Custom Music for Brands & Creators

Finding the right soundtrack for your project can be a daunting task sometimes. Even if you have a huge library of music at hand offering lots of variety in feel. Some tracks might be closer to what you need but nothing matches the sound in your head like a custom music track would.

No wonder, since every project, every scene conveys a unique feeling. A stock library with pre composed tracks might get you in the ballpark, but if it’s still not feeling right, you may want to reach for some other options.

What is custom music?

You might have noticed that successful films always feature tailor made music which was composed specifically for to play alongside the actions in the movie. Professionals like film directors and producers treat the visuals, story and music as one coherent medium.

Instead of a steady, evergreen backing track, these people prefer music which “breathes” and develops in perfect sync with the story. For a beginner, this relationship between music and visuals, seem like a trivial detail. But it is this aspect of projects which makes them “come alive” and shape the emotional impact.

Music composers, recording engineers and producers work together with the film directors to create a soundtrack which intensifies the emotions being conveyed while being in perfect sync with the images.

While stock music is mostly kept relatively stable in the development of its energy curve to fit a wide range of projects, custom soundtracks perfectly adapt to the actions and emotions in the scene. They can be as bold as a big orchestra playing during a heroic moment or as subtle as a one single, quiet piano note during a key moment in an emotional break-up scene. Both of these examples can be equally as powerful.

That is custom made music and how it differentiates from stock music – and it is not only for films. This principle can be applied to advertisements, corporate show reels, cartoons and even simple online videos.

Where to order custom music?

Once you have your concept down, the traditional route would be to find a music composer, a producer, a recording engineer and many other experts in this field who must be interested in this project (of course) and are specialized in creating the right type of music.

Because, after all you want the music to sound authentic.

This sounds not only like a complex task… it is!

Let’s make this simpler.

What if there was a place bringing all of these experienced musicians and engineers together specialized in syncing custom made music to projects?

Here at HookSounds, our in-house artists and producers have several years of experience creating original music for any project covering in a wide range of musical styles and genres. From the very first draft of an idea, it’s clear that all of our productions must work seamlessly with visuals.

Tell us about your idea and get in touch with us. We are excited to hear your story.

Step-by-Step: Ordering Your Custom Track

Let’s take a look at that exact process in detail:

Step 1: Tell us about your project

Use the form above to tell us about your idea so that our artists will have a good understanding about whats coming up. It’s would be super helpful if you provide a reference track from anywhere online, as this will speak a very clear language to our musicians.

Step 2: Aligning on the details

Once we have received your request, it’s time for us to prepare the recording session. If we feel that we need to know more things about the project, we will get in touch with you via email to clear up some last questions with you.

Step 3: We turn your Vision into Sound

Now this step is where you lean back while we compose the music. How long the production takes will be clearly communicated in the email. In most cases we will be able to give you a good estimate.

Step 4: Polishing the Production

During the production process we will keep a close email contact with you, to make sure things are going in the right direction until we deliver the final product. Here we are going to fine tune the arrangement, altering melodies, removing or adding elements to fit the right vibe.

Step 5: Final Delivery

When you are fully satisfied with the end result, we will deliver the music in your desired audio formats along with the versions or edits you requested in our email communication. If you prefer, the music will be either exclusive to your project or non-exclusive. We are happy to issue a personalized license certificate free of any additional charge for you.

How do we create the music?

Once we receive your request, our in-house composers and producers will get in touch to align the production with your vision. Our musicians work around the world from the comfort of their home studios, each specializing in a different style and genre while having access to state of the art recording gear and software.

At HookSounds, we believe music has to be authentic. That is why our musicians (as long as the genre and style of music allows it) use real instruments instead of programming sounds on a computer.

One of the key factors that sets us apart from many other companies in the industry is our belief that music created by humans carries a unique emotional depth. That human touch is what ultimately gives films and videos their true character and individuality and the reason we do not use artificial intelligence in the entire music creation process.

This organic approach is what separate bland, overused music from professional productions that resonate with people.

We can talk at length about the quality of our music, but the best way to understand it is to listen for yourself. Take a moment to experience our production standards:

How much does custom music cost?

Major film studios often allocate thousands of dollars to hire composers for the soundtrack of their next blockbuster. While that may be the standard for large international productions, our pricing is designed to be far more flexible.

We offer options that suit a wide range of creators—from the YouTubers who is just getting started all the way to professional film productions for Cinema and Television.

The exact cost of a project can vary depending on several factors, including the length and complexity of the music, the number of custom music tracks required, and the intended use. Additional considerations such as exclusivity rights and your available budget can also influence the final price.

How long does it take to produce tailored music?

Same as with price, the duration depends on the scope of the project. The factors which influence the duration the most are things like track lengths, amount of deliverables and complexity. Quick projects are ready within 3-5 business days while the production process of big projects can take up to (several) weeks.

Before our experts start the production, we will communicate the estimates duration together with you, considering any deadlines you have.

Make your Projects sound Original with HookSounds

Now that you know how powerful custom music can be for a project, it’s clear that visuals, storytelling, and music need to work together seamlessly. When these elements are not aligned, the message can feel cluttered, weak, and far less convincing for your audience.
