FAQ- Audio Recording

How does a mobile Audio recording studio work?

Basically, I bring my equipment the your location, which includes my computer, interface, cables, stands and microphones, set it all up and capture the best possible recording for the space your in.

Won't there be too much background noise?

For the most part, as long as you record in a quiet space, the recording will be fine. The sensitivity and pick-up direction of a microphone can be fine-tuned to reduce unwanted sounds (bleed) and various digital tools and filters can be used in the mixing process.

How would a typical session go?

I would arrive at the predetermined time and set-up, which takes about 15 minute for a stereo recording of a piano. Then the session would start and we would do an hour of recording. After the session ends we would work out the details of delivery. You can choose to receive the raw WAV files and have someone else do the mixing/mastering or you can have me do it. I will have a quote for that service ready by the end of the session.

FAQ - Lessions

Are all the lessons you offer online?

The short answer is no, Unfortunately I do not have a good place to do in-person lessons in my home, but I am willing to come to you and could eventually rent some space somewhere.

Is the advertised rate per hour adjustable?

Yes, lesson rates can be prorated for a number of reasons. The minimum is $15 and the max is currently $50. Half hour lessons are also available.

How would the first lesson/consultation go?

This is just a free 30 minute zoom meeting (or over the phone) where we can get an idea of what your musical needs are. I expect to answer a lot of questions but if you have something you'd like to work on that is fine. Think of it as a chance to audition me. I offer a lot of other services and we can discuss any of those needs as well.
