Song Production for $500

Hi
My name is Pat Lajoie and I am from Melbourne Australia.

I read your post with much interest and thought I’d reach out.

Having previously completed a "Master Certificate in Songwriting" and "Professional Certificate in General Music Studies" from Berklee College of Music, and over 20years experience working as a professional musician, I am confident I am able to successfully complete your project.

For your consideration, the following Soundcloud links will give you an idea of my production work. The first link is to a cover of a track by jazz guitarist Chuck Loeb, entitled “Beneath the Light”. It’s me playing guitar on the track. I also played in the keyboard, bass and drums parts. (Please note, the client wanted me to leave the guitar solo out so he could play the solo live).
Also attached are brief selection of other backing tracks I’ve completed in the AC pop / Smooth Jazz genre.

During my audio production process I would carry out the following (when needed);
1. Minimise any sibilance, and plosives present in the lead vocal.
2. Tune and appropriately level the amplitude of the lead vocal, vocal harmony parts, lead instruments and backing vocals.
3. Correct any timing issues found in the vocals and instruments.
4. Check for all phasing issues and correct them when required.
5. Remove any unwanted noise on the recorded tracks.
6. Adjust levels and panning of instruments.
7. Apply EQ and compress tracks when necessary
8. Use reverbs, delays and modulation effects to further add meaning to the message of the song when required.
9. Create a more dynamic mix when required by applying level automation. This is done to further add meaning to the main message of the song.
10. Once the mix is approved I will then master the track.

Hope you are well and please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any further information.

Kind regards

Pat
