Live Instruments Recording is not included in the above prices, but can be added for around $1000-3500 per minute of music. Price is highly dependent on the instruments used, the specific players needed, and how much time is needed to record. If live instruments are desired, a free quote can be generated in the first weeks of the project after the composer has watched the visuals and had a conversation with the director about what kind of music is desired. (Video recording of live orchestra sessions can be added for $390 per day of filming).
Singers and Lyricists other than the composer are not included in these prices, but can be added. The prices for these are highly variable, and are usually more dependent on the fame of the artist rather than their ability. If you’re interested in a singer or lyricist that fits your budget, we can help you find one in most languages and styles.
There are no other fees besides these when using our Standard Licensing Agreement. All writing, production, mixing, studio and delivery costs are included.
