The only thing that matters to me is your song, and the way it makes you feel when it's coming out of the speakers. My name is Ben, and I've been working as a musician and audio engineer for more than 15 years. I've spent plenty of time on both sides of the glass, so I know the frustration of being a musician trying to create professional recordings with whatever I can find. My goal in building this studio has always been to help artists create their music the way they want, professionally, and for a price that a working musician can afford. As a producer and engineer, I can help you with your music at every stage of the process, from song idea through finished professional Master record. My standard rates are below, but I always want to prioritize working with an artist, even if the money isn't quite there. Owning my own space means that I can be flexible with my pricing, so I have the freedom to help any artist at any stage of their journey. Your music is already great. You have a sound that is completely you. I'm just here to help you capture it! Standard rates: Mixing: $300 a song, no track limit, any number of revisions Mastering: $100 for a single, $400 for an EP (3-6 songs), $1000 for an LP (7-12 songs) Production: Shoot me an e-mail! We do a lot of production but every record is different in terms of what it needs, so I'm happy to chat about your project!

Industry Experience

Media & Entertainment
    uniE603 Sahara Sors - Better For It
    Start to finish production with my artist Sahara Sors from this last year, 2025. We did a series of 6 singles, and this one was my favorite. It's a very minimal production, but I love the way I was able to capture her voice and the emotion in her writing.
    uniE603 Ben Allen - Come as You Are
    This one is a cover song of the artist David Crowder, and a personal project from 2024 where I did everything. It has a modern pop feel, with a ton of guitars and synths.
    uniE603 Libby Chiaradonna - Helpers
    One of the songs off of the album "Ms. Libby's Music Class" that I did for my friend, Libby Chiaradonna in 2023. She is a musician who teaches music classes to very small children, and she has written a bunch of songs that she wanted to turn into an album. Having never made kids music before, my vision for this particular song was sort of old-school Sesame Street, and I think it feels pretty great.
    uniE603 Bob Tabernik - Cousin George
    One of a few demos I did for a client in 2021 for his writing reel. This was a full production, where my client had a number of songs he wanted fleshed out, and I worked as producer to hire musicians and book studio time. We then did our recording and overdubs, and I mixed and mastered the record for him. It falls somewhere between new and old Country, like a lot of his songs.
    uniE603 Before and After
    This is a side-by-side comparison of a few of the mixes that I have completed within the last year or so. Some are unofficial, meaning that they are not artists I have worked with, but rather tracks that I mixed strictly for demonstrational purposes. That is something I do sometimes, as many of the things I work on with my clients aren't released until months or years later, and often those clients don't love having the un-mixed version out in the world. These projects are: Cousin George (Bob Tabernik) - Recording day mix to final mix It Is Well (Joe Gilder) - rough mix to final mix (unofficial) On the Evening Train (Jeremy Casella) - rough mix to final mix (unofficial) Dancing with the Cosmos (Sahara Sors) - last production mix to final mix Wouldn't Do the Same Thing (Seth Talley) - rough mix to final mix (unofficial)
