About Me

"This game is really about being consistently "upper mediocre" on a regular basis, brilliant on occasion, and damn near never sucking" - Fletcher




Please reference:


Hi, I'm Chris. I've been in multiple bands (that you've never heard of) and know the general problems most bands have with booking shows and getting their shit known to a larger audience.
That's where I come in. I know that studios charge an assload of money and it is extremely expensive to get a good sounding album or demo. After that it only costs more money for mastering and reproduction.
What I do is record bands, cheap (I accept you buying me food and giving me props, also) and help your band get the exposure it deserves. Not only that, but with decent sounding recording it will be a lot easier to book shows at venues that require a cd first to know what you sound like.
In most basement/home/garage studios you miss a certain quality in the recording: a great sounding room. Almost all engineers and producers know how big a part the room plays in a great sounding recording. A shitty sounding room will make anything in it sound equally as shitty (that's why a lot of home recorded stuff can't match up to the sounds of the pro studios with amazing rooms).
I track at Puget Sound Mastering (Issaquah, WA):
The Track Shack (Seattle, WA)
Both studios have great sounding rooms. Just stepping in you can hear the difference between either studio and a garage, living room, or basement. Along with the great sounding rooms, PSM and The Track Shack also allows me to use amazing sounding gear and equipment, just check out either location for a list of what they have to offer.

If I've recorded you please link me and spread the word about my studio!
