Utilizing the above MASTER PRICE SCHEDULE :

You are guaranteed a 3 to 5 day turnaround for the finalization of your product.
This plan is best suited for LARGE PUBLISHERS who wish to have
full blown MASTER tracks for possible LEASING to artist .

In as much as most writers have only one or two songs to produce at a time and ...
In as much as the ... above prices reflect MASTER PRODUCT prices
generally scheduled in one or more three hour blocks ...

We suggest that your demo be done in a more cost-effective manner !

To that end ... we submit package plans for writers with ...
smaller numbers of songs to demo at one time.

During the course of producing MASTER RECORD PROJECTS, which are always done in three hours blocks, we frequently have time remaining and the normal procedure would be to shut down the session and send everybody home.

NOT SO AT THE SOUND CHAMBER!

We utilize this FREE time for the production of the vast majority of songs that come to
SUMNER AND ASSOCIATES for demo production by THE SOUND CHAMBER.

Production in this manner will save the writer considerable money. With this program comes the understanding that your product will be returned ASAP depending of course upon the available time in which to record the basic rhythm tracks.

By using this available time we can offer our writers top quality musicians resulting in master
quality demos at a much more reduced rate than would be available upon a master product session.
