You don’t need a producer in your city to make a professional record. Online music production connects you with an experienced producer who fits your genre, your budget and your timeline — wherever you both happen to be. Tell us about your project below and we’ll match you with a vetted partner producer, free of charge.
How online music production works
- Tell us about your project — use the form below to describe what you’re making, your genre, timeline and rough budget.
- We match you with a vetted producer — we only refer partners we’ve screened, and because the work is online, we match on fit rather than postcode.
- Work together remotely — you share demos, stems and references through cloud folders, and give feedback over calls or notes on time-stamped previews.
- You get release-ready files — final masters, plus stems and session exports if you agree them up front.
In practice, most projects start with a short kickoff call or email thread. The producer listens to your demo and references, asks about the sound you’re chasing, and comes back with a plan: what they’ll build, how many revision rounds are included, and when you’ll hear the first version. From there the rhythm is simple — they send a draft, you leave notes, they revise. Because feedback happens on your own time rather than in a booked room, you can live with a mix for a few days before responding, which usually leads to better decisions than reacting on the spot.
One thing worth agreeing before any money changes hands: exactly what you’ll receive at the end. “Finished track” means different things to different producers, so confirm in writing whether the price includes stems, instrumental and a cappella versions, session files, and mastering — and how many revision rounds are covered before extras are billed.
What you can get done online
- Full production — turn a demo, voice memo or lyric sheet into a finished record
- Beats & instrumentals — custom production built around your vocal or topline
- Vocal production — comping, tuning and arrangement of vocals you record at home (see our guide to recording vocals at home)
- Arrangement & songwriting support — structure, instrumentation and co-writing input
- Mixing & mastering — usually included or added at the end; you can also request it separately via our online mixing & mastering service
Why work with a producer online?
The best producer for your record is rarely the nearest one. Working online means you choose on sound and track record instead of geography, you’re not paying big-city studio overheads, and sessions fit around your schedule — most of the collaboration is asynchronous, so time zones matter less than you’d think. If you’d rather be in the room, that works too: choose the in-person option in the form and we’ll match you with a studio you can travel to instead.

How we vet partner producers
We don’t run an open marketplace where anyone can list themselves. Every partner producer is screened before we refer a single artist to them: we listen to released work they can prove they made, check that credits and claims hold up, and look at how they handle communication — clear scoping, sensible turnaround estimates and written agreements on deliverables. If an artist reports a bad experience, we follow up, and partners who don’t meet the standard are removed from the list. That’s also why matching stays free for artists: partners value the referrals, and we only keep referring people who deliver.
Tell us about your project
Pick “Music production — online” in the form (or the in-studio option if you want to work in person) and give us as much detail as you can — genre, references, number of tracks and timeline all help us make a better match.
What to expect on price
Rates vary a lot, because “production” covers everything from polishing a demo you’ve already recorded to building a track from a lyric sheet with session players. As a rough guide: a straightforward single-track production from an experienced independent producer typically lands in the low-to-mid hundreds of dollars; add live musicians, extensive vocal production or a producer with major credits and you can expect four figures per track. Multi-track projects are usually quoted per song, often with a modest discount for an EP or album booked in one go.
Treat any figure you see online — including these — as a starting point, not a promise. The honest answer depends on scope, and a good producer will quote after hearing your demo, not before. Pick the budget bracket in the form that feels realistic and we’ll match you with partners who actually work in that range, rather than someone who’ll stretch your budget past breaking.
Who online production is — and isn’t — for
Online production works best when you can capture your core performance yourself — vocals recorded at home, guitar DIs, MIDI sketches or a solid voice memo — and you want expert hands on everything around it. It suits independent artists on a defined budget, songwriters who need a full track built under a topline, and anyone whose ideal producer simply doesn’t live nearby.
It’s a poorer fit if your record depends on capturing a full band playing together in one room, if you need heavy hands-on coaching through every take, or if you know you work best reacting in person. None of those are dealbreakers — they just point to an in-studio match instead, and the same form handles that: choose the in-person option and we’ll match you with a studio rather than a remote producer.
Online music production FAQs
How much does online music production cost?
It varies with scope — a single-track production sits in a very different bracket to an EP with session musicians. The budget ranges in the form are enough for a first match; for a detailed breakdown, read our guide to how much a music producer costs.
How do I send my files?
Your matched producer will set up a shared cloud folder and tell you exactly what they need — typically your demo or voice memo, any stems you already have, and two or three reference tracks. No special software is required on your side.
How long does a project take?
For a single track, expect roughly two to six weeks from kickoff to final files, depending on the producer’s schedule and how quickly you turn feedback around. Larger projects scale from there. If you have a hard deadline — a release date or sync submission — put it in the form so we only match you with partners who can hit it.
Who owns the finished music?
That’s set by your agreement with the producer, so get it in writing before work starts. Typical arrangements are either a flat fee where you keep the master outright, or a lower fee combined with a production royalty or points on the track. Neither is wrong — just make sure the split is agreed up front, along with whether the producer takes a songwriting credit for creative contributions.
What if I only need mixing or mastering?
Then skip the producer entirely — request an engineer through our online mixing & mastering page instead.
No spam, no obligation — we’ll only use your details to connect you with the right partner, and matching is free for artists.
