My Studio Equipment

I have my own setup at home with a studio-quality microphone and sound-proofing. I can record, edit, normalize and perfect recordings equivalent to studio-quality and email them to you as MP3's. I can also provide revision reads with your direction if you like, via the telephone.

Being in LA, I can also go to a bigger recording facility and can provide music libraries and fully produced spots with ISDN or Phone Patch, but that tacks on a charge of an extra $150. I'd just need the heads up to set up a studio appointment.
