Tracking / mixing / Mastering / other services
Tracking
Start your recording project with multitrack sessions. The studio accommodates up to 6 players at once. For larger groups, a mobile recording session is recommended. For sessions 8 hours or longer, booking a day rate is recommended. You'll save money and enjoy working without the time crunch.
$40/hour
Tracking Day Rate
A day rate is set by you, your band, and the engineer, typically starting in the morning and lasting up to 10 hours, or a comfortable amount of work time. The benefits of day rates are that you can focus entirely on your project, instead of watching the clock, as well as avoiding additional fees or consecutive days.
$300/DAY
Mobile Recording
Looking to record in a unique space? Book a mobile session! I'll bring all necessary recording equipment directly to your chosen location. Just a heads up, for sessions that take place outside the Saint John city limits, there will be some additional travel expenses.
$500/DAY

mastering
Mastering, the final step in the production process, prepares songs for physical and digital distribution. Price includes 4 revisions. (Additional revisions cost extra.)
$25/SONG
The process involves working the multitrack recording to a stereo mix. I use a hybrid approach with Pro Tools and analog outboard gear. Price includes 4 revisions. (Additional revisions cost extra.)

$200/SONG
Session Player
Enhance your instrumental tracks in-house on guitar, bass guitar, keyboard, drums and percussion. If you're looking for an instrument or player outside of this list for your project, let me know and I'll be happy to connect you. Pricing varies for third party session players.
Producing
$200/SONG
A music producer oversees the creative and technical aspects of music production, guiding the artistic direction and performance. Unlike an audio engineer, who focuses primarily on recording and mixing sound, a music producer shapes the overall sound and vision of a project, working closely with artists to achieve their musical goals.
$40/HOUR
mentoring
If you're new to the music industry or eager to learn about production and recording techniques, I offer mentorship sessions tailored to help you develop your skills and achieve your musical goals. See a full list of Mentorship Sessions available here.
