• You start by filling out the "Getting Started" form and submitting it to me. I will review your project and get back to you via email within 6-24 hours.
  • Once all of the particulars of your project are agreed upon, you simply upload or email me an MP3 of your song. Here's what your MP3 must contain...
  1. I need click track only on one stereo side and your rough mix on the other stereo side.
  2. I'm going to play to the click, so it is essential that your tracks be tight with the click in order for the song to groove.
  3. I prefer a hi hat used for the click. So if you have a choice, please make it hi hat.
  • Upon receiving payment (see "Rates" to make payments via PayPal),  I go to work on your project. Dependent upon the time frame that we  have  agreed upon, I will listen to and study your song before I dive into recording. If you have a chart of some sort it will save me the time of charting it, and will greatly expedite the project.
  • Once I have recorded the song to my satisfaction, I will upload or email it to you for your approval. I allow for a maximum of two modifications.
  • Upon your approval I upload or mail you a CD of the work I have performed. Here's what you will receive from me (in the sample rate, bit depth and file type of your choice) 
  1. Raw tracks of your project. In the case of programmed drums, this will include individual tracks of each instrument used. In the case of live session drums, these will be unprocessed tracks of bass drum, snare drum, hihat, tom 1, tom 2, tom 3, overhead mic left and overhead mic right. If you are accustomed to programming midi drums and drum samples, you may be surprised by what these tracks sound like. There is much done in the mixing and processing stage to give the live drums that professional studio sound. If you have the expertise and the high-end outboard gear or plug-ins, you may choose to mix the raw tracks yourself. But if not...
  2. I also include a stereo mix. At Studio 2b we use the high-end stuff to give you a stereo mix that will give your song that session sound. For live drums, in most cases, this will give you your best results .
