Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical music production project take?
Project timelines vary significantly based on scope and complexity. A single song typically takes 2-4 weeks from start to finish, while a full album might require 3-6 months. During our initial consultation, we'll provide a more accurate timeline based on your specific project requirements.
Do I need to have completed songs before working with you?
Not at all. We can help at any stage of the creative process. Some clients come to us with just a melody or lyrical concept, while others have fully formed demos. Our songwriting and production services can accommodate any starting point.
Who owns the rights to the music we create together?
Rights arrangements are clearly outlined in our service agreements and can be tailored to your preferences. Typically, artists retain ownership of their master recordings, while songwriting rights are allocated based on contribution. We offer various options for rights management and are happy to discuss what works best for your situation.
Can you help with distribution and promotion after production is complete?
Yes, we offer guidance on release strategy and can connect you with trusted partners for distribution, PR, and marketing. While our core focus is on production, we understand the importance of what happens after the music is created and can provide valuable direction or direct support depending on your needs.
I'm not based in the UK. Can we still work together?
Absolutely! We work with artists from around the world. For remote collaborations, we use a secure file-sharing system and conduct meetings via video conference. While in-person sessions offer certain advantages, our remote workflow is highly efficient and has produced excellent results for international clients.
