The price is based on the complexity of the music where a soundscape or ambient track will be the cheapest and complex orchestral music the most expensive. The base rate is USD $100 per minute of exclusive music and the duration after the first minue of a track is discounted based on the complexity. Sounds confusing? Get some suggested pricing here:
How I create music to fit your game?
The music is created based on your directions, game description, screenshots, videos, and playable demos when available.
Why you don't need to worry about becoming unhappy with the result?
Payment is made upon delivery when you are happy with the result. If you are not happy with a track it is (within reason) modified based on your feedback. In the rare event that a track is very different from what you need it is instead added to the non-exclusive library and I'll start over again =)
What audio file formats do I deliver?
Drafts are delivered as OGG or MP3 files based on your preference. Once you are happy with a track and payment is made you get the original WAV file (16bit 44.1KHz) and a PDF license granting you the exclusive use of the track in your game. If you want the music encoded in a a special format and bit rate to suit your needs I can help with that free of charge.
