Which Scenario Sounds Like You?

Artists who work with us typically fall into one of the 3 categories:

  • Idea Realization: You’ve got an acapella, melody or concept you need turned into a full track.

Wherever you are in your journey, we meet you there.

How did you hear about us?

Welcome to the New Music Industry

The music industry is undergoing a transformative shift, moving away from greedy gatekeepers and embracing a more artist-centric model built on integrity and passion.

In the past, artists often navigated a complex web of record labels and industry standards that dictated their creative direction (at the expense of fulfillment – defeating the purpose).

Today, the landscape is evolving towards greater autonomy and direct fan engagement.

At Blue Road Music, our Signature Sound Design service embodies this new era.

We empower artists to define their unique sonic identity without the constraints of outdated industry norms. By focusing on authentic artistry and leveraging modern production techniques, we help you create music that resonates in today’s dynamic environment .

Embrace the future of music with us—where your creativity leads, and we provide the expertise to bring your vision to life.

INTRA-PROJECT FAQ

What happens if I don’t like a track you create?

No problem! If a track doesn’t feel right, we’ll scrap it and start fresh—up to 12 extra “track ideas” for album projects, free of charge. Only tracks you approve count toward your total.

Our process is designed to give you flexibility and creative freedom while ensuring you leave with fully polished custom instrumentals you’re proud of.

Here’s a breakdown of track ideas, and how many you get with each service:

“Track Ideas” vs. Fully-Produced Tracks

  • Track Ideas: These are rough drafts or conceptual instrumentals that serve as starting points for your project. They’re exploratory and designed to help us zero in on your unique sound.
  • Fully Produced Tracks: Once we land on the right track ideas, we bring them to life with a full production, including mixing, layering, and perfecting every detail.

Here’s what you’ll receive with each package:

  • Single: Up to 3 track ideas, 1 fully produced track.
  • EP (4-8 Tracks): Up to 16 track ideas, up to 8 fully produced tracks.
  • Album (9-12 Tracks): Up to 24 track ideas, up to 12 fully produced tracks.

How involved can I be during the process?

As involved as you want to be! We provide regular updates and are open to feedback at every stage. You’ll have a clear view of where each track is headed.

How long do you store project files?

Unless you request otherwise, we store all project files in-house indefinitely. However, be sure to proactively store the physical and digital copies of the finished master files we send you in a safe and secure place.

EP/ALBUM-SPECIFIC FAQ

What does 9-12 tracks mean exactly?

All album projects are allowed up to 12 total “full tracks” and 24 total “track ideas”, from which your full tracks will be created from. Any unused tracks are discarded and/or repurposed (depending on copyright ownership context). In most cases, all 24 track ideas are not required as we hone in on the desired sound rather early.

Here’s a breakdown of how our flexibility works within the 9-12 track range, with practical scenarios to make it clear:

Scenario 1: You Know You Want a 12-Track Album
If your goal is a 12-track album, we’ll ensure you end up with 12 polished tracks you’re proud of. To achieve this, we might work through say 15 track ideas, refining and selecting the best ones. This process helps us hone your album’s sonic identity, and we’re excited to put in the extra effort to make it perfect.

Scenario 2: You Know You Want a 9-Track Album
Let’s say you’re aiming for 9 tracks and you’re vibing with the first 6, you’ll still have room to explore up to 6 more full tracks (and 18 track ideas). This ensures you have plenty of options to complete your vision without pressure.

Scenario 3: You’re Unsure How Many Tracks You Want
Many artists start the process without a specific track count in mind, and that’s completely okay. For example, if we create 12 fully produced tracks and you connect with 10 of them, you may decide to go with a 10-track album because it feels just right for your project. We’ll adapt as your vision becomes clearer during the process.

Scenario 4: You Want More Than 12 Tracks
If your vision expands beyond 12 tracks, that’s not a problem. We’re happy to work out a custom arrangement with you. Please reach out, and we’ll discuss your options to make it happen.

What if I don’t like all the tracks produced?

This service isn’t meant to be rigid or restrictive. It’s meant to open your sonic identity up to new possibilities and soundscapes. Audio experiences that either enhance, or evolve your current sound.

You’re allotted up to 24 track ideas for an album project (out of which, 9-12 are fully produced).

For example: A 12-track album – you could scrap up to 12 during the process at no extra cost. This ensures you’re left with a polished product you truly love.

Really though, if you have to scrap 12, we’re in the wrong business.

I don’t know how many tracks I want—what should I do?

No worries! Many artists start without a clear track count. We’ll work through the process with you, and by the end, you’ll have a better sense of what feels right for your album or EP.
