Frequently Asked Questions

The role of the music producer is to bring a project in on budget and to help facilitate an artists vision of their music. Traditionally a recording engineer and a producer were two very distinct roles. Now engineer/producers can be the same person. A producers role can't be quite as easily defined. Collaboration is normal between artist and producer at Offbeat. It's all about chemistry and whether you want someone to control the entire process or whether you want to be part of a team.

Costs vary depending on the scope of the project — recording, arranging, mixing, mastering, and session players can all be involved. Once we’ve discussed your goals and music, I’ll provide a clear estimate.

A music producer and studio time are seperate costs. Part of the production role is to schedule studio costs for a project and keep it on track. 

We focus on projects that combine acoustic and electronic elements, from singer-songwriters to contemporary pop, dance and experimental soundscapes. If your music fits within this blend, we may be the right production partner for you.

No. To keep quality high, I only take on a few serious projects each year. Both artist and producer need to feel a strong creative fit before moving forward. I won't take on a production if I don't feel an affinity with the music.

Timelines depend on complexity and availability. A single track can often be produced in a matter of weeks, while larger projects or albums may take several months.
