Ghost Production

Ghost Production FAQs

• What is a ghost producer, and how do they differ from traditional music producers?

  A ghost producer creates or produces original tracks for other artists, including beats, instrumental parts, or vocals. Unlike traditional producers, ghost producers aren’t credited for their work. In traditional production arrangements, producers are credited and receive a share of the royalties. On the other hand, ghost producers remain uncredited but receive a one-time payment—often a hefty sum—for their services. Depending on the ghost producer you’ll be working with, they can create full, original tracks, remixes, or work from your given sample. Some artists prefer to work with ghost producers for many reasons. They could be experiencing writer’s block, need to create and sell more beats, or simply need music production experts.

• How can I find a reputable ghost producer to work with?

  Networking or asking for recommendations from other industry professionals is always a good place to start. Alternatively, you can try looking for ghost producers using online platforms. One of the easiest ways to find a reputable ghost producer is through Fiverr, which offers a wide range of talent specializing in ghost production services. Search for service providers based on genre, production style, software used, ratings, and service inclusions.

• What is the process like for working with a ghost producer?

  The process will vary from one ghost producer to another. To give you a general idea, some freelancers will ask you to tell them about your vision for the piece, while others may require you to give them samples or references. Once you’ve finished the initial discussions, the ghost producer will set out to create a demo to ensure you’re both on the same page. Once you approve the demo, the producer can complete the track. Lastly, you’ll discuss the finished piece with your producer, especially if you have any feedback that you want to incorporate into the track.

• Can I retain full ownership of the music created by a ghost producer?

  When you work with a ghost producer on Fiverr, you retain all rights to the track. You won’t need to credit the ghost producer; they’re technically obligated to give you full track ownership. If you have any questions or other concerns, feel free to send your ghost producer a message.

• How do I ensure the quality of the track that I receive from a ghost producer?

  Before hiring a freelance ghost producer, you can review their portfolio, ratings, and reviews from previous clients to get an idea of their skill level and quality of work. You can also request samples of their previous work to ensure that their production style matches your preferences.

• What is the typical turnaround time for ghost production services?

  Like ghost producer rates, turnaround time tends to vary. Some service providers may require an additional fee to expedite orders. If you want a more specific timeframe, use Fiverr’s “Delivery Time” filter to specify your preferences. There are freelancers who can deliver your completed track in as fast as 24 hours.
