With so many advances in technology and changes in the music industry, many artists have expanded their skill sets to include recording and production. While this has been mostly a positive evolution, sadly one of the driving forces has been lagging revenue from sales of recorded music. It is simply not practical anymore for most artists to hire producers and studios.

I have had the good fortune to work with some of the finest songwriters, producers, and musicians over the course of my career. I’ve learned from all of them. Many of them are mentors to this day. I’d like to continue this process by helping artists make great, affordable recordings at home.

I’m not talking about knob-turning. Y’all can learn that stuff on YouTube. I have no formula for making hit records. My skill set is more along the lines of making good decisions and focusing on process: how to improve spontaneity and creativity, and when to bite the bullet and pull out the checkbook.

I can also be helpful in filling in gaps in any technical skills. A simple answer to a question, assurance that your instincts are spot on, or a fresh set of ears with another perspective can be just what’s needed to keep the project exciting and moving forward.

I am ready, willing, and able to take on any tasks you don’t have the interest or the patience to deal with. If now is not the time you care to learn complex editing, fixing a bad note, or correcting a rushed bass part, I can get it done fast and transparently. I am here to help you with your project or teach you how to get started.

In addition to producing, mixing, and session work, I am now adding consulting to my list of services for hire. In most cases, consulting sessions are billed by the hour. The same is true for any à la carte production tasks, i.e., editing, tuning, etc.

Have fun making music, and please remember to always rock on!
