How Producers use Pro:

• Hire a vocalist to sing on your track (assuming lyric and melody are already created) 
• Hire real humans to play the instruments you don’t specialize in and bring fresh sounds to your production (and save time / energy by not trying to "fake" instruments you don't know) 
• get your songs mixed / mastered by professionals at affordable rates 

How Artists use Pro:

• Create a demo or master of your song by hiring the session work / music services you need at our discounted rates (best for artists who understand the recording process and can guide their own ship)
• add fresh sounds to your songs by using talented humans instead of the same old samples
• get your songs mixed / mastered by professionals at affordable rates

How Songwriters use Pro: 

• Create a demo or master of your song by hiring the session work / music services you need at our discounted rates (best for songwriters who understand the recording process and can guide their own ship)
• add fresh sounds to your existing production by using talented humans instead of the same old samples
• get your songs mixed / mastered by professionals at affordable rates

Nope. 

But the membership will be most useful to those who already understand the recording process and feel confident to guide their own production process.

We see our service as a tool that the self-guided producer, artist or songwriter can use to save time, stress and money. And of course, create better and more interesting music. 

Right here.

Most orders will be completed within 4-7 business days. 

Because our Nashville music professionals are working at reduced rates, we try to give them enough time to batch their assigned projects. 

We will be adding Rush Orders soon for a small fee so you can get your tracks even faster. 

All PRO orders come with at least one free round of revisions. 

Any additional revision rounds will be billed separately at $30 an hour. 

For example: If you ordered electric guitar services and needed more than one revision -- you would request that additional revision and we would track the time it takes our guitarist to finish that revision.

If it took them 30 minutes to finish your revision -- you would be charged an additional $15. 

NOTE: Mixing Services come with 3 revision rounds because that is simply a part of the mixing process.  

_{*Due to the time it takes to create a String Ensemble, the first round of revisions for String Ensembles (3 String Parts or more) is free up to 30 minutes -- after that it is $40 per hour} 

_{Similarly, Vocal orders come with one round of revisions up to 30 minutes. After that it is $30 an hour.} 

When hiring vocals, yes :) 

We assign all other PRO projects ourselves.

We do this for a few reasons.

Reason #1: it saves you the time of scrolling through profiles and samples to try to find the right fit based on very limited information.

Reason #2: We do this because we know our musicians and their skill sets best and we want to make sure you have the right music pro for your project. 

Reason #3: We have a highly curated team that works specifically on PRO projects.  Part of the reason that this team agrees to work on projects for such low prices is that the team only expands when demand requires it. So while they work for lower prices than they do anywhere else, they get more work due to the appropriately sized team. 

All orders come with at least one free round of revisions.

But we know it is a bit scary to try a new service, so you get a 100% Money Back Guarantee on your first 3 orders.

All sessions and services are Work For Hire. This means you keep 100% of the ownership. 

Andrew (Founder of NFH) here to answer this one myself. 

Because this is really important to me. 

The short answer: Yes! 

Longer answer: The PRO membership is designed to be a win / win / win. '

We call this the Win - Win - Win Initiative. 

1. A win for you. Because you can afford to purchase the services that your music needs. 

2. A win for our musicians. Even though they are being hired at rates that are a fraction of their normal fee, we make sure that they still (on average) make around $40 an hour. We can make this happen because all of the flat rates you pay for services go directly to them. We (NFH as a business) only keep the subscription fee. 

Beyond that,

we manage all orders,

handle all communications with clients (that's you!),

create charts

and manage all files.

This means that all our musicians have to do is sit down at their instrument and do what they do best: help bring your song to life. 

Not only that, but we build in enough turnaround time that our musicians can "batch" orders and be as efficient as possible with their time. 

AND we have a hyper curated PRO team of musicians that only grows as the volume of orders grow. So while they may be working for lower rates than they usually do, they get more orders more often. And consistency is huge in the freelance space. 

3. What about that 3rd win? That "win" is a win for our business model. Subscriptions allow us to make consistent revenue and therefore provide a service like this that creates a win for you and our musicians. 

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk :)

YES.

Very much so.

Our flat rates are (on average) less than half the normal price that you'd normally need to spend to hire that service. With no loss in quality.

Even if you order just one service every month, you’ll be saving money.

You can hire Pedal Steel, Lap Steel, Dobro, Mandolin and Banjo.
