Question 1

What exactly does David offer, as a music producer?

Accepted Answer

Every artist and song is different, but here’s what you can expect if we work together:

• Instrumentation & Arrangement – I create the full instrumental backing track: plotting out the structure, writing/arranging the parts, and shaping the sonic world of the song. Sometimes I’ll play the instruments myself, other times I’ll program them using synths, VSTs, or samples, and when needed I’ll bring in session musicians and direct their contributions. Sometimes the artist will want to record an instrumental part. 
 • Vocal Process – You’ll record your own vocals (at home or in a local studio), but once you send me the raw files, I’ll handle everything else: comping takes, editing timing, tuning, and arranging background vocals (whether they’re sung by you, me, or other vocalists I bring in).
 • Production & Creative Direction – I act as your collaborator and second set of ears, making sure the track evolves into the strongest possible version of what you envisioned — or even something you didn’t know you wanted until you hear it.
 • Mixing & Mastering – I finalize the track so it’s polished, balanced, and ready for streaming, sync licensing, or release. If you’d prefer to outsource mixing/mastering to a specialist, I can also facilitate that.

At its core, my role is to take your song idea and build the entire musical world around it — from the first demo sketch to the final mastered track.

Question 2

What does the production process look like?

Accepted Answer

Step 1: You Send a Demo
• Just a voice memo or rough demo is perfect. I’ll listen and see if it’s a good creative match.

Step 2: We Chat
• We’ll hop on a call to discuss your vision, goals, taste, timeline, and budget. If we’re aligned, I’ll send over a production agreement and get rolling.

Step 3: I Build a Sample
• I’ll put together a production sketch — a 60–90 second sample of your track with temporary vocals or instrumentation. This is the sandbox phase: we can explore big ideas before locking anything in.

Step 4: You Give the Green Light
• Once you’re excited about the direction and we’re both aligned, I’ll build out the full track. You’ll record vocals remotely (with guidance from me), and I’ll handle the rest.

Step 5: Final Mix & Master
• I’ll handle the mix and master (or loop in collaborators if needed) and deliver a release-ready song.

Question 3

What does it cost to work together?

Accepted Answer

I only take on a couple of projects at a time, and I’m selective about where I put my energy. If I connect with your song and feel like I’m the right fit to bring it to life, I offer a few flexible pricing and ownership options. These tiers account for how much of the master recording you’d like to retain and are designed to meet a range of budgets without compromising quality.

We’ll talk details after I’ve heard your demo and we’ve had a chance to chat about your vision. My rates are competitive, but I care more about creative chemistry than maximizing income from every project.
