Preparing the session
Tempo, key, lyrics, arrangement and references are set before the red light goes on, so the time in the studio is spent on performance.
Recording that captures the performance.
Everything downstream depends on what is captured at the source. I record vocals and instruments with care for sound, comfort and performance, so you leave with takes that feel right and mix well.

Why recording matters
Recording sets the ceiling for the whole record. A well-captured vocal needs less correction, sits naturally in the mix and carries emotion. A rushed or poorly captured take can never be fully repaired later.
It is also about the artist. A comfortable session, a good headphone mix and honest direction bring out better performances than any piece of equipment, and a great performance is what listeners remember.
How I work
Capture quality
Careful microphone choice and placement, gain staging and a clean signal chain, recorded at 24-bit with enough headroom to leave the mix every option.
Direction and comfort
A relaxed environment, a headphone mix that inspires you, and clear feedback between takes, so that you can give your best.
Editing and organisation
Takes are compiled, edited and labelled so the project arrives ready to mix. Tuning and timing edits are available when the style calls for them.
What you receive
- An organised session with clearly named tracks
- Compiled lead and backing vocals from your best takes
- Clean, uncompressed 24-bit WAV files, delivered to current industry standards
- Optional: continue straight into mixing and mastering with the same engineer
How to prepare your project
- Know the song well: lyrics, structure and tempo
- Bring the instrumental as a stereo file and, if you have them, its stems
- Look after your voice: rest, hydrate and avoid over-rehearsing before the session
- Share your references and ideas for doubles, harmonies and ad-libs
- Tell me how many songs you plan to record, so the session can be planned properly
Frequently asked questions
Do you record only vocals?
No. I record vocals and instruments. Tell me what your project needs and we will plan the best setup for it.
Can I bring my own beat or instrumental?
Of course. Send it as a stereo file, or as stems if you have them, ahead of the session.
Do you tune and edit vocals?
Yes, when the style calls for it. The goal is a result that sounds natural to the artist and to the genre.
Can I continue with mixing and mastering?
Yes. Having the same engineer follow the project from recording to master keeps the sound and the intention consistent.
How is recording priced?
There are no fixed rates. Each project is quoted individually, depending on the length of the session and the number of songs.
