Gear

The Fun Stuff.

Below you'll find a break down of a lot of the equipment available for your projects based on the studio and rate you book.

I own and am proficient with both Logic Pro 11, Premiere Pro, Izotope RX 10 Advanced (for audio repair and restoration), and a number of other useful Audio/Video apps that make importing and processing all types of sound and video sources easy. Primarily my audio work is done in Logic and video in Premiere Pro, so if your project doesn't require that session files be shared back and forth with other engineers, it is recommended we create your project with those applications.

I maintain a comfortable and simple personal workspace that makes no compromise on sound. It uses top notch A/D Conversion as well as editing and mix tools you’d expect in any professional studio. More importantly, the room is acoustically tuned which is something most project or home workspaces overlook. This space allows me to work remotely or one-on-one with clients at a much more affordable rate. My setup can also be made mobile for up to 10 tracks of multi-track recording for “in the field” music or podcast recording.
