FAQ

​How long does it take to produce a record/EP? 

​

It depends greatly, but I’d give these rough figures for the average time to record and mix an EP/LP;

 

EP: 2-6 days

LP: 5-12 days

​

The amount of time it takes depends on how well planned out and prepared the production/arrangement is, how complex and elaborate said production is, as well as how meticulous you are. Records should be recorded and mixed efficiently, but never be rushed!​

Is mixing included with recording

​

No, it's an additional charge on top on tracking time

Can we use your gear? What should I bring to the session?

​

You can use anything we have here, but feel free to bring whatever you want, especially your instruments of choice! We do have a lot of guitar/bass amps, various cabinets for either, as well as a couple great sounding house drum kits. Check out our gear list to see if you can save yourself some gear moving.

Do you offer production assistance

​

I absolutely can. I have some great songwriting experience under my belt and can help fill in the blanks where its needed. Although I like to hold of on unsolicited songwriting advice as the engineer, I'll generally suggest elements that I feel will elevate a song when I hear them. 

What do accomodations look like

​

We don’t have on-site accommodations for overnight stays, but there are plenty of options in town. Manchester is a fun city, and there are a handful of hotels, Airbnbs, and endless fantastic food options in a mile radius of the studio. I've lived here for over ten years, so ask me what’s good locally!

Can we bring friends to the session? 

​

Yep, as long as we can all stay focused. Friends are fun to have, but can be distracting and not very conducive to an efficient session.

​

I'm also cool with anyone taking photographs/video/other media documenting of the session. I love having people shoot or film in studio, as long as they're respectful of us doing what we're doing

Am I able to rent to studio without an engineer?

​

No, not at this moment. You must book me for any sessions

Do you offer internships?

​

We do not offer internships. However, there are a handful of studios in the Boston area that do for school/college related credit needs.

Are there any session musicians on staff?

​​

Although we don't have any dedicated session players on staff, have been in the scene for over a decade, and have a wide network of professional players who can accommodate most of your needs if you require session musicians.

​

Your typical individual session player will cost be between $40-100/hr, on top of our day/hourly fee.

​

For less specialized needs, I am a multi-instrumentalists of varying levels. I can generally help with basic composition and recording of rhythm guitar, bass, piano/keys/synth, and sometimes drums.

​

Ask us if you have any specific player needs for your project and we can do our best to find the right people for you
