Adventures in Montana! First I almost hit a bear, like it literally jumped out of the ditch and ran in front of my truck and I had to slam on my breaks. Then I see one 5 minutes later on someone’s back yard! THEN this guy is just sitting on the hill next to the road, all within a 3-5 mile distance! I didn’t feel like looking for gold after that!🥴🤷♂️😆 #montana
Tonight’s master is 😘👌and topping out around -7.5 dB lufs short term, sounding huge and punchy as ****! It could go louder as there isn’t even a hint of “flatness” yet but this is where I like to start things in this genre. It’s not rock music unless it’s hitting ****** HARD!😎🤘🔥

Look closely, You will see I’m just barely kissing the Gain Reduction needle, which is all most projects usually need. 😱Don’t be fooled, the magic of this box is way more then “leveling” with classical compression! It adds a 3D seperation and glue, yes at the same time, that is simply always musical. There has not been a project I turn it off for since getting it… THAT is nuts! My hats off to @soundperformancelab for making one awesome magic tone box that I can’t live without!
😎🤘🍻

These lovely VU meters on my @soundperformancelab IRON mastering compressor rarely see more action than this but they sure look cool!🤩
So, indulge me a minute while I open a thought. There is a re-occurring conversation in my career about me charging below what I’m worth and it’s been suggested that maybe I should charge $100 a song to attract new clientele. Let me first say, while I certainly appreciate people thinking I’m worth more then I charge, my personal feeling on this sort of pricing is that it is not authentic to me.
While I respect people who disagree, my pricing isn’t a phycological operation to get the most cash out of people for my time. My pricing, currently $60 a song, is based on simply two things:
1) How much do I need to make to provide my family and run my business effectively.
2) Simple economic feedback of supply and demand; ie as long as I can keep up with demand, my pricing will stays out.
If either of those things change, I adjust my pricing the least amount I can to make it pencil.
Here’s the thing, I am so blessed to get to make music for a living and work with amazing people everyday. Many musicians are struggling financially, and I simply want to help as many of them make sure they have a final record they love and are proud to put out in the world. I’m not here to get rich off of musicians or stoke egos of the elite, though I’m happy to work with labels.
My name is Stephen, I live a simple life in the mountians of Montana and I just want to do my part to make the world a better place by filling it with amazing sounding music! The fact that I get to do this at all blows my mind and I’m happy to share my best with anyone i get the pleasure of working with!
Cheers y’all!😊✌️🍻

Here’s a little clip of a song bouncing through the gear today. This solo section is clearly the loudnest part of the song, so this is what I set my gain staging and static EQ too. As you can see, my compressors are just barely turning on and micro dosing the transients with long attack and quick release, which is essentially snare peak control for the most part. This mix is solid and doesn’t require much eq, just a touch on first step on nearly every band, but don’t let that fool you, as the box tone and gain staging are doing a lot here in this chain! It may seem like alot of effort but the kiss of high end analog still does something sonically I can’t fully replicate in the box!
