Having been trained as an audio engineer, I can offer the unique ability to professionally record my horn performance for my clients remotely, from my home studio.
I own ultra-linear microphones and pre-amps with the explicit intention of capturing pure audio for my clients to process however they'd like. I also have experience producing tracks in my own DAW and can additionally offer my clients polished, broadcast ready horn tracks if they desire.
I also own various models of French Horns each with different tonal characteristics, allowing me to match your project's style and character at the source.
To capture the most audio possible, I prefer to record in mono in a dry booth with an ultra-linear mic and pre-amp, currently a Slate ML2 to an Audient iD14. My DAW of choice is Reaper and my signal processing, if desired, includes Slate Digital mic and pre-amp emulations, Eiosis AirEQ & Relab Lexicon 480 and/or Abbey Road Plate reverb. However, with the goal of seamless collaboration, I strive to accommodate requests to use different microphones, record in a different space and into a different DAW if need be.
I prefer to record music already composed with a provided click track to ensure rhythmic precision but I can also record to a cue without a click track or improvise a cue for a single horn solo or horn section to an already existing track.
I enjoy the process of collaborating with others to make music, I find I learn something new every time! If you are interested in working on a project with me please send me a message and we can discuss the details!
