About Me

So I needed a place to find my place and for now that place is the studio. I produced these tracks with a great team of engineers and a kickin' band, all Berklee students. We did these basic tracks in Berklee Studio B and I did overdubs in Studio C. All mixing was done in Studio LB. All of the recording I have done thus far here and everything I have posted so far has been recorded using a ProTools HD based recording platform. This band is the type of group you take in the studio and give them fresh materiel and expect nothing less than to hear them play something they have just learned like they've been doing it for years. And that is the kind of attitude I have when I work with them. I let them know exactly what I want and they deliver. If something doesn't work, we fix it. Sometimes the rest of the guys are coming up with more than I could have figured on my own, that is why it works.
