Hello, I'm Simon. I've been helping local underground bands in CT make music for the past 12 years and I'm looking to branch out and help like minded folks with their mixes . My methods are basic and fundamental, focusing on musician's performances. If you like raw and real, you've come to the right place.
24 Track analogue mixing, digital mastering. Outboard processing, summing. Any extra instruments or backing vocals needed I can help with without breaking your bank. Anything project over 24 tracks will have to be submixed by me, with additional costs, or by you, to come within the track count. This is underground production, this isn't polished. This is punk rock recording for all genres.
I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.
Interview with UP Recording Studio
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Martin Birch, Jimmy Page, Pink Floyd, early Metal Blade recordings, anything that sounds down to earth.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both. Digital is the best way to capture audio these days for folks on a budget, but you need analog in there as well to keep it sounding it's best, in my opinion.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I ask them if they have any questions and what their expectations are.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Ask questions and make sure to voice your expectations before the job is started.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: 12 years at a professional level. Much longer at a amateur level.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Down to earth.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Anyone who realizes it's ok to be themselves.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Audio recording and playback is done with a Radar 6 recorder. I have a Toft ATB board along with outboard compressors and effects.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Most of my clients come into my studio to take a recording from start to finish. I work for independent artists on a tight budget
