As a recording musician, I understand the frustrations in finding that "elusive mix" when you're recording a song or an album. As artists, we have a hard time prying ourselves away from the minutiae and technical aspects of recording/mixing and seeing the big picture. Not only that, but sometimes we have doubts about the quality of our songwriting . Typically, artists turn to producers to handle t
hese issues. But let's face it, for the independent artist, this just isn't economically feasible. As a result, we miss a critical aspect of the creative process: getting feedback from an unbiased individual who can inspire an artist to focus on their core strengths. My role is that of engineer/producer/coach. I'm an active listener with a critical ear who is there to provide feedback and help you bring the sounds you hear in your head to fruition. It works like this: For a flat, one time fee, I will provide the following services:
-- Feedback on mixes, suggest tweaks to make your first impression the best
-- Assistance in song construction/structure/editing without having to share songwriting credits or royalties
-- Exercises to overcome writer's block
...and more
A traditional producer would charge you an hourly rate and a percentage of your sales to provide these same services. Granted, I'm no Rick Rubin, T Bone Burnett or Brian Eno. And there's no shame in asking for help when you hit a creative roadblock and "ear fatigue" sets in. For more info or to set up a consultation, feel free to contact me via FB, email or phone. Web site coming soon.
