How do Composers (Beat Makers) submit tracks?
Composers can submit tracks by emailing 1 full or snippet instrumental to Composers@CSPMusicGroup.com. If we like what we hear we will respond using the contact information you provided. Be sure to include 2 phone numbers and your email address in the email with the track. If you do not hear from us this means we didn't see your track of use so send one of your BEST!

I’m a songwriter, how do I get involved in CSP Music Group’s Writing Sessions?
Once a month, usually on weekends we have our Writers Orientation meeting, this is where we invite new writers to be involved in the opportunity to be invited to our Writing Session. We use Facebook (Facebook/CSPMusicGroup.com) & our website to post the dates for the sessions. Writers must RSVP via Facebook when they see the invite posting.

What is a writing session?
A writing session is a private studio session where writers are invited to write to instrumentals and record demos. The writing sessions are by invite only. Writers must attend the orientation before being invited to the writing session.

What happens during the Writers Orientation?
We will explain the purpose of our goals, allow writers to listen to our previous catalogs from writing sessions, present a few instrumentals from our catalog and allow writers to write and collaborate with other writers, explain how split sheets work.

What is the difference between Studio time and (what we offer) Project Based Studio Time?
Studio time is using a engineer who is not creatively involved in what you recording. The engineer is simply paid by the hour and focus is to deliver a quality recording. Project Based studio time allows you to work with a producer who consults with you about the vision of the overall project and is actively involved in assisting you in your creation.
