    My gig was moved to Game Composers. I'd say my gig leans slightly more towards film/TV, though it was intended for both. Do I need a separate gig now, further pushing up my minimum pricing when I'm still waiting to get the ball rolling for it?

    Up to you there - but we generally recommend having separate gigs for this. Buyers coming from each industry prefer to see samples and experience from one or the other. Let me know if you want your gig moved to the Film & Soundtrack Composers subcategory!

    Hey! My gig just got moved to the new category - which I'm happy about - but this category ("Composing & Soundtracks") still exists within "Music Producers": https://www.fiverr.com/categories/music-audio/producers/composing-soundtracks?source=category_filters - In theory this almost better fits what I'm doing - most of what I'm doing is music production rather than traditional composing. My question is - will this "Composing & Soundtracks" inside Music Producers be deleted then? Otherwise, we have two of the same category and I should probably rather be placed inside the Music Producer category as that's more fitting in terms of methods used within my profession. Don't get me wrong - love this new change - just curious.

    Edit: Looks a little bit like it from this statement: "Music Producers - with Beat Making, Remixing, Backing Tracks, and Ghost Production"
    Excluding "Composing & Soundtracks"

    Hey @nickkold nice to meet you. Good question! "Composing & Soundtracks" will indeed be removed from Music Producers in the next 24 hours. We want to make sure all the gigs in there are moved to their right place first, which takes a bit of time to migrate over.

    Hey everyone! The Fiverr Music & Audio team is always looking for ways to align with industry changes, improve the experience for our buyers, and increase exposure for our freelancers. With that in mind, we’ve made a change to the catalog structure of a few key music services. Here’s an overview:

    🎹 What was once “Producers & Composers” is now 2 separate subcategories

    • Music Producers - with Beat Making, Remixing, Backing Tracks, and Ghost Production
    • Composers - with Film & Soundtracks, Game Composers, Musical Theater, and arrangement

    🎛️ New DJing services - ways for DJs to bring a playlist or party to life. 

    • Mashups
    • DJ Sets
    • Scratching

    🎚️ Custom Patches & Samples - unique ways for buyers to get sounds and presets that match their needs

    • Loops & Samples
    • DAW & Software Presets
    • Synth & Instrument Presets

    With these changes, we’ll be closing the subcategories of Beat Making, Synth Presets, and Remixing & Mashups. 

    What’s needed from your end? Many gigs will be automatically moved to their new subcategories - but make sure all your metadata and pricing factors are up to date, as these may change with the move! Also, feel free to create new gigs to go in these new services to further benefit from the increased exposure. 

    Don’t hesitate to respond here if you have any feedback, questions, or issues with this new setup. I’ll be here responding ✌️

  4. Hey everyone! Exciting news on a new category in Fiverr Music & Audio.

    While a big part of this forum is to provide a place for music & audio enthusiasts to offer honest advice, feedback, and more... we've seen more and more people offer this as a service on Fiverr, and more buyers coming to the platform looking for that type of real and genuine feedback. 

    Because of that, we opened Music & Audio Advice - a place to offer and find services such as:

    • Mixing critique 
    • Songwriting feedback
    • Music business advice
    • Voice over coaching
    • Creative direction mentorship

    It can be tricky for many of us making music/audio on our own to get real input from experts on our work, and another pair of skilled and trained ears on your project goes a long way. Of course, this section in the forum is always open for discussion and input, but if you're looking to lend your ears/thoughts to those that aren't here, feel free to open up a gig in that category!

    While on the topic of advice and feedback - feel free to share any feedback with me on this category if you have thoughts or ideas for improvement!

  5. Looking back at 2021, what were your biggest game changers when it came to gear/plugin upgrades? I'll start!

    Gear: finally got a Shure SM7B to be my versatile, always out microphone, replacing my Blue Baby Bottle. Loving it so far!

    Software/VST: Arturia V Collection. Instant impact when it comes to the music I'm making. Helps me get a bit closer to that analog sound without buying physical synths (maybe in 2022 🤞)

    What about you guys?

  6. Hey everyone! I'm trying to learn more about the world of dubbing, and how it differs from Voice Over. 

    I'd love to hear from VO Artists and anyone that might have experience with dubbing, ADR, etc... Do professionals in these fields have similar skillsets? Is the process of production super different? Is the way dubbing could be bought and sold on Fiverr different than how VO looks?

    Would love to hear any thoughts you guys have on the subject 🎙️

    • WaveLab Pro 10 for mastering; efficient, straightforward, render all formats.
    • Ableton and Max for producing; interactive, versatile, creative.

    Welcome! I believe you’re our first WaveLab user. I could see why you use it for mastering

  8. Didn’t even know this subcategory opened in the forum!

    I have an MKH 416 myself as well. It is fantastic for that punchy vocal tone for commercials and short videos, but might be a bit tiring to the ears for long form narration and audio books. My only real complaint for the 416 is that it can be fairly sibilant at times, so proper positioning is an absolute must and a decent de-esser DAW plug-in helps as well!

    I also have an Electro-Voice RE20, which is perfect for that warm American radio or podcast sound, but isn’t ideal for crisp, clean, super silent background voiceovers due to it’s noise floor without a proper lifter.

    Great having a RE20 in your arsenal. Such a classic sound

  9. Hi Adam and everyone else here. Very cool that there is now a Music and Audio section of the forum! I love it.

    My name is Trevor O’Hare, and I’m a seller in this category. Fiverr has really created an awesome opportunity for audio production folks like myself to make a living, and this past year as a seller on that platform has been a wild ride.

    While I specialize in voice over on the platform, I originally started out with music production. I’m a musician of about 18 years, mainly focusing on guitar. However, I do full on productions for customers that need songs for their projects. All of my audio engineering experience is basically self taught from years and years of recording at home, as well as playing live music and touring with bands across the US. These days, I keep to my home studio and crank out tunes and voiceovers for customers every day.

    I’m excited to hear about everyone’s journey on here! Long live the Music and Audio category. :metal:

    Love it, great to meet you Trevor! Do you feel that your music production and engineering background has really helped you stand out/excel in things like voice over?

    Long live Music & Audio indeed :muscle:t3:

  10. Got into music when I was 16, a new latin-trap artist had emerged from Puerto Rico seemingly out of the blue and I was captivated by his style which made me want to do the same.

    I got into songwriting and started to explore the basics of theory, vocal technique, etc. It led to me purchasing a 66-key and because of financial reasons going into studio or purchasing beats wasn’t a viable option so I decided that I needed to learn everything myself. Started learning guitar, drums, bass, production, mixing, sound design, anything that could help me.

    I got student finance and began my studies, I’ve done a Music Performance course and I’m now two years into a BA, I finally decided around the end of the first year of my BA that I was good enough to freelance which has been a great experience so far.

    Awesome story. Love the mix of self taught + formal education. And have seen your gigs/beats, fire stuff 🔥

  11. Hey everyone!

    I’m Adam, the new Music & Audio vertical manager here at Fiverr. I’m excited to create this new category in the forum for us to talk in depth about anything music & audio related.

    I come mainly from the world of production. Started by playing guitar, drums, and piano, but moved to producing at age 14 or so when my drum teacher showed me Pro Tools. Since then, I’ve studied Audio Engineering in Ohio, worked in studios in Boston and LA, and have been producing and engineering for artists in a variety of genres.

    Would love to hear more about you guys. How’d you get into playing your instrument, producing, engineering, signing…? I’m sure we have some interesting stories here!
