Frequently asked questions

Timeline depends on score complexity and ensemble size. Most recordings complete within two to four weeks from artist assignment. We build in time for refinement sessions and revisions to ensure the final product matches your vision.

Yes. Browse our roster to find artists whose work resonates with you. We'll match your score to their strengths and schedule availability. If you prefer, we can also recommend musicians based on your instrumentation and style.

Revisions are part of the process. After the initial recording, you have the opportunity to request changes. We work with the artists to refine interpretation, balance, or technical elements until you're satisfied.

We prefer finished scores, but incomplete work can be discussed. A one-on-one session with an artist often clarifies what's missing before moving to recording. This saves time and ensures the final product reflects your intent.

We deliver high-quality stereo files in WAV and MP3 formats. For specific needs—surround sound, stems, or archival masters—contact us to discuss options and any additional costs.

A session is real-time feedback from a professional musician on your score. You'll hear your work played, discuss interpretation and clarity, and get actionable notes. It's a conversation, not a performance.

Absolutely. Many composers use sessions to refine work before committing to a full recording. Others book sessions as standalone consultations. Either way, you get direct insight from someone who knows how to play your music.

Sessions typically run sixty to ninety minutes, depending on score length and complexity. We schedule enough time to cover your questions thoroughly without rushing the work.

One-on-one is open feedback and exploration with an artist of your choice. Ready-Session-Go is structured editing focused on making your score recording-ready. Pick based on what your score needs.

No. Sessions work with drafts and incomplete work. In fact, early feedback often saves time later. Bring what you have and we'll work from there.

You do. Once the recording is complete and paid for, it's yours to use as you see fit. We retain no ownership claim to your music or the final product.

Yes. Your recording can be released, sold, streamed, or licensed. There are no restrictions on commercial use once the work is delivered.

The artists are hired for the session and have no ongoing claim to the recording. They're compensated for their work and that's the end of it. Your music is yours alone.

Yes. Upload it to streaming platforms, include it in your portfolio, submit it to competitions—whatever serves your work. No permissions needed from us.

None that we impose. The recording is yours. If your score itself is under contract with a publisher, check those terms, but the recording itself has no limitations from SoundScore.

Cost depends on instrumentation, ensemble size, and intended use. A solo piece costs less than a full orchestra. We provide a custom quote after reviewing your score. No surprises.

Sessions are priced per hour or per session block. One-on-one runs differently than Ready-Session-Go. Request a quote and we'll break down the exact cost for what you need.

We require a deposit to confirm your artist and start date. The balance is due upon delivery of the final recording. Payment plans are available for larger projects.

Most recordings take two to four weeks from artist assignment to final delivery. Sessions can be scheduled within days. Timeline adjusts based on complexity and your availability.

Rush timelines are possible depending on artist availability. There may be an additional fee. Contact us with your deadline and we'll see what's feasible.
