What to send first

  • Audio URL or pre-recording question
  • Timestamp of the section that worries you
  • Reference track URL
  • Desired upload date
  • Natural or stronger pitch correction direction
  • Harmony creation or chorus cleanup requests
  • Whether the instrumental/off vocal is cleared for use

Where quotes often drift

ItemDecide before asking
Vocal track countCount main, doubles, harmonies and ad-libs separately
Edit rangePitch only, or timing, noise cleanup and harmony creation too
DeadlineTell the date you want the first version, not only the upload date
ReferenceSpecify vocal distance, space and brightness, not just loudness
Vocal Processing decision map
Move one parameter at a time. A setting you can roll back is part of quality control.

Quick file check

The recording does not need to be perfect. The important checks are clipping, background music bleed and sudden level jumps within the take. If you have not recorded yet, mic distance, room sound and take planning are enough to discuss.

Cover Mix Request Checklist: what to prepare before sending files
Before using Vocal Processing, define the goal, listening point and rollback point.

What CHIBA SOUND STUDIO checks

  • Whether the vocal can sit forward against the track
  • Whether low end and vocal distance survive streaming playback
  • Whether lyrics remain clear on phones, earbuds and low volume
  • Required edit scope and quote direction

If you are not sure

Send the current 15 seconds, or just the pre-recording question. You will receive the improvement scope and quote direction before committing to a full order.

In a free check, the first question is whether the vocal will communicate after upload, not whether the processing sounds impressive in solo.

How FUJI° actually judges it

  • Lock the 15 seconds where You are not sure what to send before ordering appears and compare every change on that same section.
  • Before adding Vocal Processing, separate whether the main cause is recording, pitch, timing or balance against the instrumental.
  • After moving pitch, decide in the full mix, low volume and phone playback before keeping the setting.
