FAQ.
How much is custom production?
The total is $500. A $100 non-refundable deposit reserves the project and is credited toward that total, leaving $400 due before final delivery.
How many revisions are included?
Three revision rounds are included. A round means one organized set of notes, so it helps to collect your feedback before sending it.
How long does it take?
Timing depends on the current schedule and what your song needs. Share your deadline when you reach out, and we’ll let you know the expected start window and scope before you book.
What does exclusive mean here?
After final payment, you receive the exclusive-use license described in the signed agreement. Exclusivity does not transfer Don’s publishing share. The working expectation is a 50% producer / 50% artist-side composition split unless both sides agree otherwise in writing.
What can I send?
You can send an idea, reference links, a demo, or recorded vocals. Accepted uploads include WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, M4A, MP4, and MOV files. Private uploads are limited to three files, 100 MB each.
Is promotion included?
Promotion is a separate service, not part of custom production. Once the song is finished, you’re welcome to ask about a skit-based campaign starting around $1,000. Campaigns depend on availability and creative fit, so booking production does not include or guarantee promotion.
What happens after I submit?
Don will listen to what you share and follow up about the project and availability. If you decide to move forward together, you'll receive a private booking link and pay the $100 non-refundable deposit to reserve the project. The signed agreement and exclusive license are delivered after the beat is complete and accepted. Your confirmation email will cover your receipt, $400 balance, agreed scope, start window, file instructions, and place in the schedule.
