Frequently Asked Questions

How will I get the music?

    Once we have agreed on a price for the rental, a rental contract will be sent to you.   You will need to sign the contract and send payment to us.   Once we receive those two items, we will send you a link to the music.  You can then download the music to any device to play in your theatre. 

How soon can I get the music?

     If we already have the show in our catalog the music is usually delivered to you electronically within a few hours of us receiving your contract and payment

How can I play the music?

    Once you download the tracks, you can put them on any device of your choosing or burn them to a CD.   All we ask of you is to destroy and delete all copies of the music when the show is over (which is included in the rental contract agreement).

How can I get the music in a different key or get the music cut?

   We know that sometimes you may have singers that do not fit in the range of the musical track.   Each rental comes with two hours of studio time that can be used to make key changes and music cuts.  When requesting these changes there are some things to consider.   Key changes are done to the complete file using audio software.   Usually a change up or down a step or two turns out good.   If you do a major key change you will be able to notice unwanted audio 'artifacts' in the music and it won't sound as good.  Music cuts are relatively simple to do, however, sometimes there are key changes between the cuts.  In such cases the cuts may not transition and will be noticeable.  

I don't see the show that I want on the list.   Can you make it for me?

   We don't have every show recorded.  We are constantly updating our catalog with shows as we create them.  If you have a show coming up that we don't have, still contact us to see what the possibilities are.  We may be able to find it from a 'partner' theater or put it high on the priority to do next.  

How are the tracks made?

  A lot of work goes into making the tracks.  We have to obtain all the instrumental books, create a 'session' of the show (which includes time signature and tempo changes) then schedule the musicians to record their parts.  We won't give too many secrets to what we do, but lets just say that it costs us thousands of dollars and uses hundreds of man hours to create a show track.  

How can I lower my cost?

    We realize that everybody wants a great deal.  At the same time it does take a lot of money and time to build a show track.   We have to pay our musicians, pay Uncle Sam,  and run a business.  Those things are not cheap.  However, if you recommend other theatres to rent our music, you can get a rental credit for referring other theatres.  They will need to mention your name or theatre when filling out the quote request form.  

How can I market the show?

     Facebook and social media are great tools to help you sell tickets to your show.   By having a facebook page and having your cast advertise on facebook more people will be aware of your theatre and the shows you are performing.  Update your facebook page often with what is happening at your theatre.
