•  Is there a down payment that must be made before you start working on my track?
  You can pay in-full up front or in many case you may provide a deposit of 50% at minimum once a price and terms are agreed upon. This allows me to reserve time in my schedule to dedicate to working on your track. I typically will create an invoice, but you can also pay here: http://www.myminstrel.com/payment
• How do custom tracks work?
  Once a deposit is received an a development schedule is agreed upon, I try to follow this basic process when doing custom tracks.
  1. We will agree on the format/style of the song to use as a starting point (e.g. refer to a YouTube video, CD recording, or you can send an audio recording).
  2. I will send you a lyric sheet based on the recorded version used as a starting point. You can respond with any general changes to the sequence.
  3. I will compose a simple musical arrangement (basic chords).
  4. We will agree on the arrangement (chord progression, style, etc) and repeat 2 through 3 if necessary
  5. I will add all instrumentation and send a draft.
  6. Final balance will be due at this time. Final changes will be made to individual parts and final will be sent.

• What pre-done tracks do you already have?
  The best place to look are the samples I have here.You can also see a list of pre-done tracks that I have for purchase.
• What instruments are typically included?
  5 Included instruments (2 lead instruments, bass guitar or equivalent, drum set, & percussion).
• What is the percussion you are referring to?
  Percussion refers to rhythm instruments not included on standard drum set. E.g. a song that has a Latin feel often includes wood block, congas/bongos, cow bells, shakers etc.
