Services
Texas Time Artist Services takes great pride in all professional services that we offer while focusing on working closely with our clients towards common goals.
→ Artist Development - This really encompasses everything that needs to happen to make sure that an artist or band is successful and gains attention and eventually acquire royalties/revenue. It includes such items as publicity, social media marketing, creative marketing, booking shows, live performance aspects, stage presence, web development, radio promotion, songwriting and material selection, recording & production aspects, sound career advice, song registrations (with Performing Rights Societies, SoundExchange, MLC - Mechanical Licensing Collective), product development aspects and more. Every band or artist is unique and requires different customized plans, consultation and development.
→ Radio Promotion - Over the years we've been part of many artists teams helping further their careers by assisting them with Press Releases about Singles/CDs/EPs and gaining traction/spins and radio chart success on the American County Music Chart, CDX TRACtion charts, NACC (North American College & Community Radio), Roots Music Report, Texas Country Music Chart, Texas Music Chart and Texas Regional Radio Report. We've also assisted artists with gaining additional spins with Pandora/SiriusXM Radio and with various on-line streaming services. Please visit our Radio Promo page for additional info or send us an email today.
→ Production Services - We've taken on the role of producer with many projects we've recorded. In this capacity, we become extremely involved with every aspect of the project. A producer can help you get from having an idea in your head to getting a finished quality product in your hand. Planning and overseeing different aspects of the production all along the way, producers can assist you with budgets, schedules, studio time and rates, hiring musicians or playing many instruments on the tracks, co-writing, arranging and pre-production all the way through recording, mixing and mastering the final product. Producers help facilitate efficiency and guidance throughout the recording process.
→ Booking Services - Over the years, we've networked and built up relationships with talent buyers, club contacts, other booking services, and many individuals throughout the Texas music scene. We've assisted various bands and/or singer-songwriters with booking additional shows. We've booked talent at festivals, nightclubs, and private events. We're selective of projects that we work with in this capacity, and charge a typical 10 - 25% booking fee.
→ Recording Services - Our business partners (see Wonderland Studios) have recorded projects with hundreds of artists/bands, worked closely on projects with freelance engineers/producers and various mastering engineers, and been involved with audio production for video/media projects, audiobooks, educational projects and with production of voice-over and radio ads (see video at bottom of page for further details). We usually deliver masters via digital files (WAVs, mp3s, AIFF) or on CD (16-bit), DAT (24-bit), DVD, or directly upload audio projects to the clients specified FTP address or CD manufacturer. On some occasions, files have been provided on usb/firewire/thunderbolt drives.
→ Website Design - Texas Time Artist Services work closely with our design team from Wonderland Studios, CoyoteMusic, Amplify Texas - digital marketing / web services and other select organizations to offers bands/artists and related businesses, website development and site maintenance including custom graphic design, various programming aspects, online marketing and multimedia design. Some sites developed by Wonderland Studios, CoyoteMusic or Amplify Texas, include * Texas Time Artist Services, * Wonderland Studios, * Amplify Texas, * CoyoteMusic * Texas Evolution * Accidental Confessions and a number of band/artist sites.
→ Musician Services - Do you need to find musicians for your band? Have a live show or tour coming up? Need musicians for your tracks in the studio? Do you need someone to play guitar (acoustic, electric, slide), drums, bass, organ, percussion, sing background vocals? What about programming drums or special effects or adding some piano, keyboards or strings to your song? Basically, whatever additional musicianship is needed for a project, we've got you covered. We have a lot of contacts throughout the Austin music scene, and we're also musicians, and in many cases we can find the right performer for the job. Each musician usually charges a little bit different rate. Many of our studio musician friends will cut their typical rates (special deals) for working with us on another project.
→ Press Kit Services - Consultation, design and implementation of professional press kits and/or EPK (Electronic Press Kits). Without effective, attractive and concise press kits, your music has a much better chance of being heard by the trash can than industry contacts. The press kit is the first and often last impression that a potential club owner, radio program director, magazine editor, label executive or CD reviewer gets of a given artist/band. You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
→ Reviews/Critiques - Want media coverage or quotes for your press kit? Our business partners at CoyoteMusic review full-length albums, EPs, demos and live performances. New reviews are periodically posted and include a track listing, the artist's hometown and a link to the artist's website.
→ Guitar / Bass / Drum Lessons, or Audio Engineering/Production Lessons - Our partners at Wonderland Studios, and CoyoteMusic started offering these service a few years back. Lessons are taught at the studio. Guitar, Bass or Drum lessons are $30/hr, and we'll work with any level of student. Engineering/Production lessons are taught with the hands-on approach, so the student can learn in a real studio environment, physically touching the recording console, gear and computers and learning as we work through projects. These lessons also start at $30/hr.
