DREAM TO DEMO

Many aspiring musicians and bands have the dream of taking your original music to a studio and recording your song at a high level. The dream could be a release online, a CD or Vinyl release, or a demo to shop your music in the industry. Your ambitions may be higher and you may want a radio ready recording. At Mojo Productions we work in partnership with our clients and help them navigate through the process of recording your music. We have lived through mistakes and experienced the disappointment of paying what can be a lot of money for a product that is not satisfactory. Our goal is to help you record at the highest level possible within your budget. There is a process that we have refined through experience and hard work, and it produces incredible results. Here are the steps to a successful recording:
 
        1. Song Demo and Project Meeting
        2. Budget plan
        3. Pre-Production and Arrangement
        4. Bed Tracks 
        5. Overdubs and layering
        6. First Mix
        7. Finalizing the Master Mix
        8. Mastering your recording
        9. Release
 
We want your recording to be done at the highest level of production that you can afford and through our innovative and detailed process, we are able to guide you and assist you in taking your dream to a demo and beyond.
