Recording, Mixing, Mastering

We’ll definitely be working with DB again in the future. I feel blessed to have found an engineer with an ear for not only the sound but also the vibe we were going for. I’m a bit of a perfectionist and I take a lot of pride in my work so it was a breath of fresh air to work with someone who was just as committed to getting it done right. If you looking for a truly talented engineer, look no further.

Dave is a great guy and a hard worker. He produced an album for my old band in 2015 and it was an amazing experience. He wasn't afraid of using outboard gear to shape the tones and he knew how to alter the setup from song to song to achieve the sounds he was hearing. His approach to recording and some of the talks we had during this project really encouraged and inspired me to work towards a career in engineering for myself. I look forward to working with Dave again in the future, and I absolutely recommend him as an engineer and producer!

David Badstubner is an absolute gem to work with. His knowledge of outboard gear, plugins, instruments & room acoustics makes him invaluable as an engineer. He also has a gift in understanding psychology & sociology which makes the entire recording experience smoother as David helps navigate band & creator dynamics. He also has made room for me, an artist with a knack for the tech side of things, to spread my wings in the studio as a producer & engineer. The days of hard lines between artist & engineer are over. David is about vibe, not about ego. More sessions to come with DB!

Dave's kindness, compassion and dedication are unmatchable. I've recorded two studio albums with him at the helm and would absolutely work with him again and again. As an engineer is brings a focus and intention to every take that made me feel more than capable to not just complete the tasks at hand, but also to explore and delve deeper into the sound and energy of every track. He is patient and compassionate with his clients and above all, he will record a really awesome record for you!

I worked on an album with Dave for about two weeks, and in that time he taught me a lot about not just the technical side of recording, but recording philosophy and studio etiquette. He pulled great performances out of the whole band and made it a great experience. I look forward to working with Dave again in the future and I would recommend him to anyone.

Working with Dave was an absolute pleasure! All I had to do was say a few key words and time and time again, he would deliver me exactly what I what I had in mind. He's incredibly humble, but don't let that fool ya. He is a big reason why my EP won Pop Album of the year for the New Mexico Music Awards. The amazing production of the album is often one the first things mentioned and that is in large part, thanks to the incredible job Dave did engineering and mixing it. I am definitely calling upon his expertise again in the future! Even if I have to fly him back to New Mexico!

Dave Badstubner is a consummate professional. Always striving for perfection and has an ear that can rival the best in the business. Words cannot describe how amazing David is. Highly recommended for any style or platform and he is a masterful teacher.

Dave Badstubner has ears of gold!! I've seen Dave work on countless projects big and small and he puts his whole heart into everything he touches. He's got about a decade of working and teaching experience under his belt and it shows through his work. His patience and attention to detail are unmatched. Nothing is rushed with Dave but never to point of getting stuck in ruts. There is literally no one I'd rather work with. Check out his stuff and see for yourself!!

I can honestly say that I couldn’t have had a more wonderful experience recording with Dave. He had the right mix of giving me ample space to explore and find the heartbeat of each song and spoken word piece to my satisfaction, and giving me enough direction and encouraging feedback to make this vision come to life. He made the environment feel easy and natural ….while behind the scenes having precision and attention to details to ensure a professional product. And the mixes…WOW. He’s a genius and I could go on and on, but in short, I’ll say that Dave is a badass AND a stellar human being.

I originally met up with Dave through do diy.org. we jammed together many times and I even wrote my lead single off the album that we recorded together with him. He is a talent multi-instrumentalist in his own right. He is so much fun to work with and has an excellent sense of humor. When it came time to make the record, Dave offered to mix and do overdubs at his personal Studio. It was the best sounding recording I could have dreamed of making. When it comes down to gear and the technical side, he really knows his stuff. I would love to work with Dave again and highly recommend him.

I found Dave by happenstance. I went to his website and every song he posted was not only expertly recorded and mixed by him, but there was something special about each one of them. It was like he really took the time to learn the watermark of each artist and make sure it came through in the recording and mixing. On that small exposure, and frankly, on a gut feeling, I reached out to him for my first recording and I am so glad I did. I had heard horror stories over the years of artists recording their first album in a haze of frustration and confusion but, because of Dave, I can honestly say t

Dave is a magician. He has recorded some of the best sounding songs that I have AND he is an amazing teacher. He taught me how to play the guitar, how to record, even how to properly fold a cable. His endless support has pushed me to let go and work beyond my own expectations. He is selfless and has so much love for the work that he does. Over the past ten years of knowing him, I have developed a strong desire for anolage recording, I have toured and played countless shows all around the world. His attention to detail is Impecable. He’s the BEST and you won’t regret it if you work with him.
