Studio & Album Production
End-to-End Music Production for Independent Artists
Take your songs from raw drafts to release-ready tracks without commercial studio overhead. Whether you need single-song polish, full beat production, or end-to-end EP tracking, you get hands-on arrangement, FL Studio production, full transcription, mixing, and mastering tailored to your sound—across Rock, Metal, Hip-Hop, Electronic, and Folk.
My hands-on approach protects artists through a creator-first distribution model. By keeping primary sales on Bandcamp and routing streaming through CD Baby, songwriters keep 100% ownership of their masters, build a direct financial relationship with their fan base, and shield their original intellectual property from unauthorized AI scraping and training.

Local Context: Local recording studios in Greater Portland typically charge between $50 to $80 per hour for basic tracking without production guidance, arrangement help, or genre-specific sound design. Combining 10+ years of DAW expertise with full-spectrum production, transcription, and mastering gives independent artists a complete, end-to-end album partner at a fraction of commercial studio costs.
"The Artist EP Launchpad" (Comprehensive Project Package)
$1,200 flat (paid upfront or split 50/50).
Pre-Production: Songwriting analysis, full song transcription, and structural arrangements.
Production & DAW Tracking: Up to 10 hours of in-home studio recording, sound design, and beat/instrumental production in FL Studio across any genre (Rock, Metal, Hip-Hop, Electronic, or Folk).
Post-Production & Distribution Prep: High-end digital mixing, mastering to release-ready standards, metadata tagging, and setup assistance for your releases.
Digital Distribution & Human Rights Philosophy
Primary Platform: All music releases are set up primarily through Bandcamp to ensure you own your masters, build a direct-to-fan subscriber base, and get paid directly.
Streaming Aggregation: For Spotify, Apple Music, and other major streaming platforms, distribution is set up upon request specifically through CD Baby. We intentionally utilize CD Baby to protect your intellectual property and prevent unauthorized AI scraping or ingestion of your original tracks.
Studio Scope, Marketing, & Stream Disclaimers
Home Studio Capabilities: Services are conducted using high-quality home studio gear and FL Studio. I do not operate out of a commercial, full-scale recording facility. All tracks, mixes, and masters are produced at an EP / high-grade demo level—ideal for fan releases, physical merch, and label pitching.
Marketing & Streams: Great production creates a great product, but production does not guarantee streams, playlist placements, or sales. Marketing and PR are separate, specialized fields that fall outside the scope of this consultancy. You are responsible for your own promo and marketing campaigns.
Studio production blocks cancelled with less than 48 hours' notice forfeit the session deposit to cover reserved room and hardware setup time. Cancellations with more than 48 hours' notice may reschedule using their session credit within 45 days
