What kind of music do you need for your project?
Think about the style and mood you want. Do you need a jazz musician or someone who plays classical? The right type of music can make your project really special. Knowing the kind of sound you are looking for helps in hiring the perfect musician.
How will you describe the project's theme to the musician?
Be clear about what the project's story or message is. Explain if it's happy, sad, or exciting. This helps the musician understand the emotion you want them to bring out in the composition. The clearer you are, the better they can match your vision.
What are the key deliverables needed from the musician?
List what you expect the musician to deliver, like full songs or sound snippets. Include the formats needed, like MP3 or WAV. Being precise helps the musician know exactly what's needed, avoiding any confusion.
What timeline are you working with for this project?
Consider when you need the final music ready. Check if the musician's schedule matches your timeframe. Having a good timeline ensures that the music is ready when you need it.
How will you evaluate the musician's past work?
Look at their portfolio and listen to their samples. Make sure their previous work matches the style you need. This is an important step to ensure their skills match the requirements of your project.
What is your plan for communication with the musician?
Decide how often you'll have check-ins or updates. Will you talk via email or video calls? Regular communication ensures everyone stays on track and any questions get answered quickly.
How will you share the project details with the musician?
Use any tools supported by Contra to send them a brief or outline. Make sure to include all the important points and expectations. This helps the musician fully understand the project from the start.
Do you have a feedback process in place?
Decide how you'll provide feedback on their work. Set up ways to make this easy and clear for both sides. This ensures the music evolves as the project advances and meets your vision.
How will you ensure the musician has everything needed to start?
Check if they have all access and materials required. Provide any specific guidelines or brand assets. Making sure everything is in place means they can start without delays.
What is your plan to ensure the project's completion?
Set clear milestones and deadlines. Make sure these align with your overall project plan. This gives both you and the musician a clear path to follow until the end.
