Top tips
It helps a lot if you send me the following info:
• Count-in or click (if you want me to play right from the start of the track)
• File format needed from me (industry standard is 16/24 bit WAV)
• Do you need me to play a specific way? For example, are there certain sections of the song you'd like me to play on? Specific notes, melodies or licks that you need? Would you like aaggressive/relaxed/melodic style etc? The more information I have, the quicker and easier the process.
