Audio Consulting

In addition to drum tracking projects, Alex is also available for consulting opportunities. We rarely excel in our professions or hobbies on our own; sometimes all we need is a bit of guidance and education to help us build towards, and achieve, our goals.

Having grown his career as a remote session drummer, as well as building out his own professional home studio, Alex lends his experience to help others do the same in the following areas—

• Getting started in the world of self-recorded audio

  • Microphone, interface, preamp / hardware selection guidance for your needs and budget

• Drum and percussion recording and mixing techniques (all skill levels)

• Home studio build-outs and acoustic treatments

• Use and creation of drum samples

Consultations can vary depending on the client’s needs; from one session to recurring consultations, via video chat (Zoom, FaceTime, etc.), telephone, or in-person.

Recent CLIENT TESTIMONIALS:

“When I recently had the opportunity to put together a home recording setup, Alex was a huge asset. He guided me toward gear that would best fit my needs and budget, while providing tons of useful information along the way. There are a lot of ways to go in the audio world, but Alex brought the process down to earth and got me going with a setup that I love.”

—Mark Levy | Drums : Circles Around The Sun

“When upgrading my home studio, I was filled with questions. Alex has answers. From learning more about the gear I had, to finding new techniques and directions, Alex has a wealth of knowledge for the home recordist. He is a great teacher. Thanks, Alex!”

—Travis McNamara | Banjo, Vocals : Trout Steak Revival

“I started working with and receiving advice from Alex in the beginning of COVID. After playing in live settings for 20+ years, I needed help transitioning to the studio-only environment. After messing around with an audio interface and Garageband, I knew I needed to upgrade my studio gear, and Alex helped me pick out great and affordable equipment. He has a vast knowledge of all things recording and I continue to lean on him whenever I have questions. He’s really great at explaining and communicating in a way that’s understandable for someone who is new to this world of home studio and engineering. It’s truly a pleasure to have someone this knowledgeable in the music industry, and one who quickly responds to my questions.”
