FAQ
Good questions.
Everything you might want to know before we start. Don't see yours? Write to hello@analog-supply.com.
Working together
How do I know which service I need?
Start with a Creative Sound Strategy session. In 60 minutes, we'll define what your brand should sound like and recommend the right next step. The $500 is credited toward any project booked within 60 days.
Do I have to be on Slack or Notion?
No. We work inside your tools when that's easiest, and email works too.
Do you work with agencies, including white-label?
Yes. We can be a credited partner in the room or work quietly under your name. White-label work is priced higher, to make up for the credit and portfolio use we give up.
Process & timelines
How long does a project take?
Most projects take 2–4 weeks from kickoff to final delivery. If you have a hard date, tell us up front. Rush timelines are available.
How many revisions do I get?
Two rounds are included with every project. Additional rounds can be added if you need them.
What does the Sound Guidelines process look like?
Three steps: an Intro Call to confirm fit, a Story Session where we dig into your brand, and a Sound Session where we present your guidelines and play your sonic logo and theme for the first time.
Rights & licensing
Do I own the music?
You get an exclusive license to use it for 24 months, with the option to renew at the end of the term. We keep the master recordings. Anything you've already published stays licensed for good, and your sonic logo and theme stay exclusively yours.
Will my music get flagged on YouTube?
No. We never register client music with YouTube's Content ID, so your videos won't be claimed or demonetized.
Do you collect performance royalties?
Yes. As the composer, we register our music with our performing rights organization and keep the writer's share of performance royalties when it airs on TV, radio, or streaming. It costs you nothing. For broadcast placements, we'll just ask for the cue sheet or air dates.
Can you work with samples or existing songs?
Yes. We can clear samples and coordinate licensing as part of a project, as we did for Judith Speaks. Licensing costs are quoted separately.
Pricing & the retainer
Why do you publish prices?
So you know where we start before you spend time on a call. Every quote is itemized and set by scope, usage, and timeline.
What happens after the first six months?
Your retainer renews automatically, month to month, so nothing interrupts your sound. We'll send a reminder 30 days before renewal and check in with you to review what's working. You can adjust or wrap up anytime with 30 days' notice.
What if I don't use all 20 studio hours in a month?
Hours don't roll over. They keep your monthly time reserved, so we're always ready when you need us.
