About Recording and Production

Recording

  • Current hourly rate is $55 an hour, with a $110 deposit. Your deposit will go towards total studio time

  • I book 2 hours minimum.

  • If a session needs to go longer than the time you originally reserved, we can typically extend it.

  • Includes access to all the instruments in the studio, microphones preamps etc.

  • 32 inputs for recording with 2 ISO booths. We can track almost any band live with enough isolation to overdub any parts we need afterwards.

  • We'll make sure that your tone and takes are perfect. I have been playing guitar professionally for years and am a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist. I'm not afraid to let you know when something isn't quite right, but I'm also going to give you very clear help and instructions to fix what might be wrong. None of the "it isn't quite fluffy enough" kind of jargon.

  • I'm also very open to helping add or write new parts for songs, whether it be harmonies, vocal choirs, guitar, synths, keys, drums or sound design. The sky is the limit. If you have an idea but don't know quite how to make it happen, I bet we could make something cool. Read the section "Production with Zach Boorman" below for more info

  • For simple acoustic songs (6 tracks or less) I can do a quick mix and export it for you at the end of the session. This will take about 45 minutes, so plan your session accordingly. 

  • The session starts at the time you reserved. Be on time. 

  • Set up is part of your reserved studio time, note that setup with certain instruments will take a minute. For drums plan on 45 minutes to an hour to setup. For full bands tracking live plan on over an hour. If you book consecutive days we can leave anything set up so the next day we can jump back into it. Refer to the FAQ for more info. 

  • A well produced song can take up to 12 hours, about 18 including editing. If you're really wanting to make your song shine consider paying our per song rate for production.

Production with Zach Boorman

A great producer is an organizer of a project. The person that makes a written song go from an idea to the best version of itself it can be. In the past a producer may have only gathered instrumentalists and engineers and organized what needed to be done. Now, producers do that and with modern technology, can wear the hats of the recording engineer, composer, studio musician and editor. Basically, a producer is the most important thing your well written song needs.  

 

If you're just wanting a few parts added to the song while we're recording the stuff your band already has come up with, for example vocal harmonies, I am flexible and willing to help with any idea to suit your song and your budget.

 

The rate for a fully produced song is $600 and includes:

  • A consultation where we'll come up with ideas and you can share your vision of the song. 

  • 4-5 sessions in the studio, or 12 hours, where we will experiment with ideas, tones, parts, sound design, and record them. Basically the sky is the limit with this, tell me what you're thinking and I bet we can come up with something awesome. 

  • Up to two world class studio musicians (I'm pretty good at most things, but there are people that are some of the best in the world that I know) on your tune. This could be drums, keys, bass, horns or strings. If we want more, usually it's just enough to pay the musicians.

  • Vocal editing, alignment, and tuning, a $200 value.

  • Instrument editing alignment and tuning ($200 value)

  • Does not include mixing and mastering.
