SERVICES
Producing
You've worked hard on your music and it is my job to capture all of the emotion and energy that you've poured into it and make it better. Your vision for the project is the most important thing. My goal is to capture the best possible performances and turn it into something you'll love to hear time and time again. Whether we're tracking a full live band or a full in the box production, we can capture any sound you hear in your head.
Mixing
Mixing is my specialty. Once you've recorded all of the elements to your song, mixing them together is crucial to making your music sound just the way you want it. This is where your song becomes clear, energetic, punchy, and exciting. With a great collection of analog and digital tools, I can help you shape your song into its best sonic form.
Session Guitar
Whether you are working on a country record, a pop single, or a worship recording and anything in between, my guitar playing will add an element that you were missing from your song. I have a wide collection of guitars, amps, pedals and effects to choose from to craft the perfect tone for each guitar part. I can track remotely from my studio or in person at your studio of choice.
MUSIC
My sound, the important part! These are some examples of songs I have recently produced, mixed, played guitar on, or in most cases, all of the above!

TESTIMONIALS
"Daniel's tracks are always super easy to work with and I appreciate that. I tell him 'keep doing what you're doing.' When the tones and source are good, it's easy to mix!"
David Key
Producer (Clark Beckham, Eli Parker, The Shoemakers)
"In order for a creative vision to be brought to life, sometimes it takes an eye for detail and the relentless drive for the outcome to come to fruition. Daniel takes the time and attention to translate the artist's creative project and turn it into a polished and high quality product worthy to be shared with your audience and listeners."

"Been a blessing working with Daniel my last two albums, His instinct and passion drive the recording process. His attention to detail and gifted ear were critical in developing all my songs. He is a talented multi-instrumental player that brings engineering to a new level!"
