Collaboration

Music
from idea
to sound.

Drum recording, music production, mixing and mastering, and session work, in the studio, remotely and on stage.

What I do

From a single part
to a finished song.

Every project needs a different approach. We can work on one element of a production, build a whole song or meet on stage, depending on what your music needs. I work with fast turnarounds, and pricing is individual for each project.

01Drum recording

Drums that
serve the song.

I offer professional drum recording for your songs, either remotely or in a session at C2 Studio in Poznań.

I have a professional studio setup, a large choice of microphones, a great-sounding live room and a wide selection of drum kits, snares, cymbals and percussion.

With years of stage and studio experience I can create drum parts that fit the character of the song and the sound you want, in practically any style. Every recording is made with care for musicality, sound and top-quality tracks, ready for further production.

For the concert.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to come to Poznań for you to record drums on my song?

No. If your song is ready we can work remotely: you send a demo and references, we agree on the character of the recording, and I record the part at C2 Studio and deliver the tracks for further production.

What should I prepare before a drum recording?

The most useful things are the current version of the song or a demo, the tempo, information about the structure, examples of sounds you like and notes on the arrangement. Not everything has to be decided up front; we can make some decisions together.

Do I need a finished idea for the drum part?

You don't need a vision for every hit. We can decide together which groove, dynamics and character will work best in the song.

What's the difference between mixing and mastering?

Mixing combines the individual tracks into a coherent whole: balance, panning, dynamics and the sound of each instrument. Mastering is the final preparation of the finished mix: tonal control, dynamics, level and preparing the file for release.

How should I prepare tracks for mixing?

Export the tracks at full quality with a common start point, name the files clearly, include the current version of the song and describe the result you want. Also mention any effects that are part of the intended sound.

How long does it take and how much does it cost?

I work with fast turnarounds. Pricing is individual because it depends on the scope of the work, so write and tell me what you need.

Will you play concerts or tours outside Poznań?

Yes. I'll travel to the venue, prepare the material and play the concert, tour or one-off show.

Got a project?

Let's make it
something good.
