Musiversal is the world's first online recording studio. We provide session musicians with a steady flow of remote recording sessions and a stable monthly income as a result, reinventing the paradigm of music production in the process. Having launched just over a year ago, our monthly subscription service Musiversal Unlimited now has more than 70 session musicians, producers and audio engineers on its world-class roster, delivering more than 5,000 livestream sessions every month.

We're looking for talented session steel guitarists to join our fast-growing platform!

Monthly payment will start at $1,000 per month to work for 16 hours and 40 minutes per week. You will have the opportunity to increase your hours every 2 weeks, with a proportional pay increase up to 42 hours per week ($2,500 per month).

Ideally, we’re looking for you to be available for remote session work at the following times:

Weekdays; 5pm - 11pm in any US time zone
Weekends; 8am - 11pm in any US time zone

Requirements

- You are an experienced session musician, with a proven track record of studio work

- You are very comfortable with both the lap-steel and the pedal steel, different music styles, sight-reading and improvising

- You are very comfortable receiving client feedback live and adapting to it in real-time

- You are proficient working with a DAW (Logic, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Cubase, etc)

- You have great, high-quality instruments

- You have a professional home-studio setup that includes high-quality gear (microphones, preamps, amps, audio interface, etc) and proper acoustic treatment

- You have an internet connection with a minimum of 30mbps of actual (not contracted) UPLOAD speed and an ethernet cable

* In the specific case of steel guitarists, it's a massive plus to offer a wider variety of instruments. I.e, ideally, you can offer something like: lap-steel, pedal steel, dobro, banjo and baritone guitar.
