FILE STORAGE AND MULTITRACKS/STEREO FILES
After and during each session the clients project files will be backed up to the hard-drive and back-up drive.
From time to time older files/projects may be deleted from the hard-drive. Lonely Hawk Studio will endeavour to contact the clients of these project files prior to deletion.
It is highly reccomended that the client informs the Sound Engineer at the beginning of the first session what their intention is with the recording, eg. whether it is for demo purposes, personal, or for commercial release. The intention will help the sound engineer make recording decisions.
Recordings will be released at the end of each session as required by the client for review purposes in WAV. and/or MP3. file formats.
Final recordings will also be released in WAV. and/or MP3. file formats.
Multi Track/Stem files will not be released unless requested at the first session that further recording, mixing or tracking is not required by Lonely Hawk Studio (It is common now for clients to complete their projects on their laptops at home once the drums are recorded). In this case, if Multi-tracks are the only requirement, then once transferred to the client they will be deleted off the Lonely Hawk Studio hard-drive.
OWNERSHIP AND COPYRIGHT
It is expected that the client either owns the copyright or has obtained the correct license/permissions to the songs/music/content, that the client intends to record, if it is intended for commercial release.
