On Deck Sound Studio

On Deck Sound Studio New England's premier recording studio nestled in the rolling hills of Northwest Connecticut. Let's capture your authentic sound. I am a full time musician.

I believe recording is about having great gear, feeling comfortable in a great space, and playing great takes. Our control room is a comfortable 12 x 16 room, that opens to our main 16 x 22 live room. Both rooms have 12 foot ceilings so they have a great vibe. The control also opens to a 30x20 space.. The studio is surrounded by woods so there are no distractions, other than the occasional bear a

nd bobcat. We are a Pro Tools based studio. We run the Apollo UA system, through a Neve 5060 console. We have a pair of 8050 Genelec monitors that gives you a great stereo image of what is happening. We have a bunch of great mics, including a Telefunken U47, an AEA R44, a Neumann U87, a Royer R121 ribbon, Telefunken Copperhead, A pair of Telefunken M60's, Telefunken ELA 260, 2 Sure KSM32's, AKG 414, C3000, D112, C1000, 2-MD421's among others.

Over the years producing I’ve noticed something about truly great musicians:
They ask questions, they stay teachable, and they are comfortable saying “I don’t know.”

Meanwhile, insecurity makes some artists act like not knowing or not being good at something is weakness, and their ego forces them to act as if they know everything.
But the moment you think you’ve mastered everything is usually the moment you stop growing.
are truly exceptional and it makes total sense when you think about it. To be at their level and still hungry to learn says all you need to know about how they became exceptional.

I am humbled and honored to have the opportunity to make music with them. One of the things I love most about music is that I am constantly learning and there is always room to get better.

Spent the week working on the Laurie MacAllister album! This one is really going to be a great one.

I just spent 14 days straight with London Ontario based trio producing our second album together.

I am exhausted but my cup is definitely full. It is such a pleasure to sink into a record from start to finish in one sitting. We shared laughs, meals, tears, movies… We still cut all the vocals live off the floor as we did with Together on a Rock, but we also added some fun ear candy to open up the production.

They will leave this process with a 10 song album, a cover single, 12 reels, 1 full length video, and hopefully a documentary. Lately I keep hearing artists complain about making content, but if you are making art you believe in and videos that are fun, it shouldn’t feel like a chore. Take the time to relax and enjoy the process. It is in fact a gift that we get to play.

Grateful that so many artists trust me to hop in their sandbox and share in making their art. Grateful to the Pairs for being so amazing.
