I bring your music to Radio Quality Mixes
How did I get that Idea?
To be honest, I thought on how, way back in the early years, I as a musician let others listen to my music. With all my enthusiasm, I played to everyone who would like to hear it. On the lookout for a tiny sparkle of the same enthusiasm of the listeners. And in the years to come, that enthusiasm grew bit by bit. But, my own enthusiasm dimmed. Not because of the music of my bands wasn't good enough, nor that it wasn't played well enough. And after my first 10 years, the level of the bands I was playing in, started to get better and better. (A bit immodest to say about yourself, but that is allowed, right?)
No, it was the quality of the mixes wasn't at the same level as the songs you heard playing on the radio. And I found a few reasons for that. I will list them in random order.
My sad experiences can help you to prevent this long list of experiences. That would be nice, right? Or is it your choice to endure all these experiences yourself and learn from each one? You want to re-invent the wheel yourself?

- The band didn't have the experience to record in the studio.
- The studio had limited possibility's for recording in high quality.
- The studio didn't have equipment for high quality mixing.
- The technician didn't know the played genre well enough to make it match.
- The technician was stubborn and didn't want to change his ways.
- The recording budget was too low, and the recordings were rushed.
- Band members didn't know the song well and played it 'meh'!
- The song wasn't finished and time was lost by fixing that in the studio.
- Sometimes extra songs were rushed in to record, instead of making the first song perfect.
- Some studio equipment broke while the recording was on.
- Some instruments started producing strange noises.

You are allowed to do that, of course. Please take about 10 years and a lot of money to do so. ;-)
Perfect Sounds Unleashed
Your music in radio quality.
Your creativity is the center
Your creativity and music is the guideline, to a full song with a radio quality standard. You are musician or you have a band, and you have worked long and hard on your music. You do not want anybody just doing something with the song, without knowing if the possible end result can be reached. Just because someone has a recording studio, or just because they only want to record and mix your music.
You are looking for the right person, who has the skills and wants to be involved in making your music stand out. And who is willing to connect with you on a creative level. Who can translate your idea's to a improvement of the song(s), with an end result of: your music in a radio quality mixed song. Someone who is willing to help with all kinds of preparations, even before you start recording.
You are willing to work with someone, who lifts you and your fellow band members up to a higher performance while recording. Who is even willing to help you reach out to your fans and provides help finding new fans. My knowledge and experience can help you prevent 'Studio experience gone wrong' moments with the added 'loosing money' on that. I'll provide you with all in- and out's before you come and record your song(s).
The recording process doesn't start in my studio. We'll start way ahead of the scheduled first day of recording instruments. We will take time to prepare every step. You won't get surprises in my studio when we record. You'll feel confident to do your thing, and other band members are as confident, because everyone knows what is expected.
And every one will play the song with a slight possibility of minor mistakes.
I already have done this process many times with success. How about you?
