op, folk, jazz, and more. The hybrid analog/digital setup, powered by a modified Toft console and top-tier gear from Neve, API, Manley, and Neumann, ensures pro-quality results across the board. Bringing your vision to life with precision, creativity, and great sound.

🎙️ One of the things I love about running the studio is getting to share this space with the next generation of musicians and creators.

It’s always inspiring to see young people so curious about recording and the whole process behind making music — their energy brings a whole new vibe into the room.

Big shout-out to Ripple Hub for the incredible work they do with these kids. It’s an honor to play a small part in their journey.

🎧 My Dynaudio LYD48s have been with me since they were first released — still love the clarity and detail they deliver for mixing and mastering.

And yes… that’s a miniature Randy Rhoads Flying V sitting on top. All hail the legend! ⚡️

🎸 A few of the guitars that see daily action around here — early ’90s Fender American Strat, a newer Charvel loaded with Seymour Duncans, a pair of Gibson SGs, and an Ibanez RG Anniversary for full whammy bar exploitation.

If you haven’t guessed, I’m a guitar player myself and have been on stages most of my life. With this lineup, I can dial in just about any tone a session needs.

🌅 Missing these late September sunsets, but the wood stove’s prepped and ready for winter. Any season’s a good season to make music — and I’ll never get tired of the beauty here in Berks County.

🎛 A little love for the outboard rack — Drawmer 1978 and a trio of DL241 compressors, all modded by , plus a DBX 166 that’s been given the same treatment.

There’s just nothing like running drums through this chain — the punch, warmth, and control you get from real analog gear never gets old.

🎥 Behind every video is a setup most people never see — lights, gobos, stands, cables, and more. It’s not always glamorous, but getting the shot (and sound) right takes planning and patience. This one was for a recent reel, shot in front of the kit.

🎶 There’s nothing like live music. I’ve been getting out to see bands just about every week lately — and it’s been awesome catching so many local acts doing their thing.

This weekend was a special one — VINYL RUSH performing at The Goodies . Seeing a band I’ve recorded bring those same songs to life on stage never gets old. The energy, the crowd, the connection — it’s why I love what I do. ⚡️

Radial Engineering Ltd. D2 + JCR = the dynamic duo. 🎸 Split guitar and bass at the source, then reamp later into whatever amp/cab combo the mix calls for. More options, more layers, more fun.
