I'm always on the hunt for good Rock & Roll, Punk, Stoner, Shoegaze and Alternative bands to record and mix. My sound is very Rock & Roll with present, punch drums and a lower mid range growl that keeps listeners pressing play over and over.
I love the Rock & Roll and Punk. Classic and modern sounds working together. Dynamic but in your face. Music that has real feeling behind it.

With both analog and digital tools, I use various hardware pieces and a good selection of UA, FabFilter, and Waves plugins to get your songs mixed exactly how they need to be.
If your songs are recorded and need to be mixed, we can get started right away. Do you still need to record yours songs are able to record near Atlanta or Nashville, I'm available to track and/or produce your songs.
Need real drums for your music? I've been playing drums for over 18 years and have various kits and snares to get the right drums sounds.
I also do website design. If you, your band, business or organization needs a website, I can help with that too.

Endorse Kyle Troop Faraday Recordings
check_circleVerifiedKyle is a drummer full of interesting ideas that offer a fresh perspective to the song! We had a very smooth collaboration; he was very responsive and always willing to adjust his playing to my needs. Can't ask for more. I hope to work with him again!
I had such a blast recording with Kyle Troop at Faraday Recordings. He was professional, kind, and so easy to work with. For anyone looking for an excellent affordable recording in north Georgia, I highly recommend checking out Faraday. Kyle is a great guy and will bring out the best in your music.
Kyle is one of the most talented drummers and musicians I know. On top of that, he is an outstanding guy. He brings awesome energy and a unique ear to projects. I would recommend Kyle without any hesitation and look forward to doing more work with him in the future!
Kyle has the kind of positive attitude that is contagious. He elevates & energizes everyone involved. He's a real gear head & know his stuff. I could rave about his technical knowledge & the quality of his recordings but it really all comes down to the vibes & how comfortable you feel in his studio. His wife Tiffany is the greatest too.
Working with Kyle is a breeze. He makes the whole process of recording very un-intimidating, whether or not you're an experienced musician. He's great at directing a project without taking it over, maintaining the artist's original vision throughout the recording process. Kyle is totally reliable, totally dependable, super-talented and capable.
I recorded a 3 track EP with my band with Kyle at Faraday Recordings a few months ago. I was blown away by how good the EP sounded from a production standpoint' He is a very talented producer. I will be recording a full length album with the same band in spring with Kyle, because I know he will do an awesome job. I highly recommend recording here!
Interview with Kyle Troop Faraday Recordings
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Evan Andree. He's the dude. We work together often.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: There is a balance between analog and digital. I like using outboard pres and compressors right along with the Apollo 16 and Logic X. It's about the big picture. But I really am a gear junkie. So I'm weighted on the side of analog.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Don't be afraid to get weird and try out new ways of recording things. The worst that will happen is it might sound bad. But the flip side is that you might find something really rad that you can keep in your back pocket for another project.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I gravitate to rock & roll, indie, punk, pop punk, alternative and americana.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is consistency. I know how my drums need to be tuned. I'm very kick and snare pattern oriented to lock in the beat.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: What I bring to a song is the enhancement of the main idea or theme of the song. I love playing drums and beating the crap out of them. But if a song needs something subtle or dynamic, then that's what I bring.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: When starting to work on a song I like to listen to the reference tracks a few times. Then play along with it and see what naturally happens. After that I compare what I played to any notes or requests from the client and start getting to work on putting it all together in a way that suits the song best.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My studio, Faraday Recordings, is currently a home studio. My room sounds very rock and roll with the drum sounds I'm capturing. On the front end, I mostly use Daking and BBE pres that go into a UA Apollo 16. I have both Pro Tools 11 and Logic X. I prefer Logic for tracking. I have 2 different SJC kits and an assortment of snares.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I'm inspired by anyone who steps out there to create something. Atom Willard, Derek Grant and Ben Cato are some of my favorite drummers. I look a lot to engineers & producers that are finding the right balance between vintage a modern gear, but care about the song above all else. Laura Jane Grace, Butch Walker, Ryan Adams and Trent Reznor and some of my favorites.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Most of my work is creating and recording music for licensing in all styles of music. I also produce, track and mix songwriters and bands, mostly rock & roll and americana.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I have always wanted to play drums and record music for a living. I started learning to play the drums 17 years ago. Recording came not long after.

- Blud Buzz - Out Now on 411 MusicJul 24, 2017
I had some fun writing and recording some songs with a good friend of mine. It's called Blud Buzz and it's available on all the digital platforms. All of the drums, bass and guitar were played and tracked by me. It's rock and roll and I hope you go check it out.

This is my band out of Nashville. The drums on the song were played and tracked by me. Really stoked on how the video turned out.
Check it out on YouTube! - MilkySway Releases Planetary RideDec 28, 2016
It's especially cool to record and mix those bands that I'm already a fan. MilkySway is one of those bands. They made it easy with coming in and nailing their songs with great tone. I'm excited to do more with MilkySway.
Check out Planetary Ride on Spotify, iTunes and SoundCloud.
