Frequently asked questions

 

How Much Does It Cost?
Rates: $150 for one song, $125 per song for two songs, $100 per song for three or more songs.  Rates include one redo per song.

How Do I Get Started? 
Start by emailing us an mp3 file with a click-track panned to the left channel and all of your music panned to the right.  The click should start two bars before the tune starts.  Make sure you include song notes in the email.  You can get as specific as you'd like or let Sean do what he does.  Send email to only1take@gmail.com (see Contact page). 

 

 
 

What Happens After I Send My mp3?
Sean will carefully review your song and notes , then record your drum tracks in his ProTools studio.  We will email you a reference mp3 that includes his drums.  Give it a listen.  Send an email letting us know if you approve, or if not, what changes you would like.  Upon your approval, you will receive a PayPal invoice.  When payment is received, we’ll send you a link to download your new drum tracks! 

What are the File Formats for the Drum Tracks? 
All drum tracks are available in WAV format in either 44.1k/16bit or 48k/24bit.  All files start at “zero position” and are consolidated, i.e. single, continuous files.  Import drumtracks with any recording platform (ProTools, Cubase, Sonar, GarageBand…). 

Who Owns the Drum Tracks?
You do!  Sean does not retain any ownership over the drum tracks you pay for.  So don’t worry, if your song makes a million on iTunes, you don’t have to split it with your drummer! 

Does Sean Do Any Processing to the Drum Tracks?
Totally up to you, We can send raw files or Lightly compress and EQ the tracks prior to sending them.

What Individual Drum Tracks Will I Receive?

  • Snare top
  • Snare bottom
  • Kick
  • High Tom
  • Low Tom
  • Overheads
  • Room

 

 

Bottom line: No need to book studio time, pay an engineer, or drive to the studio. You save money and reduce emissions in the comfort of your own home. In addition, you get real drum tracks from a Grammy recognized drummer.
