Special Deals and Pricing:

-$333 Demo-

1 day, 8am-4pm, Mon/Tue/Wed, Solo Performer to Full Band. You will leave at the end of the day with a mixed and mastered demo. As many songs as you can reasonably fit into the timeframe. Typically, for a full band, tracking, overdubs, no editing, mixing/mastering, 2-5 songs is possible. Solo/duo, 5-10 songs is possible. If you embrace the process of it being quick, simple, and fun, you will end up with a high quality demo to help you book gigs, or just show the world what you sound like. I will keep you on schedule and help you as much as I can. I work quickly, and I will be mixing as we go, but if we run out of time, the remainder of the tracking/mixing/remixes will be at the normal $50/hour rate. Maybe you are a band that needs less polish on the mixes, and you just want to make demos of the tunes for documenting or arrangements, or use as preproduction before you record an album. You bring your instruments/gear and the songs. You can book as many of these days as you want, but the previous songs will not be worked on, C’MON, embrace the process and challenge! Deposit required

-$444 Solo Performer Needs a Band-

Same as the above 333, 1 day, 8am-4pm, Mon/Tue/Wed, but you sing and play the instruments you can, I provide the rest that I can (Drums, Bass, Guitar, Harmonies, and other), as much as we can get tracked and mixed in a day. Or, perhaps you are a solo multi-instrumentalist who wants to make full demos for a future band, a couple songs to release, or just record songs for fun, if so, I can provide you with drums/bass/guitar/keys setups that are all ready to go, set up as a project studio, so you can move quickly. You will leave with either the final mixes/masters, or you can choose to have more time for tracking, and leave with the unmixed multitracks, or have them mixed later at the normal rates. Deposit required

-$888 Band for a Day-

One 8 hour session, you and your songs, and 2-3 high level multi-instrumentalist local musicians that will help you elevate the songs into full band recordings. It will be a fun and collaborative day, with musicians that can help you create exactly what you imagine, or help provide what is needed. I will help you produce 3-5 songs, mixed and mastered, but the end of the session. Additional Tracking/Mixing will be at the normal rate. Limited availability, deposit required

-$1111 Album-

3 days, 8am-4pm, Mon-Wed, Solo Performer to Full Band. 3 days of tracking and mixing, and a final master of the album. Full bands, with simple setups, typically get 8-10 songs finished, solo/duo 10-15. Depending on the instrumentation, and level of comfort, we can track as much of the band as live as possible, or (for example) do basic tracks for a day, overdubs/vocals for a day and a half, mixing for half a day(we will also be mixing as we go). Additional tracking/mixing will be at the normal rates. Deposit required
