I consider every project case by case, contact me dylen@knoxsoundstudios.com or call 865.368.1600 to determine what you have in mind and we can find a package that best fits you. Why do I say this? What if you want a demo with photo shots and viral/music video or you want a full production EP or full length with me producing or you're a songwriter who needs help coming up with ideas and musicians. See what I'm saying?  Here at KnoxSound Studios, we basically have a project ready for you and you can feel confident that your art shows integrity and a professionals attention.  Below is some packages to get an ideal, but I consider them pretty generic, but it will still give you an idea. Thanks.



 

3 Song Demo Package $150

This includes reasonable set up time

and media deliverable. Plan on using

house drum kit, doing otherwise negates

the promotion                                                                                                                Block Rates

10 Hr $250
25 Hr $575
50 Hr $1050

 This is geared for the band wanting to get

something solid for landing some gigs. What you'll

expect when you coming in is, playing live to

eachother isolated with a headphone mix. 4 mics on

drums, 1 mic on cabinet, direct bass and scratch vocals.

We'll overdub vocals when tracks are laid down and

mixed to demo quality. Of course if you have other

instruments we'll get that straightend out so I'm prepared

to do such. This is not set up for a 5 piece band. This doesn't

include doubling up on vocals or fine music production,

you'll be better off picking another package or block rate

so there's no confusion. Thanks



MASTERING

Let's be honest, I'm not going to pretend to be a Mastering Engineer or have the proper gear, BUT! I do have colaborated relationships with mastering studios, and typical rates for full length are between $500-$700. To be clear, I'm not making a dime for being the middle man, but you'll get a better rate if you go through me. Mastering in the box is fine and I can do that if budget is tight, and in many cases they are.  I'll master it, but in all honesty, I feel it bastardizes the Mastering Engineer and its purpose. It's like a band recording their own stuff on their Motu, Pro Tools LE or Garageband, can they do it? Hell yeah they can, but does that make them an engineer ? And in most cases the art and project suffer and it doesn't show its fullest potential. Their creative flow is interupted with _____Now with time, that same band will fullfill and become engineers and execute a solid sound, but time and a meticulous ear separates the novice and the engineer. Same goes with Mastering. Just because I have a Mastering Suite plug-ins doesn't mean anything except I spent some money. While I may seem like I'm selling myself short, I'm just being honest, and walk with integrity and take pride into what I'm involved in. Spend the extra $$ even if it means your band has to save money for 3 weeks, it's well worth it. Seriously.
