Professional Music Production Services

Quantum Muzik has been in the music production industry for almost a decade. This experience has given us a front-row seat to the evolution of music. We've got a pretty good handle on how things work. 

Our approach is to work closely with clients to understand their vision and bring it to life through high-quality, advanced digital processing. We manipulate AI to create a product that is as real as it gets..... so real, that anyone would assume came straight out of a studio.

AI literally stands for "artifical intelligence", which is simply mankind's attempt to make machines learn how to do things, and learn from their mistakes. AI is behind most of the new technological advances in the past ten years: self-driving cars is a prime example. And now, AI has found its way in to the music-making world. Here, programmers such as myself use AI to create music. We give a music database a set of instructions, and it tries to create a song based upon those instructions. Those instructions are basically the answers to the questionnaire we ask you to complete. It's quite a bit more complicated than that, but that's essentially the basics. 

We're glad you asked. In case you missed them, above are some music snippets of actual songs we've produced here for other clients. Can you tell that everything you hear in those snippets was computer-generated (even the lyrics)? Most people cannot.

We use cutting edge AI to produce it all from the ground up: the beats, the rhythm, the music, the voices. We can even produce the lyrics if that is your wish. 

The computers work at lightning speed, a million times faster than your desktop computer, putting together the beat, the rhythm, the flow, the main vocals and backup vocals, the arrangement, accompaniment, the chord progressions, all the voice inflection and all the rest. 

At a bare minimum, we need an idea of the type of song you want produced: Country? Rap? Pop? Disco? Alternative? Male lead singer or female? Tempo? What kind of vibe?: Is it a fun, summertime song or a deep love song? Is there a song on the radio that you like and wish to emulate? We will have a form for you to complete which will include all of this material.

Provide them if you have them. We can assist with modifying them or finessing them to make them work better.  If you do not have lyrics, we can help with that as well. The more prepared you are before approaching us, the quicker and easier the process will be. 

Your lyrics can be pretty much about anything under the sun. Love songs, pop songs, crazy songs about your dog that plays the piano, rap songs, etc, There is almost no limit to what your songs can be about, or what the lyrics can be, although we may decide to decline to work with clients whose lyrics or song content are too controversial. We have written plenty of songs about sex, straight sex, gay sex, marriage, women who cheat, husbands who cheat, politicians who cheat, and just about every other topic under the sun. 

No. Studios are slowly being replaced with AI technology. I am not saying recording studios are obsolete. They do serve a purpose. It's just that AI can now do nearly all of the functions that a studio can do, for far cheaper, and with far less time involved.  

 We will produce one song for you for $250, or three for $700.

We will produce music for you, as agreed. However, we cannot have AI produce hundreds of edits for you until you find an edit you will like. The overwhelming majority of people land on an AI-produced song version that they like within the first couple days (usually within the first 40 AI attempts). We ask you all sorts of questions from the onset so that we know ahead of time what you're looking for. Those will be the programming vectors we use to steer AI to produce something you will approve of. The one thing you CANNOT do is constantly change the parameters. This means, we don't want to get through five different AI iterations then have you change your mind by saying something like "Let's see what it would sound like in a pop music style." or "Let's see what it sounds like with a male singer instead of a female singer." or "Let's change the tempo to 150 instead of 135. These are all decisions that need to be made BEFORE we start work. Otherwise we are just wasting time producing AI edits you will never approve of. 

We've been able to create songs in as little as four hours before. These have generally been produced for people who know precisely what type of song they want and have it all carefully thought out. They had all the lyrics written out ahead of time, knew the style, the tempo, knew what type of vocals and the whole nine yards. Your production time will vary depending on your pre-production planning.  

I am not discounting an actual studio. They do excellent work, and I have used them many times in my life. But studios have their limitations. First, they may be booked out weeks- or months- in advance. You may need to book time well in advance of your actual studio time. Second, they will almost certainly expect a deposit up front, so you can't back out at the last minute. Third, there is the cost involved. Pushing a song through a studio can cost $3000 - $5000 PER SONG, and often times more. And fourth, there is the time involved. It can take a week to push a song through a traditional studio. However, you do have more creative control when booking a studio. 

Currently, no. It's currently limited to AI producing the music and the vocals. 

And, the absolute truth to the matter is that unless you're a trained singer, you don't want your own vocals on any track. Yeah, we already know: you sound great singing in the shower and you've been singing all your life and everyone who hears you marvels at your singing ability. Unless you're Mariah Carey, Adele or Ariana Grade, no, you cannot sing. Most people make sounds with their mouths while they're talking that they aren't even aware of, so they're almost certainly going to make mouth noises in front of a microphone that they're not even aware of. Unless you're a trained singer, you almost certainly will never sound as good as the voices AI can produce for you. Listen to the sample clips above of music we've produced and ask yourself if you can sing as good as those voices. 

HOWEVER, if you really want your own vocals on to the song, there is that possibility. We can produce you a song with vocals and one without. You would simply listen to the song with vocals and learn how the AI voice sings it, then you sing it yourself in the same or similar fashion, with your vocals replacing the AI vocals. This is very common in the business. Those songs you hear your favorite artist singing.... they didn't "know" how to sing that song. No, some studio produced a "reference song" with some other singer singing the vocals. Your favorite artist listened to it and mimicked the reference vocals so that the end result was the favorite artist's vocals on a song that a reference vocalist sang in the first place. You can do the same. 

Well, you do have the ability to decline any and all AI song attempts. Sometimes you burn through ten or twelve AI versions before AI generates exactly what you're looking for. At some point you're going to hear the version that you like best, frequently within 30 or 40 AI attempts. The one thing we will not have time to do is produce a couple hundred AI attempts for you, hoping you'll find one you like. We don't have that kind of time. If you need that many AI attempts to create the perfect song, then you're better off going to a traditional studio where you have greater artistic control. 

A song is created each time AI tries to create for you. Each one of these is called a "Song attempt", or a "version". Many times the first several don't sound the best, as AI is trying to find its footing. Maybe the beat was off or the lyrics and AI was trying to make something flow and sound good. Sometimes AI can produce a beautiful song on song attempt #5. Sometimes it's #15. Sometimes it's #30. We here at Quantum Muzik reject far more song attempts than we accept. This is because we've been trained to listen for common mistakes AI makes. 

Great! You will receive an MP3 and a WAV file of the same song. You are then free to do with it as you wish: upload it to YouTube, put it on Spotify, try to get it on the radio, share with your friends, etc. You own all the rights to your song.

 
It's very important to have your songs properly protected, and we can help with that too. We can file with the copyright office to have your song submitted and copyright protected, which is strongly suggested. We can also assist with submitting your work to all the streaming platforms. These are additional services for additional fees. It's important that both of these are done properly not only to protect your work but also to get paid from it, if that is your wish.  

No one on the planet does anything for free.

Yes. If after 40 attempts at song versions, you are not satisfied with the results, you may request a refund. However, we will assume that you do not want any of the versions we produced for you, and we will claim them as our own. So, anyone looking up the copyright on the song will see that Quantum Muzik is the owner of the song, not you (since you opted not to pay for it by requesting a refund).

We are giving you the opportunity to hear songs as we produce them. You are given free rein to offer feedback and input as to what you want the song to sound like, allowing us to refine the process for the next AI attempt. So, you have just as much skin-in-the-game as we do, and we make adjustments based upon what you tell us after each AI attempt. At some point you’re going to hear something that sounds just right. At that point, we will ask you if that is the version that you want, and then we send you the higher-quality rendition of the same song. 

When you buy a CD at the record store or DVD, they do not allow returns after you buy and open the package at all.  Similarly, we do not give refunds on songs you approve of.

We first we collect a payment. Then we will ask you to complete a questionnaire that will help us fine tune the type of song you’re looking for. Depending on our workload, we will get to work ASAP. Sometimes this may mean in the next hour, or it may mean we start the following day. We will produce a few AI songs, one by one, which you will get to listen to. You will hear a sample of the song. Sooner or later we produce a song version that you like, the version we end up emailing you as the finished product WILL be radio/ CD quality and will sound just as good as what you hear on the streaming platforms. For most people we can produce a likeable song within 20 – 30 tries. Each attempt brings us closer and closer to a finished product, as we fine tune the process to get closer to the sound you’re seeking. 

Sometimes we get overwhelmed and the wait may be longer. It has taken us up to a week to get a song ready, because we were simply overloaded with work before you came along. 

Unfortunately not. When you go to WalMart, you always pay before leaving the store. They would never let you walk out if you asked them “Can I pay you later?” 

In a way, yes. Traditional studios offer a valuable service, and they deserve to be paid. We simply offer an alternative, just like Wendy’s is an alternative to McDonald’s. What I offer has its benefits, just like a traditional studio has its benefits. 

The question you should be asking is, "How can it cost so little?" 

Compared to a traditional music studio, our cost is extremely low. A traditional studio will cost you about $2500 - $3500 for a SINGLE song, plus require you to book time weeks or months in advance. It will also require you to pay a deposit, which you will lose if you end up cancelling. The deposit is to discourage you from cancelling, because if you cancel they have an empty studio not generating any income. Not only will you have to budget money, you will also have to budget time: factor in about a week per song in the studio. Studios are generally open from 9 – 5pm or so, so you will also have to balance out your work schedule to be in the studio (if you work a traditional 9 – 5 job). 

By comparison, we charge $250, and can sometimes have a song to you the SAME DAY. Sometimes. Not always. 

Look, I understand you can choose from anyone on the net who produces music. To most other producers, you’re just a number. Their goal is to spit out a track ASAP and get you out the door. I am not an assembly line producer, where every song sounds the same, and where I’m under pressure to get you a copycat song ASAP. I do enough business where I can slow down and do the job right. I am not under pressure to get you out the door ASAP. I truly, honestly want you to have an incredible track in your hands that you can show off, just like a brand new car. There are many times when I have to turn down business because I might just have too much work. If I have too much work, I might be tempted to push a song that isn’t quite good enough. I don’t want to push you a song that isn’t quite good enough. 

We produce the music to your liking for the advertised rate. And we do quite well at it! In addition to producing the music, we can also assist with getting your work copyright protected. This is extremely important, but requires some steps many people find daunting. There is a fee to do this, and provides you lifetime protection for your song. Additionally, we can also assist with getting your songs submitted to all the streaming platforms-- also a daunting task. There is a fee for this as well, and is instrumental for getting your songs published and promoted.
