• Professional arrangement and production of pop R&B track from demo with vocals - final master for distribution

    7 hours ago
    • Desired budget up to 350.28 USD
    • Waiting for a performer...
  • There is a demo of the song - vocals and acoustic guitar, recorded at home in 48 kHz 24-bit, plus lyrics and references. We need to turn the demo into a modern commercial pop R&B track with cinematic elements, maintaining the character of the vocals and melody, but completely building the arrangement, sound design and production.

    Initial situation and environment
    - Given: 1-2 vocal tracks (lead + backing in some places), 1 guitar track, approximate tempo and key, 3 references for sound and density
    - Working environment: preferably Ableton Live 11-12 or Logic Pro X, Pro Tools acceptable provided the project is transferred in the form of stems; FabFilter/iZotope/Valhalla/Soundtoys level plugins are welcome
    - Genre: pop R&B 95-105 BPM, soft groove, modern low mids, tight sub, neat dynamics, vocals in front

    What should happen
    1) Full arrangement at 2:40-3:10 with a clear form (intro - verse - pre-hook - hook - bridge/break - final hook), with dynamics in sections
    2) Selection and programming of drums (kick/snare/clap/hats/percs) with human groove, ghost notes and variations, without loops from demo
    3) Bass and sub-layer with phase control and mono at the bottom, sidechain according to the necessary elements
    4) Harmonic backing and lead elements - synths, piano/keys, atmospheric layers, transitions, riser/impact, fill elements in vocal pauses
    5) Vocal editing - cleaning, crossfades, easy timing correction, pitch correction within the genre without robotization, preparation of backing and doubles, effects (delay/reverb/throws) by sections
    6) Mix and final master for digital release

    Restrictions
    - The melody and structure of the text cannot be changed; Suggestions on the form are allowed only if reasoned and agreed upon
    - Do not use recognizable protected samples and melody lines from commercial sets that can cause Content ID conflicts; all sources must be safe for release
    - Preserve the naturalness of vocals - auto-tune is allowed only as an invisible correction

    Execution steps
    - Stage 1: demo analysis, tempo alignment/project setup, rough form, sound palette selection
    - Stage 2: building an arrangement and sound design, creating transitions and variations
    - Stage 3: vocal editing and preparation of effects in sections
    - Stage 4: mix, then master, preparing the package for distribution

    Output files
    - WAV master 24-bit 44.1 kHz and 16-bit 44.1 kHz
    - Instrumental, Acapella, TV-mix
    - Stems by group: drums, bass, music, fx, lead vocal, backing vocals (each stem at one starting point)
    - A rough DAW project or, if the project cannot be transferred, a complete set of source MIDI and audio stems

    Acceptance criteria - measurable
    - Integrated loudness of the final master -9 to -10 LUFS, True Peak no higher than -1.0 dBTP
    - Lows up to 120 Hz in mono without noticeable phase dips; the correlation check does not consistently move into the negative area
    - Vocals are readable at -14 LUFS when listening on a smartphone and small monitors, without sibilance or sharp peaks
    - Smooth transitions between sections without clicks or artifacts, breathing noises are processed carefully
    - Stems are imported into the new project and when added together give the same balance as the final mix

    I will provide materials: original WAV, text, BPM/key, references, wishes for mood. Communication - comments on the project and 1-2 rounds of edits on the mix and arrangement after the draft.
