Yes — just send me the link to your beat, and I’ll have it ready for your session. All you need to do is bring your music links, and I’ll handle the rest.

The studio is set up for up to 3 people at a time. It’s a focused space, so you and your crew can stay comfortable and locked in.

You’ll get your vocal files and mixes before you leave the studio — no waiting. Everything is ready same day.

Just bring your energy and your music links. If you have lyrics or notes, bring those too — I’ll take care of the rest.

Yes — if you’ve recorded your vocals somewhere else and want me to handle the mix, I can do that. Contact me for a custom quote, and I’ll let you know the next steps: [email protected]

If you’re looking to record one full song with a mix, 2 hours is a good choice. If you want to take your time or work on multiple ideas, go for the Complete Artist Session.

Mixing is included in our sessions, and if you’re looking for mastering, let’s talk — I can give you a custom quote: [email protected]

I’ll handle the engineering for your session, so you don’t need to bring anyone else. If you want to bring a producer or collaborator, they’re welcome as part of your 3-person limit.

No problem — I’ll guide you through the session, and we can work together to make sure you feel confident in your performance.

You’ll need to bring your beat or track — I focus on recording and mixing vocals.

Yes, depending on how long your session is. Shorter sessions are best for 1 song, but if you book a longer session, you can work on multiple tracks.

If you need to reschedule, just reach out at least 72 hours before your session.

I’ll send your files digitally before you leave the studio.

Absolutely — I work with artists at all levels, from first-timers to experienced creators.

Yes — I’ll give you guidance along the way to help you get the best takes.

I have a few session options depending on what you’re looking for. Prices start at $100 for a Quick Start Session, which is great for quick recordings. Most artists go with the Pro Studio Session at $150, which includes recording and mixing. If you want more time to create and finish a full track, the Complete Artist Session is $280, with 3 hours of recording and an extra hour for mixing.

I do offer custom rates for longer bookings. Just send me the dates and how much time you’re looking to book, and I’ll give you a custom quote that works for your project.

Definitely. If you’re working on a full project, let’s talk. Send me how many songs you’re planning and your timeline, and I’ll work out a custom quote for you.

I keep my rates straightforward, but if you’re booking multiple sessions, planning a full album, or need a longer studio block, reach out with your details — I’ll work out a custom quote that fits your project.

I send out monthly deals and exclusive offers through my weekly alerts. Sign up to get early access to specials, session openings, and more.

It’s all good — I’ve got you. We’ll work together during the session to get the takes you feel good about. If something’s not sounding right, we’ll adjust and run it back until you’re confident in your recording.

You’ll be working with me, Rick. 

I’ve been engineering for over 20 years, and my focus is simple: help you get clean, professional vocals and make sure you walk out with a track you feel good about. 

I work with artists at all levels, from hobbyists to serious creators.

No — this studio is vocal-focused. I don’t record full bands or live instruments, but if you’re looking to record vocals for your project, you’re in the right place.

Yes — I offer remote mixing and mastering services. If you’ve recorded your vocals elsewhere, just send me your files, and I’ll work with you to get a polished, professional sound. Contact me for a custom quote.

Yes — I also offer audiobook production services. If you’re looking to record and produce an audiobook, reach out with your project details, and I’ll give you a custom quote.

The studio is in South Bound Brook, NJ, near Rutgers University. I’ll send you the exact address and details when you book your session.

I speak English and Spanish, and the studio is open to artists from all backgrounds. Use whatever you’re comfortable with — the goal is to make your session as smooth as possible.

Yes — we can connect live with other studios or collaborators through remote software for real-time sessions. If you’re working with a producer or engineer elsewhere, let me know before your session.

You can text me at 732-646-8775 or email me at [email protected]. If you have any questions about your session or need a custom quote, just reach out!

I use Pro Tools — it’s the industry standard for recording and mixing. This is the same software used in major studios, so you’re getting pro-level sound every session.

I’ve got a wide variety of tools in the studio — pro microphones, preamps, EQs, and the right plugins to get your vocals sounding clean and polished. If there’s a specific mic or piece of gear you’re looking for, reach out and let me know. If I don’t have it in the studio, I can usually rent it for your session.

Nope — that’s why I’m here. We’ll get you sounding right in the studio, and if needed, I’ve got a few secret weapons to clean it up. (Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.)

I can get you close, but you’ll still sound like you — and that’s a good thing.

Studio time is by appointment only — no walk-ins. Gotta give the gear time to warm up and the engineer time to drink some coffee. ☕️

Of course — auto-tune is like hot sauce: a little, a lot, or none at all.

Yep — I’ve got tools to clean things up. But don’t worry too much — we’ll get solid takes during your session, and I’ll help guide you along the way. Mistakes happen, that’s what editing is for.

Yup — there’s a client parking space near the garage. Pull up and you’re good to go. No street parking hassle here.

If there’s no one scheduled right after your session, yes — you can extend your time. Just let me know during your session, and I’ll let you know what’s available.

Payment is made before booking your session. Once you lock in your time and pay, you’re all set and ready to record.

Yes — you’ll be working directly with me, Rick. If you have questions before your session, feel free to text or email me anytime at 732-646-8775 or [email protected]. I’ll help you get everything ready before you hit the studio.

My main focus is getting your recording and mix sounding right, but if you need guidance on releasing your music, I’ve got some tips and resources I can share. Just ask during your session — I’m happy to help point you in the right direction.

Show up right at your booked time — I’ll have everything set and ready for you. No need to come early.

Of course — it’s your session time, and you’re welcome to take a quick break if you need to reset and stay fresh.

Artists under 18 are welcome, but you’ll need to bring a parent or guardian to your session.

You can send your beat ahead of time, or bring the link with you to the session. Either way works — just make sure you’ve got your files or links ready.

I recommend you save your files right after the session, but I do keep backups for a short time in case you need them.

The studio doesn’t have a bathroom, but no stress — there’s a QuickChek right down the street.

Not inside the studio or control room — smoke damages the gear. But you’re welcome to step outside the studio if you need to. We’ll keep your session running smoothly.

Yeah, you can grab some behind-the-scenes clips for your socials. Just make sure it doesn’t block the gear or slow down the session. If you’re thinking of filming the whole session, just give me a heads-up first so we can plan it out.

Mostly artists who love making music, even if it’s not their full-time thing. Young pros, hobbyists, independent artists — people who take their sound seriously and want it to come out clean. Hip hop, trap, R&B, reggaeton, drill, fusion — I work with a good mix.
