How it works & Q&A

How it works

  1. Tell me what you needChoose your projects, tell me what each one needs and set its length, add the link to your video or references, then pay the quote fee. It starts the study of your request, and your client area “My sound design quotes” is created.
  2. I study your briefI watch your video and go through your references. If something is missing or unclear, I ask you in your client area.
  3. Approve & payYour quote arrives in “My sound design quotes”, valid for 14 days. Ask for changes, or approve it and pay the final price (the quote fee is deducted).
  4. Get your soundsI upload your sounds to your client area, in the formats you need (WAV, stems…), agreed together. Files stay available for 60 days.

Quick answers

How is the price worked out?

Every project starts at 120 €, which covers up to 0:30. Then each extra second adds 3 € up to 1:00, and 2 € per second after that. Game or app sounds: 120 € covers up to 5 sounds, then 20 € per sound up to 10 sounds, and 15 € per sound after that. In Step 2, the first tick of each project is included; each extra tick adds 30 €. What you write in the open box doesn’t change the price. Examples: a 30-second ad = 120 €, a 60-second ad = 210 € (with 3 ticks = 270 €), a 3-minute trailer = 450 €, 20 game sounds = 370 €. Each project can be up to 3 minutes long; longer, just contact me. These prices are estimates: I confirm the final price after listening to your request.

Can I ask for several projects at once?

Yes: in Step 1, choose how many projects you have (up to 10) and the kind of each one, then tell me what each one needs. Each project has its own price, and the summary in Step 3 adds them up.

What can I ask for?

Commercial or ad: Full sound design pass, Whooshes, hits & transitions, Ambience bed, Foley, Logo sting, Sound mix of the final piece, Music-bed integration · Social video: Full sound design pass, Whooshes, hits & transitions, Ambience bed, Foley, Logo sting, Sound mix of the final piece, Music-bed integration · Trailer or teaser: Full sound design pass, Whooshes, hits & transitions, Ambience bed, Foley, Logo sting, Sound mix of the final piece, Music-bed integration · Logo or intro sound: Logo sting, Whooshes, hits & transitions, Sound mix of the final piece, Music-bed integration · Game or app sounds: UI sounds, Sound effects, Foley, Ambience loops · Sound effects or ambiences: Sound effects, Foley, UI sounds, Ambience bed · Custom project: anything else, you name it and describe it. Tick it or describe it in “What do you need?”: the first tick of each project is included, each extra tick adds 30 €, and the rest of the price depends on the length (or the number of sounds).

What should I send?

The video (a work-in-progress cut is fine), or for games and apps a list of the sounds with a screenshot or a short capture. Add your references (YouTube links, sounds you like) and a few words about the feel you want. Just paste a GrosFichiers, Google Drive, WeTransfer or Dropbox link in the form.

Which formats will I get?

The formats you need: WAV, separate stems (effects, ambiences, music), game-ready loops… Tell me what you need and I’ll prepare them that way. Clear file names are always included.

How many revisions are included?

3 revisions are included: after each listen, send me your list of changes and I apply it in one go. Each extra revision: +15 €.

Do I pay when I send the request?

Only the 10 € quote fee. It starts the study of your request (your brief, your video and preparing your quote) and is deducted from your final quote. The sound design itself is paid only once you approve the quote.

How long is a quote valid?

14 days. After that, just send me a message in your client area and I’ll update it.

What if you can’t take my request, or I don’t go ahead?

The 10 € quote fee is refunded.

How long can I download my files?

60 days after each delivery, then they are deleted from the site. You get a reminder email 7 days before, so save them on your computer or drive.
