I have a demo. Can I send it to you and see what you think?
Of course! My goal is simple: I want to help create more music and put it out into the world! I would love to listen to your demos and share some clear and concise feedback for your track!

How do you typically start production on a song?
For me, demos are the crux of the artist’s vision; they are that initial heartbeat of the song before it gets polished. I love to listen to demos to understand the emotions, intent and direction of the music before the additional layers come in. For production, I try to provide general notes on dynamics, form and references to guide the sound. I then include some more specific observations on the song’s structure – how it moves and hits, and specific actions to create the sound you want to share. Mixing and mastering are all about trust – I want to ensure that we are on the same wavelength from start to finish to guarantee that the final sound is true to your vision.

What are your rates?
My rates are competitive and less expensive than larger studios. While I can’t work for free, I am always willing to have a conversation about how we can work together. Feel free to reach out so that we can chat about what might work for you and your project.

How should I send you stems?
Please send stems as .wav or .aiff. Make sure you include the BPM of the song for timing delays and reverbs. My preferred format is 48kHz 24-bit, but higher resolutions are also welcome. Feel free to send the rough mix and any references you have been listening to!
Instrumental stems can be left fully wet with your FX. If there is something you would like me to dial in, feel free to send a screenshot of the plugin/hardware settings. (If I need anything else I will reach out).
I prefer that vocal stems are left dry with any wet effect returns (reverbs, delays, etc.) printed on separate stems. You do not have to remove EQ or compression, just the FX. If there are any settings you like or you want me to add my own FX, send screenshots of the settings you like!
