Think your song is good, but it needs another guitar or keyboard part or percussion part to really make it great? Or maybe you need some backing vocals added? Crazy Daisy Productions offers track addition services to help you make your song the way you want it to be. Just send in your best mixdown of your current song, as you would for mastering, and include some notes describing what part or parts you would like to have added or what kind of extra sound you're hoping to get. We'll utilize pre-recorded material and/or bring in the appropriate studio musician(s), recording some extra material, and mix it into your song for you. Then we'll present you with your new song, occassionally one or two versions, if neeeded, for you to audition to see if the new parts added what you were hoping to achieve.
Or, perhaps you have the parts already recorded and mixed into your song, but they didn't turn out as well as you hoped or just didn't quite have the professional feeling you were going for. Maybe you want a midi guitar part you recorded played by a studio musician with an acoustic guitar or perhaps have your drum sample loop track replaced by live drums. We also offer track replacement services to help you. Just send in 2 stereo mixdown versions of your song: one with all your parts mixed the best you can get it, and one with the parts removed that you'd like us to replace. We'll utilize pre-recorded material and/or bring in the appropriate studio musician(s) to replace your part with an either identical or very similar version, but with attention given to whatever element was missing from the original that would be needed to give it that professional "finished" feeling. We can replace almost any instrumental part and many backing vocal parts, too.
Rates for track addition or track replacement start at $50/hr on up for performance costs, depending on the nature of the track being added or replaced. Mixing is generally recommended as well so we can assist you with inserting the replaced/added parts in a cohesive manner. The amount of time required for performance and mixing together depends on the complexity of the part(s) and is determined on a case-by-case basis. If you would like to inquire about track addition or replacement, please call us at 541-517-1458 or email us at sales@crazymastering.com to discuss the details of your project and obtain a price and timeline estimate.
