Full Music Production

We offer full production here from pre-production, tracking to mixing. Production is never a one size fits all because every artist is different and every song has diverse needs. The benefit of having a experienced producer is where the value is, many say it has been invaluable.

Building on the strengths of the artist and knowing when to stay out of the way is a true art form, one that only comes with experience. Other times my job as a producer is just to be a good documentarian of the project and capture the artist in a moment that represents them, communication prior to the record starting is the best way to achieve the level of production that each artist is looking for.

From acoustically designing a whole studio down to a garage remodel we have you “covered”.

We provide solutions so that you can hear only what you should hear. That includes eliminating and controlling sound when the environment is intended to maintain privacy. By designing solutions through noise & vibration control, you can be confident the sound coming in and out of a given space is controlled and contained.

Our acoustical consultant provides recommendations to improve the acoustical qualities (including noise level, sound isolation, room acoustics, or vibration) of a space to the client (who may be an architect, building owner, building tenant, or resident). Spaces in need of treatment can include existing rooms, new construction or renovation projects.
