Every custom song begins with your story. The difference between packages is the amount of creative guidance, collaboration, consultation, and artistic interpretation included in the process.
Starter Song is the streamlined entry point. Dub Factory Custom adds direct collaboration and greater creative development. Preferred Artist Custom places the project with a selected artist for a more distinctive, artist-led interpretation.
A focused custom song option for customers who already know the message, occasion, memories, and musical direction they want to provide.
The core Dub Factory package for stories that need conversation, creative shaping, direct collaboration, and more room to develop.
A premium custom song completed by a Dub Factory Preferred Artist or 16-Bit Records artist, with pricing established by the selected artist.
Starter Song is designed for customers who are comfortable providing the details through the guided Story DNA process and do not need personal consultation during development.
Complete a structured questionnaire covering the occasion, recipient, relationship, memories, emotional direction, personal details, and musical preferences.
Your submitted details are shaped into lyrics specifically for your project. Names, memories, places, phrases, and emotional goals help keep the song personal.
Starter Song includes one lyric revision round. Requested changes should be submitted together so the revision can be handled as one focused update.
Guided Story DNA intake, custom lyrics, musical style direction, one lyric revision round, production, and digital delivery of the finished song.
Starter Song does not include phone consultation, extended email consultation, unlimited revisions, Preferred Artist completion, commercial release support, lyric video production, or music video production.
Ideal for birthdays, holidays, graduations, simple gifts, playful songs, family moments, and customers who already know what they want the song to say.
Dub Factory Custom is designed for stories that deserve more than a questionnaire. It adds direct collaboration, consultation, creative development, and greater flexibility while the song is being shaped.
Phone and email consultation allow memories, emotional goals, relationships, and important details to be explored beyond the original Story DNA submission.
Dub Factory Studios helps shape the lyrical angle, structure, tone, pacing, emotional target, and musical direction so the project has a stronger creative foundation.
Lyrical revisions are included within the agreed project scope, giving the story room to develop without forcing every important detail into the first draft.
Guided Story DNA intake, custom lyrics, Dub Factory creative direction, production planning, lyrical revisions within project scope, phone consultation, email consultation, and digital delivery.
Preferred Artist completion, standard release preparation, commercial release support, lyric video production, and music video production are separate services unless specifically added to the project.
Ideal for weddings, anniversaries, memorials, deeply personal family stories, milestone events, emotional tributes, and projects where conversation can uncover the strongest material.
Preferred Artist Custom is for customers who want a distinctive creative voice and a more artist-led interpretation. Each artist establishes pricing based on style, availability, production needs, and project scope.
Your song is completed by a Dub Factory Preferred Artist or 16-Bit Records artist selected for their musical identity, creative perspective, and fit for the project.
The selected artist helps shape the arrangement, emotional delivery, style, sound, and final interpretation while remaining grounded in the story you provide.
Preferred Artist packages begin at $249. Final pricing varies by artist, production complexity, requested style, schedule, and any additional project requirements.
Everything included in Dub Factory Custom, plus completion by a selected Preferred Artist, artist-led creative direction, lyrical revisions within project scope, phone and email consultation, and digital delivery.
Release preparation, commercial release support, lyric videos, and music videos are not automatically included unless they are added separately or incorporated into the artist-specific project agreement.
Ideal for customers seeking a distinctive artistic identity, premium collaboration, milestone releases, memorials, anniversaries, weddings, and stories that benefit from an artist’s individual interpretation.
Add-ons can be selected during checkout, production planning, or from an active customer work order when the project needs release preparation or a visual presentation.
Prepare the finished custom song for standard streaming release and distributor submission.
Turn the song into a shareable lyric or karaoke-style video prepared for YouTube and online presentation.
A visual production built around the song’s story, imagery, emotional direction, and overall creative concept.
Commercial release work is handled through Studio Services because it may involve ownership agreements, rights documentation, commercial usage, artist-specific terms, ISRC support, and project review beyond a standard custom song order.
The package is not determined by genre. It is determined by how much collaboration, conversation, revision, and artistic interpretation you want built into the experience.
Choose Starter Song when the message, occasion, mood, names, memories, and key details are already clear and can be communicated through the guided form.
Choose Dub Factory Custom when the emotional meaning is clear but the details, structure, or lyrical direction need conversation and creative development.
Choose Preferred Artist Custom when the identity of the artist and their interpretation are important parts of the finished result.
Dub Factory Studios does not sell the same lyrics or finished song to multiple customers. Each project is shaped from the story, details, direction, and production choices associated with that order.
Choose a package, continue into Story DNA, create or verify your account, and follow the guided process into checkout and production intake.
