CAPTURE YOUR SOUND!

Capturing great performances at the highest possible quality is what audio recording is all about. It is a fascinating combination of art and science. The right tools can help you achieve phenomenal recordings, and the right creative atmosphere can make your recording process a magical experience.

As your recording engineer, I oversee both artistic and technical elements of the recording session. My goal is to capture quality musical performances, essence and personality onto your recordings.

Wether it’s recording voice, a full band or a single instrument, I believe that attention to detail, use of right technique, combined with top of the line equipment can make the difference between a decent recording and a remarkable one.

 

SELECT A STUDIO THAT’S RIGHT FOR YOU

Not all studios fit every project and one of the most daunting aspects of the recording process for most people is simply finding the studio that is right for them. Many will go through the process of trial and error when looking for a studio which can be costly, and may give you results that you may not have necessarily expected.

As a freelance recording engineer, I can you assist in your decisions on where you’ll get the best service and, of course, the best results. I have developed a relationship with multiple studios in the New York area, and I know and understand how each studio cater to different artists needs.

There are a few things to consider before choosing a studio for your project; Price, equipment, space and environment. Depending on your specific needs and the scope of your project, I ensure to select the right studio that will capture and document your music in the best way possible, and is cost effective.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

WHAT ARE YOUR HOURS FOR RECORDING?

I don’t have set hours per say. Everything is by appointment, but I don’t usually like to record before 9 am or after 11pm. Fill out the Project Planner if you’d like to set up a session or set up a special appointment.

HOW FAR AHEAD DO I NEED TO BOOK?

With as much notice as possible. To guarantee your preferred days, please contact me as soon as you have decided on your schedule.

HOW DO SESSION TIMES WORK?

Your session time starts from when you, or your crew, arrive and ends once all equipment is packed down and you leave the facility. A good setup is key to a smooth session and takes time to complete. Please ensure you account for the time it takes you to setup, backup session files and pack down your equipment when planning your day.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECORD VOCALS?

It all depends on how prepared you are. You also need to factor the amount of vocal stacks and overdubs needed to complete the song (harmonies, backgrounds, doubles, etc.). I have seen artists come in knock out their takes in a few hours, on the other hand I have seen artists take a whole day to finish a song.

I AM A SPOKEN WORD ARTIST, CAN YOU HELP?

Yes! I record poets, narrators, and other artists not working with accompanying music. Please note that there's a three-hour minimum for recording sessions.

HOW MUCH TIME DOES MY BAND NEED TO BOOK TO RECORD AN ALBUM?

Every project will vary, but a good rule of thumb is to book one day per song for a typical indie-rock band (guitar/bass/drums/vox). A well-rehearsed, four-piece band recording a 10-song full-length record can usually get basic tracks recorded in 3-5 days and overdubs recorded in 1-2 days. Projects with more instrumentation and complexity will take longer and projects with less instrumentation and complexity will take less time.

DO YOU TRACK BANDS LIVE OR MULTI-TRACK?

Both! In our planning conversations, we’ll talk about what makes the most sense to capture your energy and produce the best recordings, and discuss how you intend to use the recording when it is finished. If you are recording a song for commercial release and distribution, then it is best to record each track separately.

CAN YOU FIND A DRUMMER AND OTHER MUSICIANS FOR MY SESSION?

More than likely! I work with a coterie of fiercely emotive, highly skilled musicians that can add drums, bass, guitar, strings, horns, synth, piano and even theremin to your music. Please note, it's an additional fee to hire studio musicians.

WILL YOU COME RECORD US WHERE WE LIVE?

Sure! It often makes more sense for me to come to you rather than flying in 5 to 6 people to me.

WHAT IF I NEED TO RESCHEDULE OR CANCEL A RECORDING SESSION?

If you’re scheduled for recording and you encounter an unexpected conflict, I will work with you to reschedule your sessions as soon as possible, but please understand that studio and production schedules stay pretty full so flexibility may be necessary. Immediate rescheduling may not be possible. Individual session musicians, gear rental providers, and recording studios may have their own policies about rescheduling.

All payments are non-refundable once paid. If a session is canceled, you will receive a company credit in the amount of the payments received. Credits can only be applied to the services for which they were originally paid. Any credits not used within thirty days of the original invoice date will be forfeited. Payments made to compensate session musicians, hire gear, or pay for studio space are non-refundable and non-creditable.

HOW DO I BOOK A SESSION WITH YOU?

Fill out the Project Planner to book a session. Provide as much information as possible and we’ll discuss scheduling and pricing. When you’re ready to move forward, we’ll confirm a day and time, and book a studio that suits your project.

CAN I CONTACT YOU FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION?

Of course! Feel free to Contact Me for further information.
