We offer flat-rate recording packages to allow for the kind of creative experience your songs deserve.
More time in the recording studio at a more relaxed pace
Having a flat rate for projects not only gives you time to chase a new idea when it comes, it gives us time to sweat the details and make sure we’re capturing your sound in a way that serves your songs, even if it takes a little bit longer.
Production assistance to help achieve your vision, not just access to microphones and a quiet room
Recording isn’t a passive process. Every microphone choice and placement affects the sound of your record and influences subsequent decisions. Because of that, it’s incredibly important to have a recording engineer who understands the sound you’re going for and who can capture your intent.
Included mixing and mastering
Having your recording engineer mix your record is the best way to make sure your record ends up sounding the way you hear it in your head, and having your record mastered gets it ready for distribution to streaming services and physical copies. At Mixed Metaphor, engineering, mixing, and mastering are all included in the standard rate.
“I cannot recommend Mixed Metaphor Records highly enough. Nate is incredibly knowledgeable, talented, and down to earth. It’s hard to find recording studios that have great acoustic sound–this is the spot.”
— Jake Saunders, 208 Ensemble
“Nate is very professional and easy to work with - he combines a great sense of approachable humanity with his highly adept technical skills. Relaxed atmosphere, attentive engineering and skilled musicianship.”
— Samuel Robertson, The Woodlands
