Recording and Production

Studio Services that help Develop the Artist

Our producer/engineer Justin Leighton Long worked under Atlantic Records and has helped many bands get signed to major labels. But if you haven’t been to a studio before, you’ll love recording at Performance High.

Artist Development in the Studio

If you haven’t recorded before, any studio will welcome you. But most will just start the clock and let it run while you direct the session, whether or not your song is finished and your vision is clear.

Since our engineer Justin is also our artist development coach, he will make sure you you’re happy with your brand and goals before hitting record. And, if you want, he’ll suggest ways to make your song hit harder through arrangement, lyrics, and instrumentation. You can even bring an unfinished song in, and Justin will help you finish it before recording.

Basically, he’ll make sure that when you have the final product, it’s not only an accurate recording, but also the best song it can be.

Artist Education in the Studio

If you’re new to the studio, we recommend that you read The 5 Steps to Recording a Song to understand the process, but Justin is also happy to educate you. He’ll give you choices that can save time, money, or headaches. He’ll describe the pros and cons of different approaches. And he’ll even suggest other studios if they’re a better fit for your project.

Our goal isn’t to get you to spend as much as you can, it’s to empower you to record as much music as you want.

Production, Engineering, and Mixing

A producer helps you make choices to make your song the best it can be through arrangement, lyrics, and instrumentation. This is best done before recording starts.

A recording engineer accurately and cleanly records the sounds you make.

A mixing engineer mixes the recorded tracks together, making choices about levels, EQ, effects like delay and reverb, compression, and more.

At Performance High, you get all these skills in the same person, which can save time and money.

But you can hire Justin for whichever role or roles you want – just producer, just recording engineer, just mixing engineer – or all three.

Whether you want to record a single, or produce and record a fully-instrumented album, you’ll love working with Justin.
