The Front Room Studios :: Recording :: Mastering

If you've recorded the song that's going to make you a household name, but you can't figure out what is holding it back, let me ask you this: Did You Use Live Drums??

If you answered 'No' this could be the reason your song isn't as moving as you'd hoped. Live Drums are an integral part of a rock/pop band's sound, and no matter how much the best drum samplers and MIDI programmers claim they can 'humanize' the performance of your drums, the fact of the matter is - there's nothing better than the sound of live drums, played by a live drummer in a real room.

Front Room Studios can tailor a live drums performance for your recording and deliver the whole thing over the wonder of the internet!
All we need is an mp3 mix down of your song and a few notes on what you'd like your drum performance to sound like - just tell us:

Song Name
Genre (Style of Music)
Tempo (or multiple tempos - let us know if you're not sure, or you recorded without a click track)

Meter/Time Signature (2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 7/4, 6/8 - don't know/multiple)
Preferred Format (Wav/AIFF)
Sample Rate (44.1kHz, 48kHz)
Bit Rate (16bit, 24 bit)

Processes (Should we use EQ? Effects? Provide Raw Drum Sound.)
Sticks (Regular/Brushes)

Performance (Simple/Moderate/Busy/Whatever You Think Sounds Best!/Mix It Up!)
Intensity (Light/Med/Hard)

You can also provide a reference track as MIDI/Audio which we'll follow to the letter, adding fills/turnarounds if desired.

Include all of this (and any more) information in an email to our custom drums email address and we'll contact you with the appropriate information needed to confirm payment and get the job happening!

You will be kept up to date during the process via email, and we will provide an mp3 of the sessions for your approval. If you like the tracks, we will organise delivery of the tracks. If you'd like the drummer to create a new session you will be charged an additional (although smaller) fee.
