What to Send
The better your reference material, the better the result. Here's exactly what Nick needs to start.
- A rough mix or reference track with your instruments

- Tempo, time signature, and song structure notes
- Any feel or dynamic references you want to match
- Genre, tone, and intensity notes
Revisions & Delivery
Every package includes revision rounds. A revision means adjusting feel, dynamics, or specific parts — not a full re-record. Re-records for significant scope changes may be quoted separately.
Files are delivered as dry .wav stems at your project's sample rate. Standard delivery is via Google Drive or WeTransfer. Turnaround time depends on the package — single songs are typically 3–5 business days.
Nick does not hand back files until you're satisfied within the revision scope. Communication is direct — no middlemen.
