  • Pre-Production

    Laying the groundwork for great recordings.

    Pre-Production is where your ideas start to take shape. At Studio AMM, we’re here to help you make the most of that crucial first step.

    Whether you’re coming in with rough demos, a few lyrics, or just a melody in your head, I’ll work with you to develop your songs into something studio-ready. That can mean helping structure your tracks, shaping arrangements, finding the right key and tempo, or simply talking through your vision and goals. Pre-Production is priced less than recording as you and I will be solving a musical puzzle!

    This is especially valuable if you’re new to recording. I’ll guide you through what to expect, help you feel confident in your material, and make sure we’re building a solid foundation before we start recording.

    Pre-Production sessions are collaborative, relaxed, and focused on bringing out the best in your ideas. It's the perfect opportunity to chat through your project, ask questions, and plan your next steps with absolutely no pressure.

    If you’re ready to take your music seriously, Pre-Production is the best place to begin.

    To help you get started, Studio AMM offers a free 30-minute pre-production consultation.

  • Recording.

    Capturing your best performance.

    Before we do any recording, I love to grab a coffee and break the ice while getting to know more about your project! Recording music is a deeply personal experience, and my service is 1-on-1 so it’s vitally important for us to get on the same page before we even think about setting foot in the studio.

    Whether it’s your first time behind a microphone or you’ve recorded before, I’ll guide you through the process step by step and get the best out of your performance. Every session is tailored to your style, your pace and your goals!

    Sessions are run through my Soundtracs MR Series 24 Recording Console, giving your recordings a warm, characterful tone with professional clarity. Combined with high quality microphones, and a treated room, the setup ensures that what we capture is rich, clean, and full of life.

    I’ll support you throughout the process helping with mic technique, vocal delivery, pacing, and building your confidence in the space. Every session is shaped around your goals and your sound, so you can focus on what matters: making great music

  • Mixing.

    Shaping your sound into something special.

    Once your ideas are recorded, I’ll get to mixing it. This is where we build the sound around your voice, refining the details, and bringing your music to life.

    I wouldn’t ever describe myself as a producer, however I like to get my sleeves up on production support to help you develop your tracks in a way that feels authentic and intentional. This could mean adding subtle layers, suggesting arrangement changes, or experimenting with textures and tones to enhance the feeling of your tracks.

    When it comes to mixing, the focus is balance, clarity and feeling. There are so many songs out there today that have sub par mixes however it’s jam packed with emotions. My job as Mixing Engineer is to get you over that technical threshold of where the mix sounds great as great mixes open doors to a radio play, record deals, growing a fanbase and so on.

    Whether you’re aiming for something polished and radio-ready or something more raw and intimate, we’ll shape a mix that suits your sound.

    You as the artist will be involved in every step of the process, with clear communication, creative collaboration, and plenty of space to give feedback. It’s your music, I’m just here to help it shine.

    As a thank you for trusting Studio AMM with your music, your first full mix is available at half price.
