FIRST TIME FREE (CORE BRACKET)

FIRST SONG FREE

Delivered within 10 business days

If you’ve never been a client at Step Up Sound, we have an introductory offer of a free trial of sorts - 1 FREE song edit.

Any work under a couple of hours labor for a single song is under this category. If I estimate the edits will go over, I’ll advise you in advance you’re under the ADVANCED Bracket or above categories and this project of yours no longer falls under the Free category.

* Fair play policy applies. CLICK HERE for policy.

You get two revisions included for free.

Kinds of tasks people usually claim for their first FREE song are:

Shorten song lengths in smooth ways with intentional starts and endings

Song rearrangement and re-imagining

Lengthen songs for group performances

Remove swearing in ways which don’t distract

Something simple, but specific

 

50% off for life

50% off CORE bracket unlimited orders

This means most customers enjoy $9 per song!

This is 50% off with promotional referral program.

Delivered within 10 business days

How does it work?

"If they try, you get a 50% off what you buy”

If the person you refer purchases at least one song, you immediately get 50% off any CORE bracket purchase FOREVER.

(CORE bracket is the regular music editing service)

How do I claim?

Provide the person’s first and last name you referred during your next order.

If they have purchased just one song ever at any price, you’re eligible to claim for the life of Step Up Sound. We’ll cross reference behind the scenes then apply it to the first transaction then send you out a 50% discount code to use at your leisure.

* Active dancers, trainers and gymnasts and their teachers
* Fair play policy applies. CLICK HERE for Fair play policy

When can’t you claim 50% off?

For Priority or Express orders.

If the work in question is deemed more demanding than just the CORE Bracket. Any work under a couple of hours labor for a single song is usually bumped up to a higher bracket. If I estimate the edits will go over, to a new category I’ll advise you in advance and we’ll work together to come up with a solution for your needs.

* Fair play policy applies. CLICK HERE for policy.

Although unlikely, another reason you may not be able to claim: If by accident, or design you attempt forms of exploitation.

The main possibility is to on-sell the work I do as your own.
There are many other circumstances where a client could potentially abuse this extremely low price, so read the fair play policy for more context. CLICK HERE It’s unlikely you will accidentally do this, and if so, I will notify you of this before any deciding on any actions.

Like in the Standard Partner these are the kinds of tasks people usually ask for:

  • Shorten song lengths in smooth ways with intentional starts and endings

  • Song rearrangement and re-imagining

  • Lengthen songs for group performances

  • Remove swearing in ways which don’t distract

  • Something simple, but specific
