e-RECORDING SERVICES - BASS TRACKS VIA e-MAIL

Do you need a bass player for your recordings? Look no further! I will utilize my decades of playing and recording experience to add groove and fresh ideas to your tunes.

 

How Does it Work?

 

Simply send me mp3s of your songs, preferably without bass. Also, send me chord charts or a written bass part if you have them. If not, no worries. I will come up with bass parts myself. I will then record the bass tracks at my home studio and send you mp3 rough mixes of your songs with bass added. When you approve the tracks, send payment via PayPal. I will then send you studio-quality WAV files of the bass tracks that you can drop right into your recording software. It's just that simple! It will sound like I am in the room playing along with you.
