Golden Coin Studios

Not quite as shitty demos for Bellingham bands.

About Me

3/20/08 - PLEASE NOTE MY CHANGE IN RATES BELOW!
Golden Coin Studios is run out of a Storage Unit in Bellingham, WA. Dirty carpet lines the walls, duct tape will be found on microphones, and there is a musty smell consuming the entire unit, but you might be surprised what 5 years of self-taught audio production can do to a recording...I am here to help good live artists throw down a solid marketable recording. Though I do have a few tricks up my sleeve, I am no magician so please be well rehearsed before entering the studio. This saves you money, me frustration, and gives us both a better recording...I’m am still building my portfolio so my rates are as follows:
Initial Setup Fee: $20 flat rate (usually takes about 2 hours)
Recording: $20/hr. (stay focused so you don’t burn lots of money here)
Mixing: *$15/hr.*I tend to be very patient with this step because your recording represents my engineering skills in addition to your instrumentation so I’ll tell you how much time I think it will take and price you accordingly. If I spend more time, I’ll still charge you at this price and if it goes really quick I will discount the rate.If you are interested in recording @ Golden Coin Studios, please call Ryan at
(360) 820-0082 or email the studio at [email protected] .
