Drum Tracking – How it works:
[/vc_column_text]
[vc_column_text]Just let me know how many tracks need drums recorded on; the style of music, the tempos, how the client wants it sent to them and precise information on how the client wants the drum tracking to be performed musically. Tracks can be sent in separate parts, the full drum part or both.I will do re-takes for a maximum of three times per track.
The rates I charge for drum tracking are in line with the Musicians Union rates.
Drop me a line for further information about this via the contact form[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”390″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” bg_type=”image” parallax_style=”vcpb-default” bg_image_new=”id^389|url^https://danielsmithson.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/recording-session-1.jpg|caption^null|alt^null|title^recording-session-1|description^null” enable_overlay=”enable_overlay_value” overlay_color=”rgba(15,15,15,0.66)” css=”.vc_custom_1650826195039{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″ offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-4 vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-offset-1/5 vc_col-md-3/5 vc_col-sm-offset-3 vc_col-xs-offset-1 vc_col-xs-10″ css=”.vc_custom_1653421783929{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;border-top-width: 2px !important;border-right-width: 2px !important;border-bottom-width: 2px !important;border-left-width: 2px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;background-color: rgba(28,28,28,0.85) !important;*background-color: rgb(28,28,28) !important;border-left-color: #b25437 !important;border-left-style: double !important;border-right-color: #b25437 !important;border-right-style: double !important;border-top-color: #b25437 !important;border-top-style: double !important;border-bottom-color: #b25437 !important;border-bottom-style: double !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_text el_class=”white” css=”.vc_custom_1652723132671{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”]
