* Will everyone be able to hear the music?

95% of browsers accept Flash (v4). With Flash there are no browser conflicts or inconvenient plugin popups prompting the viewer to download a plugin before the music can be heard.

* Why do I need a professional music production service?

Nothing compares with professionally composed music specifically designed for your project.

* How do you work? What’s your process like?

Your input and feedback are essential to the creative process. At first a brainstorming session must occur between the client and myself. If the client already knows what style of music they are looking for, then the next step is to come up with some potential ideas which would include possible instrumentation, melodic ideas, tempo, mood, and even structure. You will be informed with regular updates which will include dialogue, some rough sketchs of melodies in MIDI format for your review and final selection before the final mix is produced.

* In what format(s) do you deliver the final recording?

The final recording will be in cd, wave, SWF , or mp3 format.

* Can you accommodate special requests?

Whatever style of music you need we can provide it. Please note that requests which involve arranging music still in copyright will be rejected.

* How long does it take to finish a music production?

It will vary according to the project. A simple minute long jingle could take six hours, while a score for a full length feature film might take anyware from 1-6 months. The final result and quality of the music will depend on the time constraints and budget.

* Where do you record?

We have the latest technology and software to produce high quality music in our studio. Our Digital Audio Workstation uses Steinberg's Cubase VST and SE MIDI/Audio sequencing software. We use sampled instruments, which are actual digital recordings of live instruments that are manipulated through the Musical Instrument Digital Interface. With a pallete of every orchestral instrument from Garritan, we realize music that is expressive, realistic, and dynamic.

* What happens if I’m not happy with your production?

Not happy with the result, we will work from your feedback to create a mutually satisfactory solution. During this process you will have the option to have the work revised up to three times.

* Who owns the copyright to the music? Who owns the copyright to the instrumental and the music recording?

Our music is royalty-free, but this does not mean copyright free. We retain copyright on all music and recordings. We offer royalty-free music which is restricted to use on the web, unless otherwise agreed. This means it could be used on a website, flash presentation, or any other type of internet based media. This license is restricted to a single domain at one time.

* Do you require credit?

Yes, we require credit in the form of a link for websites and to be listed in the credits for any other project.

* What extra charges do you have?

The cost of postage for cd of the final mix, if required.

* How can I pay?

Payment can be received through PayPal which accepts all major credit cards and switch or if you are based in the UK I accept checks. Please make the check payable to Stewart Maclennan and post to the address below.
