What is this website all about?
I’m a music producer, engineer and songwriter with a recording studio in Times Square, the heart of New York City.. I specialize in working with solo recording artists in many genres.
Here, at different times, I will shed light on the recording and creative process as well as write some personal articles, reviews, etc… The relationship between an artist and their producer is an extremely personal one, so perhaps here you may get to know me a little better and decide if I might be a good match for you as an artist.

I find it amazing that the first question most people ask when talking to me about recording is, “What Are Your Rates?”
I understand this is important to most people, but the correct question should be “What is This Going to COST Me?”
1. People who work on hourly rates work at different speeds and capabilities. Someone whose hourly rates are half of someone else’s could still easily end up COSTING you a lot more for the finished end project.

Many artists and musicians think they don’t need a producer. They have the artistic vision, why should they hire someone else?
There are many jobs a true music producer does, many of which have little to do with the actual creative output of the music. So why should you use a Real Producer?
What is a Real Producer Good For?
1. Do you know which studio to book? Do you know if they will really have what you need to accomplish your goals? Real Producers know this. Many have their own studios as well, so the price isn’t much more, and if their studio isn’t up to the job, they’ll be able to take the portion of the project that needs another space and coordinate everything.
2. Do you know how long it will take to record all the pieces? Not guessing… really know? Producers know how long everything will take, and can schedule everything with you to make sure you are getting the most efficient use of your time. Read more of this article »
