Click track: We do not require a click track. We can follow one if required.

Our flexible plans enable you to have the combination that best suits your project. You can select one of the following options:
Depending on your instrumentation:
▪ Strings Sessions: Includes recording strings in multiple divisi. We offer two distinct sound styles:
a) chamber string orchestra (8-7-5-4-2)
b) full symphonic string orchestra (16-14-12-10-8 and above)
▪Symphonic sessions: We accommodate any orchestration (for more details, see the above the ‘Orchestration’ section).
Depending on the duration of your piece:
▪ Shared sessions: These sessions are intended for small projects and offer a cost-effective way to record short works. We hold regular sessions in which we bring together other small productions so that you pay only for the recording of your music. We charge for a minimum of 2 minutes because even the shortest piece requires the musical and technical set-up time.
▪ Dedicated sessions: These sessions are appropriate for longer projects (10 minutes or more of recorded music).
Depending on level of complexity of your piece:
▪ Standard Plan: This plan is suitable for most scores.
▪ Premium Plan: This plan is required for scores of higher polyphonic and rhythmic complexity that require a large number of takes.
Both Plans includecomplete recording and editing.
Mixing and mastering are not included and can be provided with additional cost.
Our unique method of recording permits us to charge the same price regardless of how big or small the instrumentation. The price for Strings Sessions includes all divisi, and the price for Symphonic sessions includes all conventional instruments as detailed above.
In the shared sessions, we charge according to the duration of your music, and not for how long it takes us to make the recording.
For full information regarding pricing, see our pricing page.
Editing: Full editing is part of the service we offer and is included in our prices.
Delivery format, mixing and mastering:
You can choose from the following options:
• delivery of first mix and stems only (no additional fee required). The stem list is: All string sections separated, WW Section, WW first desks separated, Brass Section, First desk Horn, Trumpet and Trombone
• mixing and mastering by the in-house Symphonova team. For information regarding pricing, see our pricing page.
You retain full and exclusive copyright to the recording.
Your score (in the right format) can be sent anytime up to 7 days before the recording. We will agree with you on the delivery schedule in advance. Once recorded, we deliver within five working days. If you have an emergency and need something urgently, we have a special service to accommodate that as well, and the pricing will be negotiated in accordance with the circumstances.
We would be happy to hear about your project and answer any questions.
