I offer three ways of recording. The project, the desired vibe and the people involved determine which route to take.
1. In-Studio Recording: a typical recording session in a professional or project studio. Depending on the studio, the band can either play live together, or any combination of group and individual tracking can be done to get the perfect take. I have special deals with Heirloom Studios, Electric Canyon, and Energy Plant.
2. Mobile Recording: This way of recording consists of bringing the studio to a room that offers sonics and vibe that you can't get in a regular studio. Genres like Jazz and Folk often benefit from having musicians in a room that they feel comfortable in. Snarky Puppy and Black Dub are bands that work well with this style of recording.
3. Live Show Recording: This consists of recording a live show professionally, with the quality approaching that of studio recordings. It's not just a board mix and ambient mics, it's a fully multi-tracked session with later mixdown in the studio. There are limitations to when and where this can be done, and everyone only gets one take, but it usually offers the greatest vibe because of the energy gained from the crowd.
I also offer audio for video services including voice over, SFX, foley work or specialty services such as audio restoration.
Rates for all recordings depend on location and the size of the project but vary between $15-40/hr total, including studio.
Mixing Rates are $15/hr. Discounts available for live recordings when I am also providing live sound for your event.
