How Quick Is the Turnaround?
Turnaround times vary depending upon the diary schedule and the complexity of the project. With revisions, it can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. A lot of this time also depends on how quickly and clearly feedback is communicated.
How far in advance should I Book?
For longer sessions (Full Lengths / 10 or more days) we recommend booking your session 3-6 months in advance. Shorter sessions (Singles, EP's / Mixing) can often be booked with less notice. Please contact Liam using the Get a Quote Page to book your session in advance.
How Many Revisions are Included?
Three revisions as included as standard, with each additional revsion avaliable at a cost.
For EPs or Albums, the lead single will have upto 6 revisions to make sure we get the overall EP/Album sound dialed.
What does Full Production Include?
The full production process covers every stage from the first idea to the final release:
Pre-production – refining song structures, dialing in tones, building click tracks, and fine-tuning arrangements.
Tracking – recording drums, guitars, bass, and vocals with the right balance of power, feel, and precision.
Editing & mixing – shaping performances, enhancing impact, and giving each track its own sonic character.
Mastering – applying the final polish so the music translates perfectly across streaming platforms, CD, and vinyl.
How Much Does Recording, Mixing and Mastering Cost?
Every project is different, so pricing and production timelines are tailored to the scope of the work. Factors such as the number of songs, production & recording requirements, editing, mixing, and mastering all play a part in shaping the final proposal.
Whether you’re tracking a single, an EP, or a full-length album, the goal is always the same — to create a record that captures your sound at the highest possible standard while staying realistic to your budget and goals.
Get in touch with details about your music, influences, and what you’re looking to achieve, and I’ll put together a clear, accurate quote based on your project.
Do you offer Remote Mixing and Mastering?
Yes, I work with artists remotely all over the world. If you already have your tracks recorded, you can simply send over the raw multi-tracks and I can take care of the editing, mixing, and mastering from start to finish.
The remote process is straightforward and collaborative. Once I receive the files, we’ll discuss the direction of the project, reference tracks, and the overall sound you want to achieve. From there, I’ll handle the technical side while keeping you involved throughout the process with updates, revisions, and feedback rounds to make sure the final result reflects your vision.
Whether you’re recording at home, in another studio, or on tour, remote production makes it possible to achieve a professional, release-ready sound no matter where you’re based.
