A: Musical Branding is the distinguishing of products, services or ideas through sounds or music. Music provides the audience with memorable, powerful, and emotional associations with names or ideas.
Q: How fast can I get a musical product into my hands?
A: The process that we use to guarantee your complete satisfaction with your custom music can be accomplished in as little as two business days.
Q: What is the process for getting my music?
A: We start with an interview and research on your basic information, brand and your surrounding market. Our writers then produce a 'moch-up' of the music and deliver it on email. Your first moch-up is free, any additional concepts will cost whatever production time our design services require at $25/hour.Pending your approval we sign an intent-of-purchase with a down payment, finish the recording, master it, and deliver it for your final inspection. If you are completely satisfied with your musical product, we have two ways we can go: 1.) if your intended use is in a single media market area for a local single-location business, we sign over the copyrights to you, collect the final payment, and the recordings are yours! 2.) if your intended use is over multiple media market areas for a multiple-location business or franchise, we collect collect the final payment and hand over the master recordings, but maintain the copyrights. After 13 weeks of usage, we charge an additional $15 per media market area (the internet counts as one market area), and collect every 13 weeks of usage for a re-use fee.
Q: How long can we use the music?
A: To prevent inconvenient usage regulations we sell most of our custom music forth-right, and submit full ownership and lifetime use to the client. This would include personal use, or single-location businesses that cater to their specific region. Exceptions to this are music for film, songs for performing/recording artists, and advertising music for television, internet or radio that is intended for national, or high-volume broadcast. Please email for "re-use fee" details: mike@eartohearproductions.com

A: We at Ear to Hear Productions stand behind our musical products. Although by contract Ear to Hear Productions is not responsible for any other alterations of the material after the copyright has been signed over to you, we will adjust any perceived blemishes in the sound or file type at no cost. Creative alterations, however, will be addressed by case scenario.

A: Ear to Hear Productions is not responsible for the installment of the custom music that is designed for you. Installment of your custom music can be accomplished by your web designer, phone service provider, or any radio/television production team.
