I can work out of any studio (or basement with a few mics) that you want, provided the studio allows free-lance engineers to come in. That being said, I do have relationships with studios I have worked at before, and may be able to offer better rates.
While I am not here to discourage you from recording yourself, having a trained engineer can help you to get the exact sound you want within your budget.
It depends on the studio and your budget. My personal rate is negotiable, and I will work in exchange for tattoos, but the studio hourly rate is not something I have any say over. The cost of your project can be anywhere from a handful of tattoos to a couple grand. It all depends on your budget
Yes! I have experience recording to tape. The cost of the tape will be added to your deposit.
Yes!
Yep, I went to NYU Gallatin and graduated with a concentration in acoustics. This can either be applied to audio or environmental engineering.
