Client case study for serious hobbyists and returning pros
If you have strong musical taste and a clear vision, but your home recordings fall short of the sound in your head, this story is for you. Richard Levinsohn spent years playing in bands, running a studio, and producing at home. What he wanted in retirement was simple and not so simple at all: masters that meet a very high standard, both fully in line with personal preferences and potential industry placement.
This is how Richard partnered with SupremeTracks to take his songs from solid demos to top-shelf, master-quality productions, fully remote and on a clear budget.
Meet Richard Levinsohn
- Background: Started playing at 8. Now 67. Played in numerous bands, including The Rebels, a rockabilly act that opened for Tom Petty and The Clash.
- Studio chops: Ran a recording studio for 12 years, finishing with post-production audio for low-budget films.
- Career detour: 25 years in the car business, retiring as General Manager of a Porsche dealership in Northern California.
- Back to music: Writing and recording again, with high standards for sound and performance.
The Challenge
“I cannot create the quality that I was looking for as I am not a drummer or a pro-quality singer. I also wanted master-quality productions that can be submitted to publishers and recording artists and that feel at home on Spotify and iTunes.”
Richard knew arrangement and production, but he wanted A-level drums, vocals, and a final master that truly competes. He preferred an online solution with real pros, not a patchwork of freelancers.
Why Richard Chose SupremeTracks
- Proof of quality: The before-and-after examples on our site made the difference.
- Professionalism: “You answered my inquiry right away. The level of professionalism is in line with my business background.”
- Trust: A longtime ASCAP member, Richard felt zero concern about IP. “I consider your company a stand-up operation.”
- Value: Cost is always a factor, especially across eight songs, but the quality-to-price ratio felt like a bargain.
The Production Plan We Used
Richard produced his songs with our Star Artist full song production package. Here is the flow you can expect.
Step 1: Vision and references
We align on vibe, references, and how polished you want the end result to be. For Richard, the target was uncompromising: master-ready.
Step 2: Arrangement and pre-pro
Tight song structure, harmonic detail, hooks, transitions, and dynamics so every section earns its place.
Step 3: Elite session rhythm and vocals
We bring in the right drummer, bass, guitars, keys, and a vocalist who fits the song. Tight timing, real feel, and tasteful performance choices.
Step 4: Editing and production polish
Pocket, tuning, texture, and ear-candy where it serves the song. Nothing generic, everything intentional.
Step 5: Mix and master
Balanced, modern mix with translation across earbuds, cars, and hi-fi. Streaming-optimized master plus broadcast and archival formats.
Ownership: You keep your rights. Always.
The Result
- The sound in his head, delivered: “If all I accomplish is having my music sound great thanks to Supreme, I have accomplished what I am looking for.”
- Submission-ready masters: Suitable for publishers and artists, and comfortable on major platforms.
Creative satisfaction first: Richard writes songs he loves. Commercial outcomes are welcome, not required.
“I may be a little different. My true goal is to have my songs produced to pro level for me. I write what I like, not necessarily what is current. If a cut happens, great.”
