A client of mine can expect a high quality audio service experience, at a reasonable price!

Hi, thanks for stopping by!
I provide 4 main services:
1. Audio Recording Engineer
2. Live Sound Engineer
3. Voice Acting
4. Audio Editing

AUDIO RECORDING ENGINEER:
My "Studio" is mobile and I can do up to 16-track live recordings and unlimited overdubs at up to 24bit/48khz (Above "CD Quality").
If you are a solo musician or have a band and would like to record your music, let's work together!
My recording rates vary but generally Half-Day $300, or a Full-Day is $500
I can set up in your jam-room or possibly a venue to record your gig (if allowed by venue, etc), or any space you have access to, that you sound awesome in! I also do have space in my home to record, or other live spaces to rent if needed.

LIVE SOUND ENGINEER:
I am a live sound reinforcement and studio recording engineer with 30+ years experience.
My extensive experience as a live sound technician means I've got the ear and the talent to run your live sound event.
I can MIX your live sound event for $75/hr. (NO EQUIPMENT/SETUP/TEAR-DOWN PROVIDED)
If you need a PA system provided, setup and removed as well as a Sound Engineer, the fee will depend on the size of the PA needed (..how many mics, Main Speakers, Monitor Speakers, etc) and the current rental rates.

VOICE ACTOR:
I am starting out in the voice-over business. Since I'm new to the industry, my rates will be very affordable, so don't hesitate to ask me for a brief sample of your script at no charge!

A LITTLE ABOUT ME:
My career as a sound engineer started in the mid 80's when I took a Studio Recording class offered in Seattle, WA by legendary Northwest Recording artist Kearney Barton (R.I.P) - who is famous for recording a popular version of "Louie Louie" and many other Northwest Recording artist like two young high-school students Anne and Nancy Wilson (who later formed Heart!).

After earning a certificate in studio recording, I went on to work with Kearney doing live sound engineering for anything from solo musicians, to acoustic folk and jazz bands, rock groups and full choir's and orchestras.

Eventually I became a freelance engineer in Seattle, working for many bands and musicians during the grunge era.

With my experience, my ear, and my attention to detail, you can trust your projects will be in good hands!

Generally, my live sound clients will need a small "vocal PA", which accommodates anything from a single microphone for a lecture or presentation, a DJ, to a rock/blues/country band (at a reasonable and listenable volume!)

However, if bigger and louder is a requirement, we can get the place shakin', but that's gonna be a much bigger expense, too...

As far as Recording goes, I have a portable setup, so "Your place or mine?" - in fact, I can run on battery, so we can literally record anywhere, up to 16 tracks live ("Multi-Track") at up to 24bit/48khz (above CD quality).

I don't have fancy equipment or super expensive microphones for this portable setup. I really keep it simple, and use my professionally trained ear and years of experience to produce a quality product.

- Multi-track Recordings done at a live gig or in your rehearsal room - up to 16 tracks live, with unlimited overdubs. You will be provided the raw recorded stems/tracks on a SD card upon approval and payment. Take them to another studio to mix and master, or... keep me on the project!
- Mixing/Mastering - After we record your tracks, keep me on the project to mix/master your songs.
- OR... book a session with me as your engineer at a world class studio, right here in the Poconos!!
- Live sound reinforcement. PA mains/monitors, Microphones/Stands, D/I boxes, etc
- Voice Acting - ask for a sample of my voice for your next audio project.
