RESTRICTIONS : Available in Primarily the Southern New England Area. Travel outside MA/RI/CT or Southern NH /
ME we would have to add travel costs.
The Final mixdown and editing, is a one to two day session - if it goes too long due to band requiring fixes, patching,
over-dubs etc an additional charge will be negotiated prior to any work being done.
No Surprises, no hidden costs.
Here is my commitment, if you are committed and ready to work we will put the time needed into this recording to
capture the best possible example of your work. No Clock Watching. No hidden charges for equipment. You get
access to all our facilities, expertise and lots of nice microphones.
Some studios charge for time, then add the engineer, then add a cost for use of special gear, I even saw one studio
with a price list for every Mic in their locker. I cant work that way. If I see a nice Taylor Acoustic I'm going to want to put
my Sennheiser MK-415T shotgun Mic in front of it to pull out all the sound coming off the wood. Why should I charge
you more because I want to do a good job? Other techniques include both direct connection and mic'ing all guitar
cabinets. You get a different sound off of each, then blend them for the perfect tone. Keyboards I always do stereo.
Drums get fully mic'd. All this makes a difference when you listen.
