Sub Categories?: Mixing, Recording, and Producing:
I am a Music Producer, Mixer, Audio Engineer, and Songwriter. I have a studio here in Los Angeles, that I have created all of my work for various projects both large and small for the last 14 years.
I like to focus on all aspects of music production (but can help out on any one aspect of it,) starting with:
Songwriting: If you don’t already have your song completely written and need help, we can collaborate/co write.
Pre Production: Get your song mapped out, arranged, do any programming, scratch tracks and have all of the parts and tempo figured out before we go into the studio. This allows us to be better prepared, and optimizes our time in the studio.
Engineering/Recording: Once the song is written and all the pre production is done, it’s time to go into the studio and record the basic tracks, Drums, Bass, Guitar, and Keys usually. I like to work quickly and efficiently, but more importantly really strive to get the best tones and performances possible for the genre of the song.Once the basic tracks are recorded, then we move on to doing the overdubs. Sometimes due to scheduling and budget constraints, we’ll just record drums, and overdub everything else at another time.
Mixing: Once everything is recorded, it’s time to start mixing! (My favorite part of the process) This is where the song comes to life and starts sounding like a record! It’s as much of a creative and artistic step in music production as anything else.
