About Us
We are musicians, songwriters, producers and engineers. For years we've been helping recording musicians create the sounds they've been looking for. Based in New York City, we pride ourselves on providing excellent products with outstanding personal service. We created our company to bridge the gap between the majority of musicians and quality, affordable production services.
Talent
You already know that recording a good track takes more than just playing accurately. Your playing must speak to the listener, conveying the emotion behind the music. The same is true of creating a good mix. A mix that stands out takes more than just moving faders. It takes talent. Our engineers are creative, expressive and musical, and will work with you one-on-one to accomplish your goals.
Daniel J. Hodd, President | Production and Engineering
Dan grew up studying classical piano, voice and percussion, but tended to spend much of his time writing and recording piano rock songs and jingles. This propensity led him to a career as an audio engineer and producer. He works with bands and songwriters in New York City to improve their product, and freelances as a mix engineer at WFUV, 90.7 FM, New York.

"I spent years getting frustrated at myself for being unable to record my music the way I would hear it in my head, but also unable to afford enough studio time. I had the creativity, but lacked the technical know-how and experience. That's why we started this company... now that we have the ability, we want to provide that access to working musicians."
Robert DelGaudio, Creative Director | Songwriting and Production
A percussionist, bass player and music educator, Rob is also an active songwriter and composer.. He teaches songwriting and musicianship at a private institution in New York, but still manages to perform live with 2 bands and various orchestras. With strong roots under the influence of master songwriters such as Brian Wilson, Bert Bacharach and Billy Joel, Rob is sensitive to melodies, harmonies, and true musicality. This perspective on lyrics and melody helps create amazing products. Manhattan School of Music, Hofstra University.
