HOW DO I SEND
YOU MY SONGS?
The beauty of this web site is that you can e-mail me a stereo mix
of your song in .mp3 format to submissions@percussiontracks.com.
I will then convert it to an .aiff file and and import it directly

I USE
A RECORDING SOFTWARE OTHER THEN PRO TOOLS. WILL YOUR TRACKS LINE
UP WITH MINE?
Yes, as long as all tracks including the stereo mix of your song
starts at zero
( 00:00:00:00 ) we shouldn’t have any problems. I will also
start all percussion tracks at 00:00:00:00 so that when you import
them all you have to do is just place the tracks at the same starting
point and they will automatically line up.

DO YOU USE ANY
SAMPLES OR LOOPS?
No, every single track that you receive from me is custom to your
particular song. Between the both of us we will decide which of
my instruments will make your song
come alive.

HOW MANY CHANGES OR REVISIONS MAY I ASK FOR?
My goal is to keep my clients satisfied and I will make changes
until we agree that your song is perfect in the pro package. For
other packages, changes will be limited.

WHAT IF I DON’T LIKE ANY OF YOUR IDEAS FOR MY SONG?
This is part of your consultation, depending on your package. I
will make all necessary changes. Usually 3 out of 4 of my initial
ideas are approved by my clients and/or producers before I start
working on a song.

it should sound the way you want it to sound.

 WHAT
IS A STEREO TOYS TRACK?
A stereo toys track is basically a set-up that consists of 2 condenser
microphones either in a X Y positioning or 2 of the same mic’s
spread apart at equal distance. I then play various instruments
or “toys” panning them from left to right or vise-versa
creating a stereo effect.
The "toys" are usually small percussion instruments (rain
stick, pods, shakers, rattles, etc.) that create a unique element
to enhance your project. (See photo to right)
