**Not accepting invitations at this time. Hope to have time and energy to come back soon**
I am a vocalist, and often write my own lyrics. I am interested in many genres: pop, southern/folk/hard rock, electronica. Mainly, if a song inspires me to sing I'm up for it. My go to mic is a MXL V69ME with an upgraded Mullard tube to give an upfront present yet smooth sound. My preamp has pretty decent specs, and I use a soundbooth when necessary, so I aim to deliver high quality seps.
I do like to have input on mixes, yet I don't mix myself. I guess I'm a back seat driver of sorts :D. I've learned I like to hear my voice a certain way in songs, yet I try to be flexible. I do have some nice tools for vocal processing, and can take care of subtle eq and time/pitch correction for mix ready tracks. I really enjoy the camraderie of working with others here, and like to focus on just a few projects at a time. Check out my projects here, and drop me a line if you have a project you think I could help with :)
