I recently completed a song-writing session with Zach. His professional fusion of creativity, patience, and cleverness exceeded my expectations. I'm walking away feeling sharpened and excited to build this project with Zach's expertise laced through out the entire process.
High recommendations to Carpet Booth Studios!

Excellent equipment, comfortable atmosphere, and high quality work. Zach does a great job realizing the artists vision for a reasonable price. Definitely good for established and new artists alike Zach is the man.

A: We're running a Trident Dream 32 I/O recording/mixing console for most recordings, but we've got some Neve 1073LB Pres, a UA 6176 Channel Strip, and tons of other outboard gear. Everything is running into a 2017 Mac Pro, and usually we're running ProTools, but we've got Ableton and Logic Pro as well. For a full list of gear check out our website carpetbooth.com/gear

Giving pre production advice, production during the recording process, engineering to ensure the right sounds for each project, and all of the post production work.
