Introduction

I don't have a big 40 channel multimillion dollar studio. Nonetheless, my work has generated multimillions of sales for record companies. A lot of my clients have commented on the fact that I'm meticulous, yet work very quickly. I love puzzles. Sometimes the crafting of a song or piece of music is exactly that. Other times it's simply the chance to be with what has been my constant companion since i was 3 years old... music.

Q&A

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Usually, in the first contact I discuss my potential clients needs and expectations. In some cases, I may not be able to provide what the client is looking for, for example, I'm new to Marietta and I'm not currently set up to record a live band. In other cases, I may be actually more than what the client needs. In those cases I will gladly refer them to someone else

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I was trained by the engineers that recorded my 10 albums back in the 70s and 80s. I have owned and operated my own recording equipment since the late 70s.

What types of customers have you worked with?

R&B, Hip Hop, Gospel, Country, Pop, Comedy, Jazz (my last Grammy was with Stanley Clarke)

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I recently had the pleasure of working with a 14-year-old singer songwriter who plays guitar. We recorded 5 songs over the course of two days including adding drums, bass, keyboard, additional guitars, and string arrangements.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

My advice is to be realistic about your expectations. If you're looking to launch your music career and compete with people that you currently hear on the radio, and your budget is only $100, you are highly likely to be disappointed.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

"When I leave the studio, is it my goal to leave with the best recording that I can do? Or is my goal to leave with the best recording that I can do under the circumstances?". If you are honest with yourself and perfectly clear on your choice, you'll be fine in any studio recording environment.
