Studio Session Features
Coaching
The producer guides the artist through songwriting, teaching tools for crafting meaningful lyrics and chords. During recording, they focus on rhythm, melody, and harmony, ensuring the vocals fit the song’s potential. By refining harmonies and making adjustments, the producer’s goal is to create a powerful and impactful song.
Tailored Refinements for the Perfect Fit
The producer may suggest slight changes to the lyrics and melody to better align with the overall structure and mood of the production, but only with the artist’s approval. The artist’s preferences remain the top priority, and if they don’t connect with the changes, the producer will revert to the previous versions the artist preferred.
Custom Instrumentation
The producer will add instrumentation tailored to the artist’s style, genre, and vision for the song. This can include a variety of instruments such as drums, bass, guitar, strings, piano, synthesizers, and any others that enhance the song’s overall feel and direction.

Artists will record with a $4,500 Soyuz U17 Tube Microphone, a top-tier, industry-standard piece of equipment. Paired with a range of professional-grade analog tools, this setup ensures that each recording captures the highest quality sound, elevating the artist’s performance to its fullest potential.
