Music Recording Lessons in Sopchoppy. Amazing Teachers.

Recording your own songs can be overwhelming. What software do I use? What kind of microphone should I be using? As someone that struggled with recording in the past, I totally sympathize. I've now produced & recorded on over a dozen records. From beginner software & recording techniques to advanced methods like mixing and mastering, I can help you make your musical ideas into professional recordings.

I have lived in and worked in and breathed recording music since I was a kid. Back then, it was a big deal. You needed two inch tape and a half a million dollars of gear.

Now I have a way for even beginners to do the unthinkable: start recording at their the very first session with just a three-piece studio using Ignite software, a laptop and a small controller. This is not just dragging loops around. I mean real recording. Let's talk!

With a background balanced between live concert production, academic research/design, and retail product representation, I keep a practical-yet-creative approach to support everything from your equipment needs to your creative workflow from the studio to the stage.

Every job is an opportunity to empower other artists, from the instruments and tools in their hands, to their recording software/hardware, to the tactical logistics they employ within a complex production.

Services include:
- Tutorials/assistance in digital recording, synthesis, and sound design.
- Live sound stage pre-production or production.
- Build or repair cables for instruments, microphones, MIDI and other tools of the stage and studio.
- Field- or live-concert recording
- Sound design and custom sample work to help you discover and express your unique voice. - clean, repair or customization of electronic musical instruments.

Hi there and thanks for visiting! I have been playing guitar, singing, writing and producing music for the greater part of my life. My endeavor is to guide you to an understanding of one or many of these facets and give you the tools you need to become your own teacher as you continue down this path.

Below is a brief synopsis about the lessons I teach:

Guitar/Songwriting:
There will be very little music theory. I never needed much of it to write my own music, other than a few basic theories to get around successfully, so it’s not something we’ll spend a whole lot of time on. I have organized and constructed a course book to keep things lively and moving along efficiently. I call it NOTEbOOK. It’s also great refresher material to revisit in the future.

I teach basic guitar with accented professional appeal and rhythmic structure. My intention is to guide you to create your own original music using straightforward techniques. My goal, once we part ways, is for you to leave ...

I have a bachelor’s degree in Music Production and engineering from Berklee College of Music, so I’ve been on both side of the studio glass. I can teach basic recording, editing, and mixing in any DAW or on an analog console if you’ve got one! I’ve worked in analog and digital environments and can simplify concepts into ideas that translate to both realms. You’ll be ready to step into the studio as a confidant engineer/assistant.

Several years of recording my own music as well as that of others has helped me hone my skills. I'm here to get you ready to sound great, whether you're singing, recording instruments, or even working with sound effects!
