Who is Horned Owl Records?My name is Rusty Workman. I am a singer, songwriter, home recording artist, and self-taught (mostly) freelance mixing engineer. I understand how much effort it takes and how much of yourself goes into creating original music, and getting it recorded. With all you put into it, you want the final product you share with others sounding as good as it possibly can. |
It used to be that the only way to get anything sounding like a commercial product--sounding "like a record"-- was to go to an expensive recording studio, then send the recordings to a professional mixing house (and then on to mastering). If you're just starting out, or you're a home enthusiast, you probably don't have that kind of budget. The good news is, with modern computer technology, you can get very polished pro-sounding results without breaking the bank on studio time and analog engineering houses.
I know. I've done it. |
I released my debut album Memories and Dreams in 2015. It was recorded entirely in a spare bedroom in my house, and I did all of the editing, mixing, and mastering myself. You can check out a sample of the results I was able to achieve by clicking on the audio file below (for the best representation of the sound, use headphones or external stereo speakers).
I want to help you get the best sound you can. Whether it's a demo, a starter album, or just a vanity project like mine was, let me put what I've learned to work for you to help bring your vision to life. I will work with you to get your tracks cleaned up, processed so they work together and every part of every instrument does its job, and arranged so that in the end you have a finished product you can be proud to share. In the end, it's all about the sound. |
