Yes. You are more than welcome to post your finalized song on social media. Upon completion, we will provide you links to popular social media sites that we have posted your song to as well.
♪ Can I have a band play the song live?
Yes, you certainly can! We have an option where you can purchase sheet music of your song. Click here for sheet music.
♪ Can I sing on the song myself?
Yes, you certainly can! We have an instrumental version, which includes the music (no lyrics) of your song. When you choose this option, we will email you two copies of the song-- one with our vocalist singing your words and one without vocals – just the music. Click here for instrumental version.
♪ Can I change the song if I do not like it?
Yes. You will receive a 45-second song clip (via email) 10 days after you submit your order of how your song sounds so far. You will get to listen to it for 48 hours and email us with your feedback. At that time, let us know how you like it or if you would like us to make a change. Depending on that, we will move forward with the production, or change it according to your feedback.
♪ What if I do not like the song when it is finished?
We have never had a customer who was not extremely happy with his/her song. The 10-day song clip is the way we keep situations like this from occurring and works well. The reason is that we send you a song clip for you to preview so you can provide your personal feedback before we send you the finished production. But, if for whatever reason you are not happy with your song when it is done, we can talk about it. Please keep in mind that there may be an additional charge if you are requesting major changes to the final song.
♪ What if I want a vocal change?
After we receive your order form, which includes your example song(s) and desired vocals, we choose both a composing team (we have about 50 teams across the U.S.) and an artist that is close to the sound of the music you desire. If you do not like the vocalist we selected, we can acquire another one for you. However, there will be a fee associated with this change so we can pay them for the studio time. We strongly encourage you, in the order process, to tell us what type of vocalist you are looking for in your song.
♪ What if I want a tempo change?
After we receive your order form, that includes the example song(s) you give us as your preference of how you want it to sound (you can choose one famous song with a similar beat/tempo and/or one with the "sound" or style you want), we choose a composing team that will be able to compose it as requested from you. If you do not like the tempo (beat) of your song, or are not feeling the "vibe" and just want a total redo, there is a charge to make this change. We strongly encourage you to indicate the type of tempo (beat) you would like for your song on the order form to avoid this scenario. It's simply giving us an example of a famous song or two that you like. That's it!
♪ Who owns the song when it is complete?
At YourSongmaker, we believe that everyone involved in the artistic piece should share the ownership rights. Every member of the team has a direct impact on how the song turns out. There is a three-way split and that split is 40% to the lyricist (you), 40% to the composer, and 20% to YourSongmaker. Songmaker Productions (YourSongmaker) will copyright your song when it’s complete naming each of us as partial owners at the above percentages. For clients who want 100% of the copyright, we have a buyout clause starting at $5,000 per song after the full production is complete. It's expensive, but it's becuase if anything were ever to happen with the song (we call it "growing legs in the music industry) the other artists involved in the piece wouldn't receive any money. ever.
♪ Can I work with the composing team or musician directly?
No. Well, you could and some other sites will try to pair you with a musician to work with you. Musicians, however, are very busy people. A lot of times they’re on the road, in the studio, creating projects (several), playing in bands at night, playing in open mic nights, etc. which makes it difficult to get in touch with them. Unfortunately, sometimes that happens right in the middle of your project. Here at YourSongmaker, our composers are passionate about what they do and work directly with our executive producer, David. We take all of the burden off of you to get it done – the way you want it in two weeks.
Yes. We encourage sales of your song. Featured songs are always available for purchase through our website and we can provide you with a direct link when listing it for sale. If your song did not make the Featured Songs list, we can still provide you with a link for sales of your song. Please see the Terms of Use for details if you intend to sell your song on your own.
♪ Who is responsible for the copyright of my song?
Songmaker Productions, LLC aka YourSongmaker will be responsible for obtaining the copyright of your song at completion. If you are interested in obtaining a copyright certificate, you may order one at the time of the song purchase or after the song is complete.
