How we make a record
It all happens in one room, and we work through the whole song together — from the first thing you record to the master you upload. Nobody hands it off to someone else halfway through.
The five stages
VIBE · REFERENCE · TEMPO & KEY
Could be a voice memo recorded in the bathroom, a Spotify song you're referencing, or a hook you've been singing to yourself since Tuesday. We listen through it, talk about what you're going for and land on a direction — tempo, key, feel — before anything starts.
You leave the first session with a direction — tempo, key, references, a feel everyone agrees on.
DRUMS · 808 · CHORDS · HOOK
We build the beat from scratch, around your song. Drums and 808s down, chords on top, the hook until it sticks. We loop and adjust until it actually feels right — not until it sounds roughly okay.
The beat exists, built around your song. Drums, 808s, chords, hook — all yours.
VOCALS · COACHING · COMPING
We record and guide as we go — flow, melody, delivery. Comping along the way so you leave with real performances. Not a pile of raw takes to sort through at home.
Real performances comped on the spot. You leave with the vocal, not a hard drive of takes.
BALANCE · DEPTH · 2 REVISIONS
We mix it down and make sure it actually sounds good — vocals forward, low end tight, everything where it should be. You give feedback, and we do revisions until it sounds like what you were hearing in your head.
The record translates anywhere — phones, cars, club systems. Two revisions baked in.
MASTER · STEMS · INSTRUMENTAL
Final pass and loudness for streaming, then we send the files — the master, clean stems and the instrumental. You leave with a finished record. The files are yours.
Master, stems and instrumental — delivered the day we finish. Yours to release, license, remix.
Why this works
Same room, same people, all five stages. Nothing gets translated through email between studios.
We don't bill back for tweaks. Mix revisions are part of the run — not a charge that shows up after.
Master, stems and instrumental — sent the day we finish. No licensing tricks, no lease, no clawback.
Production, mix, master — built by the same people who heard the first voice memo.
