20+ years of big sounding records.

For every project, my goal is to bring the artist's vision to the next level. To know what that vision is, I believe it's important to have a conversation about your ideas and your goals. Then I will create a plan on how to get there.
With every project I take on I give my full attention and expertise until the client is completely satisfied.

It's been great arranging this beautiful song on piano,
I just can hope to collaborate with Perry again soon!

Interview with Perry Leenhouts

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Recording, Mixing, mastering.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Poppy punk stuff, heavy rock 'n roll, metal.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Find out how you can make all the tracks work together, not how well they sound in solo mode!
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I mix 95% in the box. Once in a while I'll use some outboard gear if I'm going for a specific effect or treatment, but I love the flexibility and freedom that working in the box provides. I work in Pro Tools. My main monitors are Genelec 8040b's, setup in a well treated room.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: There's a place for both. I'm a fan of recording through analog gear, and mixing in the digital domain.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What are you trying to achieve with this album, creatively speaking?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Articulate your goals and expectations. It's important we're on the same page, that way I can help you reach your potential.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: Like many producers and mixing engineers, I started out as a musician. First as a drummer, then as the lead singer for the surfpunk band The Travoltas. After a few album releases, I started producing and mixing records for other bands.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Creating a clear, open, and detailed mix.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: My ears, and my conviction a song has to invoke an emotional response. A song needs to be able to tell a story, through melody, rhythm, and words. My goal is to bolster the elements in a song that people will remember.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: If the project needs editing, I'll start with that. Then it's setting up the routing, so by the time I get to mixing I can focus 100% on the creative aspect of the job. I create a quick raw mix so I can listen through the whole song, and go from there.
