Additonal Options And fees
Priority commission: For a $20 price increase, I will prioritise your commission over others'.
Force Open slot: I do not offer a force open slot option.
Rush fee: I cannot rush commissions. So long as the date you need the product by is reasonable and completing it within the timeline doesn't affect prior engagements, I will do my best to complete the commission by a set date.
Length fee: For roughly every minute (give or take 15 seconds) added to the length of the final product past the listed length (this varies from tier to tier), a $20 price increase will follow. If you wish to keep the price below a certain price threshold, I will do my best to keep it that way. This excludes the most expensive tier.
Revision fees: Once you are happy with the product and I send you the uncompressed versions as well as the project file, if you wish to make more changes after that point, a $10 fee will incur each time we revisit the product.
Commission Dos and Don'ts
Things I will not put in your commission:
-
Politics / political content

Copyrighted loops or melodies I have not paid for (if you are unsure about what I will not put in a commission you can always ask me)
-
Anything that would get the music removed from most streaming services
-
Hate symbols of any kind
-
Direct recreations of existing songs

Things I will put in your commission:
-
Recreations of copyrighted loops, as to avoid copyright infringement (this process will vary from loop-to-loop)
-
Positivity :)
Note: I will do remixes, as long as the remix is of a song you have full rights to or have permission from the artist themselves to use and modify.
The Final Product
The final product you will receive automatically includes high-quality .mp3 and .wav versions of the commission, as well as any other audio formats you request. Additionally, I will give you the FL Studio project file complete with all of the sounds, plugin information, midi information, and a .txt file with names and links to all of the aftermarket plugins used. You, as the Commissioner, also receive full distribution rights to the final product, so long as I am listed as the composer under the credits of streaming services.
Starting A Commission
After filling out the form linked below, I will contact you on your preferred form of contact to start the commission process. From there, we will go back and forth until your idea is within budget for you, and doable for me. After that, we will start the commission itself. This is where we will go over pricing, payment options, and anything else which allows us to fully complete the commission.
Commission process
Once your idea is settled, we will join a zoom meeting, discord call, or Microsoft teams meeting to start the commission (cameras are not required). We will start creating the song together. Once you and I are at a place where we feel comfortable disconnecting with the work done, I will work on it on my own time. We can join more video calls, but it's not required. A typical commission with video calls takes place over roughly 2-4 calls. (I usually require a video call at the start because it starts the commission a lot faster. You also have more direct control over how the song sounds.) If you would not like to join a video call, there is a spot to mention that in the commission form. Once you are happy with the entire product, You can ask me for the final product. Once I send it over, any further changes will incur fees.
Payment Process
Once we finesse and figure out your idea, pricing, and timeline, you will pay half of the payment through Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal. Once the commission is finished, and you are happy with the product, I will send over the final product after you pay me the second half.
