about $150 additional per song to hire a mastering engineer.
Good luck with your release!
