Studio & Engineering

My Bed-Stuy home studio is a well-treated, mix-focused room for recording, editing, mixing, and mastering. I offer mixing and mastering, multitrack editing, guitar re-amping, and limited tracking for smaller projects and video shoots, with up to 16 inputs available.

Processing is currently in the box; starred outboard gear is offline.
