ABOUT

In production, it’s all about giving every idea the sound it truly deserves. That’s where I come in. From the initial spark to a final mix and master, fully polished and ready for all streaming platforms.

I started my journey as a guitarist in heavier genres, which eventually led me to studio work in Ostrava, Czechia. Today, I primarily focus on modern sounds, specializing in house and pop, while staying true to my roots in rock, punk, and beyond.

I believe every recording tells a unique story. My mission is to make sure that story sounds clear and professional, whether we're tracking your first demo or perfecting a final mix for a major release.

FAQ

How much do your services cost? +

Pricing is always individual, depending on the complexity and scope of the project (track count, recording quality, etc.). I strive to keep rates budget-friendly for indie bands and emerging artists to ensure great projects get the sound they deserve. Send me the details of your track, and we'll find a way that works for both of us.

Where is your studio located? +

My studio is located in Ostrava, Czech Republic. If you prefer a personal approach, we can record right here. If you're based elsewhere, no problem. I handle a large portion of my projects remotely via online mixing and mastering.

Do you record simple demos? +

Definitely yes. I offer demo recording at highly discounted rates. Whether you need a scratch track for later production or a quick professional demo for promoters, we’ll create a quality recording that won't break the bank.

How should I prepare my tracks for mixing? +

Please send your tracks as uncompressed WAV files (44.1 kHz / 24-bit or higher). All tracks should be "consolidated" (starting at the same time) and delivered without effects (EQ, compression) unless they are an essential part of your specific sound.

What is the turnaround time? +

Typically, I deliver the first mix draft within 5–7 business days of receiving the files. Mastering services are usually completed within 72 hours.

How many revisions are included? +

I want you to be 100% satisfied with the result, so I don't have a strictly fixed revision limit. However, the feedback should be clear and constructive. Major structural changes are handled individually based on the project's needs.

Do you offer vocal tuning and editing? +

Yes, editing, tuning (Melodyne/Autotune), and track cleaning are included in the full mixing package unless agreed otherwise.

Can I bring my own instruments and gear? +

Absolutely yes. While the studio is equipped with high-end gear, your unique sound is irreplaceable. Feel free to bring your guitars, pedals, or your entire amp rig. If you have a specific tone, we’ll do everything to capture it in the best possible quality.
