What’s the Process for Creating Arrangements for a Show?

  1.

  2. On approval, we do the orchestration and send a mockup of it.
  3. On approval, we deliver parts and score, and/or begin track productionAssembling, editing and combining audio elements including instruments, vocals and effects into a finished mix (if quoted and agreed in advance)
  4. If we’re doing track production, we help find appropriate talent, and on agreement with you, send tracks to them
  5. We receive client tracks and do a mix1. Collection of individual tracks or parts 2. The process of adjusting relative sound levels, processing and placement within a sonic realm 3. The result of sonic recording and processing.

How Long Does It Take to Write a Score?

Figure 1-2 days per musical number to create an arrangement and orchestration, variable depending on the number of revisions requested.

What Do Show Arrangements Cost?

The cost is based on 3 factors:

  • What material is available as a source? Are there existing recordings or transcriptions? (These can reduce the cost)
  • What the length of each number is in minutes and seconds for each number? Or the total playback time?
  • What is the instrumentation? How many instruments and vocalists?

We have a Cost Estimator calculator on our website to give a general idea of cost, with some conventional ensemble configurations shown. Just input the time in min:sec, and you’ll see a range of values.

Are Bulk Discounts Available?

Yes. We bill deposits in order to execute our contract or work agreement and schedule the work on receipt.
