Aditional information you should know.
1. This package is for those who already have their song done. This means:
a. This song has already been released and you need a performance track to work with. It is your responsibility to provide a copy of the track to work from.
b.If the song is an original, a very basic demo should be provided. This can be someone playing and singing the song on a home tape recorder, or a recording from a live performance anything that is a reasonable representation of the song and the chord arrangements.

If all you have are words on paper, and the song needs to be arranged and brought to the point to where it can be recorded, this will be charged separately. If the client can play well enough to sit at a keyboard, or pick up a guitar, and perform the song on the spot so that an arrangement is present, then consideration will be granted.

This package is designed to give budget pricing to those who are prepared. Things to consider. Most of the instruments in the sweet single, and the sweet single enhanced packages are what are known as midi instruments. With the advent of modern sampling technology, and synthesis modeling and sound sculpting, it is possible to create very realistic and pleasing reproductions of traditional instruments such as bass guitar, drumkits, and pianos which are hard to tell from the real thing. In many cases, professional studios prefer to use these new technologies in place of traditional methods which involve complex micing, tuning, and limited application. A complete library of pianos, keyboards, and organs for example, can reside inside a computer, but how many can fit in one reasonable sized studio? Also, when a real piano, or bass is recorded, or a drumkit, it is much more difficult to alter the tuning or key, or change the characteristic of the sound. Not so with midi. With these tracks, we can offer you your song in any number of keys so a male or female singer, alto or tennor, etc can perform them in they're comfortable singing ranges. It is also very easy to change the speed or tempo of a track when it is in midi form.

Note: if you plan to add vocals, or real guitars, or any other instrument which requires micing, you should decide on the key you want your tracks in before these are added. It is possible to change the pitch and tempo of a song with real miced instruments, but the results can be unpredictable and not as pleasing. So keep this in mind if you choose acoustic guitar as one of your options.
