What places would you use to get your own theme tune from.?

Arthur Stead will do an incredible job for you. http://www.arthurstead.com

John McEwen used to, but I'm not sure if he is still active. He did a GREAT job with my theme music.

Nathan Roberts also does an excellent job. http://www.nathanjroberts.com

There are others here in the Café, as well. Hopefully they'll pop up soon and identify themselves.

PM me,

I can make custom music for you (only you and I will have that music).

Bills work is GREAT!

He made the music for my opener, and I love it!

Thanks Matthew

What kinda pricing are we talking about?

Custom pricing.

Depending on the work, it varies. I can produce and record a song within a couple hours and then there is the time to rerecord/tweak as requested by the client. Mathew can confirm this. Typically, I charge only about $10/hour for custom work. The length of time it takes me is again varied.

Thanks Bill.What is the guesstimated average length of time from start to the finished work? Can one guesstimated a budget of about $100 per song?

My piece was completed in less than a week. Very fast, and it sounds great!

Hello Maps,

Again, it really depends on the song and what you are looking for. As I said, I can usually bang out a song in a couple hours. I then send and then make any revisions as needed. I can usually send you a sample of how it will sound in 2 hours. The week Mathew refers to is the length of time it took me to compose, record, send a sample, edit as per request, and final production...amongst all my other work and performing. Total time for Mathew I believe was around 4 hours.

$40 for a customized song is a reasonable price. What kinda of format will it be? Mp3 / iTunes etc...
Last question I promise! Does it include vocals? I was thinking of a theme song for my show and wants to explore the possibilities
Also what is the length of the music/song? Ok I overshot by one question

It will often be in wav format (best quality sound) but depending on how I record it, it could also be MP3.

I can include some royalty free sampled vocal or some custom word samples created using my voice.

Length can any lenth. Obviously a longer song may mean more time to produce it. However, if the song is very simple, I can increase the length quite easily if it is repetitive

Thanks Bill.I think it sounds do-able.I am thinking for an opening theme song for my marionette song but haven't any ideas which directions to go yet.
Does it have lyrics?
