Our Process

Advantage Music Production has a unique process for creating a custom recording.  It's one that has been developed over years of working with artists, producers, session players, art directors and labels and we have yet to find a system that beats ours for streamlining the production process. 

When you contact AMP, we will open a file for you.  Once your project's requirements are determined, we generally follow the formula below.

 

Greater than three weeks ahead of proposed project start:

•  Client contacts AMP about production services.

•  AMP sends a document outlining the process.

•  Client signs AMP Music Production Contract.

•  Client provides a non-refundable 50% deposit.

•  AMP reserves studio space and musicians.

 

Not less than three weeks ahead of basic recording session:

•  AMP collaborates via phone, and email with Client to settle on songs and establish the musical arrangements.

•  AMP produces sheet music for the session.

 

One day before the basic recording session:

•  Client comes to Nashville .

•  AMP convenes a preproduction meeting with Client to review and approve the music prior to the session.

 

Day of basic recording session:

•  AMP produces the basic recording session. This will be drums, bass, keys, guitars, and if time, Client sings some lead vocal tracks.

•  Client pays additional 25% of fee at completion of basic recording session day.

 

One day after basic recording session:

•  AMP produces the overdub session with Client to finish vocal recording.

•  Client leaves Nashville. (optional)

 

Up to one week after completion of recording:

•  AMP will produce any follow up over dub sessions for other instruments as required to complete the project.

•  AMP compiles and mixes the record.

•  AMP sends reference mixes to Client for approval.

•  AMP performs revisions as mutually agreed.

•  AMP sequences the album (puts the songs in order).

 

Up to two weeks after completion of recording:

•  Client pays remaining 25% of fee (unless otherwise agreed in writing by AMP and Client).

•  AMP sends (2) CDs and session archive to Client.

•  Client makes copies (duplicating or replicating) and sells them.

•  Client expresses joy and satisfaction with the whole experience.
