Full sound design overhaul of an existing track or session
Replacement or enhancement of basic/preset sounds with custom-designed patches
Custom Serum presets built specifically for your track, included in final delivery — these are yours to keep and use in future projects
Sound selection consultation — we'll discuss the sonic direction before touching anything
Up to 2 rounds of revisions
Delivery includes: updated stems/session files + all custom Serum preset files (.fxp)
6–10 business days from receipt of files and creative brief
2 rounds of revisions included. Additional revisions beyond that are charged at $[25] per round.
Before submitting, prepare the following:
Your session or stems — Ableton Collect All and Save preferred. If stems, follow the same stem export guidelines as the Mixing service above.
A creative brief — this is important. Tell us:
What sounds in your track feel weak, generic, or placeholder
What sounds you want to keep — don't assume we know
Reference tracks that have the kind of sound design you're going for
The genre and mood — "dark techno" and "melodic house" need completely different approaches
Any specific instruments or elements you want redesigned (leads, basses, pads, FX, transitions)
Note your current plugins — let us know what's installed in your session. If you're using a plugin we don't have, flag it so we can discuss whether to replace it or work around it. Serum is required on your end to use the delivered presets.
What you'll receive:
Updated session or stems with the new sound design in place
All custom Serum presets as individual .fxp files labeled by element (e.g. BassRx_LeadSynth_01.fxp)
A short note explaining what was changed and why, so you can learn from the decisions and apply them going forward
