Production, recording, mixing — book them separately or as one path from demo to release. Always shaped around your song and your budget.
An outsider thinking about the song itself. I help you avoid unseen pitfalls and take the song to the next level — with ideas, not an agenda. You stay in charge of your own music.
From a single vocal to a full band with drums in the room. I take the time for mic choice and placement, because that's where your record is made or broken.
Punchy and clear, natural and dynamic. I'm glad to mix tracks you recorded yourself or elsewhere — as long as they're delivered tidily.
On almost every song the vocal is the most important instrument. Comping, tuning, timing and effects — subtle when it should be, bold when the song asks for it.
The cheapest place to improve a song is before the tracking day. We go through tempo, key, structure and arrangement, and make quick demos.
The invisible work that separates a demo from a release: tight where it must be, loose where it should breathe, and a clean handover.
Rates
So there's no standard price list — just an honest conversation up front about what you want to make and what you have to spend.
It would be wrong to charge a singer-songwriter song with one vocal and an acoustic guitar the same as a rock band with a grand production. Before we record a single note we discuss your budget and what you have in mind. That way we work with the budget you have, instead of the budget a price list dictates.
I'm a musician myself and I know how much musicians are taken advantage of. So I try to offer a fair deal and manage expectations when budgets are limited. Sending in a demo helps enormously: it shows me straight away what budget can achieve the end result you want.
One voice, one guitar or piano, maybe some light overdubs. Often recorded in a day and mixed quickly.
Price on request — the most affordable route.
Drums, bass, guitars and vocals. The most requested route: one song fully taken from recording to release-ready.
Price on request — usually quoted per project.
Several songs in one run, pre-production included. More efficient per song because the setup stays up.
Price on request — project price or day rate.
Frequently asked
There is no fixed price list, and that's deliberate. It would be wrong to charge a singer-songwriter song with one vocal and an acoustic guitar the same as a rock band with a grand production. Before recording a single note we discuss your budget and what you have in mind — that way we work with the budget you actually have.
A €250 budget won't be enough for multiple layers of guitars and vocals, but it can be perfectly suited to recording vocals for a rap beat. Sending in a demo helps a lot: it shows me straight away what budget can achieve the result you want.
I'm a musician myself and I know how often musicians are taken advantage of. So I'd rather offer a fair deal per project and manage expectations when budgets are limited than sell you a standard package that doesn't fit your song.
Yes. Send your tracks as separate wav files (24 bit, same sample rate, all starting from zero, no mix-bus processing) along with a rough reference mix. You get a mix, you give feedback, and two revision rounds are standard.
I deliver master-ready, or handle the master myself, depending on the project. For releases where it really counts I'm happy to work with a separate mastering engineer, so you get a fresh set of ears on it. We agree on the route up front.
A tracking day is usually a full day. Studio time includes setting up and breaking down equipment, soundcheck and coffee breaks. For a single, expect one to two days of recording plus mixing time; for an EP we plan several consecutive days.
I'm best known for rock and indie, but I happily produce any genre: tight pop productions with samples and tuned vocals, lo-fi beats, hip hop, punk, singer-songwriter. The approach changes, the craft doesn't.
Live and location recordings are possible — I've recorded and mixed live releases, among other things. Tell me what you have in mind and we'll work out what's needed.
Even if it's a phone recording from the rehearsal room. I'll listen, think along, and tell you honestly what's possible on your budget.
