One for worship songwriters...

[worshipsongrecording]

Hey there, if you're a worship songwriter and you'd love to get your songs professionally recorded so you can share them with your church or more widely, can I encourage you to check out www.worshipsongrecording.com. It's a new service specifically for worship songwriters - all you have to provide is a rough demo recorded on your phone, a chord chart and some ideas of how you'd like it to sound, and we'll do the rest! You'll receive a fully-produced track back within a week or so. It's way quicker, cheaper and easier than using a conventional studio, and with no risks attached - if you're not satisfied with the arrangement, you don't pay. Have a look and let me know what you think!
Cheers
Matt

How much do you charge? Just off hand?

How well do you handle Hebrew lyrics? (like from the Psalms)

Hi Dave - for a basic demo recording (drums, bass, 2 x keys, 2 x guitars, lead vocal) it's £120 / $175. The Full and Pro recording packages are £195/$280 and £240/$345 respectively - they include more complex production and things like the ability to get your song as a backing track or multitrack stems. Full details of the packages are here and you can listen to demos of the different recording packages here .

Re handling Hebrew lyrics - if they were written out phonetically I reckon we could manage. My mother happens to be a retired lecturer in Old Testament Theology so I could probably ask her for some advice as well! Alternatively, we can produce a rough backing track for you to record a lead vocal over (which you can do in any church that has any kind of recording facility from the mixing desk) which we'll then add to the final mix. If you're interested, do send a rough phone demo of the song along with a chord chart and some ideas of how you'd like it to sound to matt@worshipsongrecording.com and we can discuss from there.

God bless

Matt

Thanks for the info. I will think about it. Am leaning toward just recording them myself.

Here is an example of some of the kind of stuff I do:

I have been trying to track down the writer to one of the songs I want to do - only to find an obit this morning. Not sure if it is the same guy or not, we have been out of touch for a long time. Right name and right age.

Hi Dave, I'm sorry to hear about your writer friend, that's tough.

Unfortunately I couldn't get the video to work - it just said "This video is not available" - guess there's some geographical restriction on it or something like that. Re your recordings, if it would help then we can produce complete backing tracks over which a songwriter records their own vocals, sends the vocals to us and we include them in the final mix. That's what we did with the track "Awakening" here - the author recorded his vocals in Minnesota and I mixed them in London. Let me know if that would be of interest - all the best in your writing.

Cheers
Matt

OK - I will keep you in mind.

I found out yesterday that the guy that wrote one of the unpublished songs I wanted to cover on this next project died a couple of months ago. I was hoping to get a duet with him on it. O well.
