I'm a young sound engineer who specializes in working with indi artists and indi labels. I provide those artists with albums that fit in with and the industry standard and stand out among others in an industry that is becoming more and more accessible and competitive.
I grew up listening to The Boss, Green Day and Against Me! to name a few bands that shaped the way I mix. I've spent time spent working under the great Alan Douches of West West Side Music, and learning from him.
My goal is to provide every client I work with, with major label album on a indi budget. Your album will be mixed at a professional recording and mastering studio which utilizes both analog and digital mixing to provide you with a mix that has the flexibility of digital with the warmth and color that can only com from tube and transition circuits. In addition to outboard gear we have reel to reel tape machines that can handle every size tape you can imagine.
In the live room you can get your hands on a number of our vintage guitars and amplifiers that sound as good as they feel in your hand. The live room has the on stage feel to it while still maintaining space and separation between everyone to get a perfect recording.
If audio post is more your style the A room is where its at. Set up for 5.1 surround sound, all our audio post is mixed in here, your movie, podcast, volg will be mixed in here, running through our vintage outboard gear to give it the warmth and set it apart from the rest.
Send me a message and lets make some awesome projects together. I book by project for all Audio post so contact me and we'll work something out.

Interview with Casey Palumbo
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I love being able to talk with the artists about what inspired the particular song or album that I'm working on. It not only helps me find something that inspired them to references as an homage but I also introduce myself to new music to enjoy in my down time.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I'd love to work with Against Me! they have been my favorite band since my teen years and to have the chance to be apart of something they do would be amazing!
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I work with with everything from jazz to metal, though I do specialize in punk and pop punk
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring my own view of music and the music industry, I know this is not a great answer, but its the truth, how I hear a song is different than how you do. By combining your vision with what I hear the collaboration between artist and engineer, or artist and producer, if there is a good bond there the art will be stronger.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have a digital analog blend, Protools interfaces with a Sony MXP3000 which patches in to vintage, high end analog gear. I also have various HD plug-in bundles. The console also connects with no less than 4 immaculate reel to reel tape machines to increase options if one decides to work all in the analog domain.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Some of my earliest memories are of Listening to Bruce Springsteen, The Boss, with my mom in the car and the vinyl around the house. In my formative years I grew in to punk music and the scene, Latching on to the likes of Green Day, Against Me! and The Replacements. These bands shaped the way I look at music. I strive to give other punks the Hifi sound of the modern world while still maintaining the essence of the genre
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: To deliver a mix that will stand up with the industry standards, and give my clients fans quality they have come to expect from the industry
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both? I like being able to have the flexibility of digital to use my favorite plugins on any and every channel I choose. I also like being able to patch in the analog gear in the room and use it to color the sounds as needed.
