UP IN THE NITE MUSIC's Info

Comfortable Home Studio Environment with excellent quality. We work mainly with Artist / Songwriters / Pre-Production .. development situations where budgets are tight but a quality product is needed. We put a lot of work into our projects and never let anything go out the door that we will not be proud of. We work mainly with Rock / Pop, Alt / Folk / Indie / Rock-country , etc ...
We can do simple basic demos to full production.
I prefer to Master out of House as I believe that last set of ears is an asset to the project. However, If budget does not allow, I will Master in House.
Our Rates vary depending on the project as we do block deals. Our hourly rate is very reasonable and geared for the songwriter / musicians who need a little help . We try support the arts as much as possible.
We do on occasion consider spec time and development deals for Full Time Artist / Musician /Bands.
