HOW IT WORKS
Step 1
Email your song to Paul (work tape, demo or any files you have) as well as the tempo and any notes on the feel, references, or groove direction you’d like. Be sure to send parts to Paul that have been recorded to a click and are in time with the provided tempo.
Step 2
Paul will discuss the arrangement and drum sounds with you to firm up a game plan before hitting record.
Step 3
Paul will track drums (and any requested perc/overdubs) in his private studio with world class mics and pre amps. Once recorded you will receive a reference track for approval.
Step 4
Send notes or approval to Paul once you are happy with the part. Paul will then do an edit and upload the files to Dropbox.
Step 5
Once the invoice is paid you’ll receive multitrack drum files that drop straight into your session—ready to mix and shape however you need.
As standard this includes minimally processed files however Paul can deliver mixed multitrack drum files if requested for an additional fee.
