Service Description

Is your sound broadcast ready? Is your setup going to fly for booked sessions- or even auditions? This evaluation will help improve your sound if needed. Often times small adjustments make big improvements! Once you've paid via checout, a confirmation with a Zoom link will be sent to you. We'll work together for 15 minutes on Zoom to evaluate your setup, and make adjustments as needed to improve your sound. Prior to our meeting, I need the following from you (email me at frank.verderosa@gmail.com): - A list of your gear (mic, interface, computer, software). - Photos of your recording space (sometimes I can spot obvious issues just by looking at your setup). - A recorded sample that leaves some space at the top so I can hear just room tone and background noise, followed by you reading some softer and then louder passages so we can hear how the room or booth reacts. This should be free of any processing (no EQ, compression, noise removal) for an honest representation of your space. The things I'm checking for are mic placement, booth acoustics, mic quality, level settings and other details that can affect your sound. Often times, simple adjustments can dramatically improve your quality! If more dramatic adjustments such as acoustic treatment or equipment consulting is needed, we'll have to schedule a second session under Help or Booth Consult to continue. Generally, people are able to resolve glaring issues quickly during our evaluation. 15 minutes goes quickly- so please be prepared and ready to go! It's tempting to bring a list of additional questions, but we may not have time. If you feel you need a longer session for additional information, it's better to book at 30 minute general help session (see separate appointment window for that). Important: You are paying for my time as much as my expertise. If you are late, or miss your appointment, there are no refunds. I am happy to reschedule if you let me know 48 hours in advance. All times are Eastern. Please double check the time on the Zoom link when it is sent to make sure it's what you intended.  Appointments are always in the evening because I work full time at a studio in NYC. Thanks for understanding.
