Specializing in overcoming the challenges of working with orchestral instruments and mixes. Strings, horns, percussion, you name it! Forensics experience to remove unwanted details, while bringing the recording to the standards of the industry.
Our engineers use top of the line equipments and modern techniques to produce some of the most coveted classical records. We primarily work with location recording, so we understand the difficulties of working with subpar recordings. If you already have a recording, reach out to us for mixing and mastering services. You can bundle these services, or only book one or the other.

Interview with Rocky Rhythms Studio
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Analog for mojo, digital for transparency.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: SoundDevices MixPre 10ii, 2xSchoeps MK4, and two cables.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Traditional, yet creative.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: The MET Orchestra. In my opinion this is the best orchestra in the United States. I love listening to them and I've got to know some of the musicians from the orchestra over the years. I hope to receive that phone call one day to record them.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Keep it simple. You can accomplish really tricky things with a simple parametric EQ, rather than putting the audio through endless plugins.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Classical, orchestral, and other acoustic ensembles.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: A producer's approach to mixing and mastering. My job is to make your music marketable to the masses.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: 1. Constant communication with the clients. 2. Project setup. 3. Splices, restoration, and other adjustments if needed. 4. Sound stage design. 5. Tonal design. 6. Mastering.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: We try to work in-the-box for classical records. Our mastering chain includes Manley Variable Mu and Massive Passive, but we rarely reach out for them. Digital audio tracked at 96kHz bundled with modern plugins is perfect for maintaining transparency.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Definitely Decca Gold, Blue Note, and Mercury Classics productions.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Location recording, mixing, and mastering classical music.
