The new production cabin in all its moonlit glory. This space will be available to rent as of June 2024 as a stand-alone work space / lodging or as an addition to the main studio. Really proud of this space. Endless thanks to those that helped me build it along the way!

With my production and mixing schedule nearly full headed into summer and the addition of even more onsite lodging as of May 1st - I’m looking to open up to even more freelance producers / engineers as well as bands looking for a place to write or even rehearse for upcoming tours. I’m keeping these rates low since it will still allow me to work on other mixing projects as well as pursuing my other passion: wandering the desert aimlessly with my cat. Interested in a tour of the studio or want more details? Shoot me a message. Current studio availability is posted in the highlight section of page. I want great music to flow out of this beautiful place year round whether I’m pushing the buttons or someone else is

Year in gear (as inspired annually by )
1 ) orchestra acoustic. Sounds great , easy to play, looks great. The perfect alternative to my very thin sounding seagull s6 that I also love.
2) Sound skulptor AB528 - a diy clone of the tg2. This thing sounds incredible. Built 2, definitely screwed the build on 1 but the working one is killer on guitars and vocals and under $300
3) tiny hands. I use these to hold mic balances in place for summing purposes. They also look great on my cat.
4) Delisle amp selector - a way to keep 4 heads routed to the Same cabinet so I don’t have to swap cables constantly.
5) type 19 microphone. Imagine the sound of a vintage u47 in the body of a 414. I want 10
More of these. Killer on vocals, guitar amps, kick drum and drum room.
6) .berlin KH310 monitors with sub. - I used the same pair of Adam’s for about a decade. I was nervous to move onto new Monitors but holy hell they translate like no other. I don’t question any moves, big or small when working on these.
7) fujifilm instax 210 camera - great focus, killer size.
8) My studio - I saw a photo of it in a listing late last year and thought it would have an amazing drum sound. I was wrong. I cannot stress how happy I am with the purchase of this property. Every morning I’m in awe of the surroundings. A lot of incredible music has been made here since April. Stoked to hear lots more for the remainder of my life 🌙
Way more active on ig than fb but here ya go! Booking spring 2023 at the ranch.
