Audio Mechanics

———————————————————————————————————–

We can create custom songs for end credits from as little as a quick phone consultation, but if syncing to a particular scene is desired, visual references will always allow the tightest fit possible.  These can be rough cuts at first, but we encourage offering fine references when possible for our creative team and technicians to achieve the best possible sync for you.  You may be amazed at how well all the music, including songs, will fit the scenes you need to fill dynamically using our unique customly synced songwriting in tandem with, and following a similar process to, creating the score.

———————————————————————————————————–

Absolutely.   With as little as a quick synopsis of a scene to be filled, character descriptions, and a little relevant backstory, we can create for you a custom song that will match desired mood and story content, with a fast turnaround through production and smooth, easy licensing.  When you really need a hard-to-find sync placement to fill a unique, difficult-to-fill scene quickly, we can deliver!

———————————————————————————————————–

We can work from references with temp track already in place, if this is desired, to inform our work as to the kind of music you are looking for while maintaining pure originality.   Along with our spotting sessions, this can be a highly efficient way to communicate a host of variables you are looking for musically and thematically.  With this new customization process, the chances of getting just the right match to your scenes this way, resulting in totally original songs that fit your desired emotive style while also including relevant content, are actually excellent!

———————————————————————————————————–

After a meeting to determine desired music services; lay out the style and tone, emotive palette and story content to be matched for each scene; and to have the opportunity to take detailed cue timing notes, our custom creative music is best achieved with a visual reference to fill.  The results can be very impressive, allowing the songs, as well as the complementary score, to dramatically enhance the story narrative and emotional impact of each and every scene.  Obviously, in scoring, using the reference is usually necessary and music is normally custom tailored to the ebbs and flows of scene exposition and character arcs; in this new integrated process our custom songwriters can also create and match songs creatively to the scenes, and even blend songs seamlessly with the co-evolving score.  This can result in an exceptional overall cohesiveness to the project and striking thematic integrity.

We encourage, in addition to an initial meeting in which detailed spotting notes can be created for the songwriters and/or scoring composer, periodic communication to track and help guide progress as your custom syncs are created.

———————————————————————————————————–

Of course.  We are uniquely able to offer a wide range of custom music, by the song or even by the cue (vocal and/or musical), to the soundtrack and score for an entire film or show including composing the score and writing complementary songs featuring a variety of compatible artists and fast, easy clearance.  Coordination with the composer can produce the highest level of artistic integration for the soundtrack.  We understand that composers are already often on board and in process when our songwriting services are needed.  Our songwriting is truly custom and is meant to fit your needs.  We can write songs either during production or in post-production to fit the time constraints, budget, and desired artistic process of your particular project.

———————————————————————————————————–

One of the most rewarding aspects of custom songwriting is the opportunity to work with amazing vocalists, bands, and musicians.  We want to fulfill the vision for your production, and will specifically write a song or an entire soundtrack for particular artist(s) or band(s) to perform.  Although we retain the copyrights for the songs written by our songwriters, the artist/band will be able to use our songs in their repertoire, on albums, on tour, etc. and licensing is very easy and fast.  Recording production and sound engineering can be handled by us or outside, it will depend on your needs and budget, and the way your desired artist chooses to work with our songs.  Our team is very sensitive to technical nuances of vocal artistry and will tailor songs to the special vocal style of the artist(s) with whom you choose to work.

———————————————————————————————————–

Actually, we want to support you in being able to do all the parts of your work you really love and reduce the tedious hassles.  If we can help streamline the process for syncing in a timely and professional manner for many of your placements, this can definitely create the time and space for you to find and fill others in more relaxed and inspiring ways.  And we hope you will enjoy creatively guiding the synthesis of custom and elegant solutions for previously difficult to find placements.

Although this is a revolutionary way to look at syncing, such a gentle revolution should be supportive and enhancing of all creative energies involved.  We firmly believe that once you experience a perfectly matched sync, created specifically for the rhythm, feeling, and storyline of a particular scene; with hits, ins and outs, desired musical thematic mirroring of dramatic arcs, character motifs and situation specific themes that can be mirrored in both score AND songs; and our finely tuned, sensitively rendered final syncing; you will never want to work any other way!   But you will surely have more time, and less frustration, in order to perform all the creative aspects of the musical magic you do, with the confidence of reliable support when needed.  Explore for the thrill of new discovery while enjoying the reduced stress and increased excitement of personally nurturing and helping to guide creative custom music, and be able to meet the unique needs of each scene and project with balance and inspiration.

———————————————————————————————————-

We work with many of the most talented vocalists and musicians in the industry, well-established leading presences as well as exciting emerging new talent.  Depending on the budget for your project, you may be able to have the best of all possible worlds: heavy-hitting stars or debuting stars-in-the-making singing original songs that have been carefully, thoughtfully crafted specifically for your project in style and content.  The level of cohesiveness of songs that are all coordinated for artistic integrity performed by artists who fit with your conceptual creative vision can often lead to a higher level of success in distribution and marketing of your soundtrack.  And the added bonus: our library and legal team for music rights clearance, even for our songs that are sung by the hottest artists, is in-house, making licensing affordable and relatively quick and simple.

———————————————————————————————————-

Licensing is very streamlined, because there is no searching and waiting for clearance from various sources.  We are unique in that we are a collective of creative and technical talent, and we are also the publishing music library.  As such we retain the copyrights for the songs we create for every project.  The unique structure of our music group also being a talent collective and technical team makes the convenient licensing process very straightforward, and usually takes days instead of the typical months!

Occasionally, we offer cover songs sung in very unique arrangements by new artists. In these instances, licensing can take a little bit longer as clearance must be obtained from the music library holding the rights to the original song.  But the good news is that if we are producing the cover, we handle the copyright clearance and licensing for you, so the process is just as easy.

———————————————————————————————————-

Definitely.  Our creative custom music process offers the most satisfaction when we can save you considerable time, effort, and money while offering the complete service of a sync placement from inception of an idea through recording production and final sound editing right up to professional synchronization to your fine reference.

You will find our Full Service Packages can definitely save a lot of the headaches of coordinating many houses to perform all these services, and can help keep you on schedule and on budget as well.  Talk to us today and let us help you explore our exciting Creative Services Menu and all the options available to you for Custom Fine Tuning!
