REAL-WORLD MUSICIAN EXPERIENCE
from the mind frames of instrumentalist, vocalist, songwriter and engineer schools of thought in both live and studio contexts.
a producer who speaks the language of performance, part writing, instrument playing, instrument mechanics, song composition, lyric writing
specialties in the elusive aspects of studio vocal performance
Yeah, everyone and their cousin has some kind of computer, software and some mics these days. Grandma has a Protools rig too!
Here you can have organic instrument tracks added and performed by some of the best players in the area (drums, bass, keys, guitar, backup vocals, dijeridoo, percussion, harmonica, banjo, mandolin, violin, cello).
Bring your WAV files here to have them mixed.
We're very broadly networked in the area.
