Whether I'm tracking for a music legend or a brand new, up-and-coming independent artist, my philosophy and approach are exactly the same: zero-ego, total focus on the song, and serving your vision.
Here is a quick look at how we can start bringing your project to life.
Step 1: Let’s Chat
Before hitting record, I want to understand who you are and the exact sound you are looking for. Communication is key, so we will start by discussing your vision.
Step 2: Choose Your Recording Style
We can record your tracks in one of two ways, depending on your budget and creative goals:
Option A:
Custom Drum Programming
Option B:
Live Recording at Populist Recording
I perform your tracks on an electronic kit in my home studio, capturing the nuance of a live drummer.
I record at Populist Recording + Mastering to capture an authentic, acoustic live room sound.
Endless Flexibility:
Because it uses MIDI, we can instantly edit drum sounds, fills, or the arrangement.
Pure Acoustic Vibe:
Real drums, real room mics, and an undeniable live energy.
Budget-Friendly:
No studio rental fees and no strict scheduling limits. You save money.
Fast Turnaround:
I work incredibly fast in the studio, usually nailing the track in a single take.
What you get:
Full audio and MIDI stems for every individual drum, as well as stereo renderings of any effects busses.
