I worked before with Austin. He is a great producer! For this project I needed some cool keyboard tracks, so I reached out to him. He was able to turn around a bunch of amazing tracks in a couple of days. Thanks Austin!

Austin did a great production, playing all the instruments and really getting a feel for the song. It was very well balanced but musical and current sounding (whatever that means!). Easy to work with as well. Highly recommended.

Always amazed out how he catches my artistic vision as a producer, and is willing to take a bit of extra time making sure everything is just right. You'll be happy if you go with Austin!

Interview with Austin Moorhead

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Home Studio with 2 ISO booths and guitar amp ISO box, Distressor EL8X Compressor, Chandler TG2 Abbey Road Stereo Pre, WAVES complete plugins/ tons of others, Tons of Mics, Pedal Steel/ Dobro/ Acoustics/ Mandolin, Apogee Duet 2, LOTS of other stuff!
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both!! I use a mix of both in almost every project I do. Sometimes you need a piece of hardware for what you're doing, but a lot of times digital plugins work better for what you need. I don't use "templates", and am always trying new things to get the sound I want for the project.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I promise I will do my best to find the sound YOU want, and not try to put my mark on it as a player. I listen and work with the artist/ producer and won't stop until we have exactly what you want.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I always ask for at least a couple reference tracks that you think fit the style of what you're going for.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Matches Water Purifier Fishing Pole Swiss Army Knife Gibson J45
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I love adding the "frosting" on top of the cake. By that I mean instruments like Pedal Steel and Dobro, which add a sweet layer on top of the track you've already worked hard to make. I aim for tasteful and stylistic parts and will never sound "showy". It's always about the song for me and not about the individual parts. It's ALL about the groove. Whether it's a country/ folk track or a pop/rock track, I'll find the sound/ style you want and work to make that come out.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Don't overuse compression/ effects, or over-complicate parts. And don't record in a vaccuum. Meaning, don't isolate parts and make them sound the best they can on their own. This will actually make the recording worse. When mixing a project, all that matters is how the tracks sound together. Also, don't be afraid to try different/ weird things. If you have a hip-hop track and think pedal steel would sound cool on it, let's do it!! That's more than one tip, but there you go....
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Country, Indie, Pop
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: As a player, I feel like my strongest asset is arranging/ coming up with the right parts for a song. If you have something that you think needs something and can't figure out what it is, I will work to find the right part to fit it. Whether that's some shiny pedal steel guitar parts on top of your track, or some dobro for a swampier sound, or rhythm acoustic guitar to glue the track together, I'll work to make your track sound the best it can. The parts/ mixes you get from me will always be top studio quality and I will work as hard/ long on a project as I need to until you're happy with it. I will do as many revisions on a project that you want until we get it right where you want it.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I'm a Session Musician offering Pedal Steel Guitar, Dobro, Mandolin, and Acoustic Guitar tracks for your projects. I'm also a mixing engineer and offer very competitive pricing for mixing full projects. I also am available to build full instrumental tracks. This includes arrangements, performing, recording, and mixing an entire song from scratch. You send me a guitar/ vocal or piano/ vocal demo of your song, and I'll take it from there. Revisions are free until you're happy with it!
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I just finished an album for Nashville based Country/ rock artist Parker McKay- EP I did the Production, Mixing, Arrangements, Guitars (Ac. and El.), Piano.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I'm on the road a few days a week with Warner Brothers Country Artist Jana Kramer (Pedal steel, dobro, acoustic gtr), as well as always working on lots of projects in Nashville. I do session work often as well as mixing full tracks/ albums.
