JOEY STARKEY SOUND

Hi, I'm Joey.

I'm a full-stack producer from Minneapolis with 15 years of experience.

ABOUT ME

No one cared about my music as much as me — especially the traditional studios. That’s why I started producing. I care more. I'm passionate about the way a snare sounds, I obsess over the detail in a vocal reverb, I listen for the details in what makes a strong melody. Simply, I love music. In my spare time you might catch me lusting after camera gear, debating the merits of a local restaurants with my wife, or writing movie reviews.



I CARE MORE



PHILOSOPHY

Recorded music should be the best version of itself. Period. Whether it takes as many vocal tracks as Queen, recording you on the beach, or adding in sub-drops (or even explosions) we’ll do what’s right for the song. If you want polish and that professional ‘produced' sound, then I’m your guy.



BIG SOUND

SAMPLES

PRICING

 You don’t need a big studio to sound good — just a good song and someone who knows how to produce it. By mixing in-the-box I’m able to pass on these huge savings to you and offer extremely competitive pricing. But we can chat details for your project before getting started.



HUGE SAVINGS




SO HOW DOES THIS WORK?

RECORDING

We’ll record your parts in a relaxed environment until we have it sounding just right. Need help coming up with parts? I do that too!

$25 / hour

EDITING

Your music should be the best representation of itself. You’ll be tuned, tweaked, and tightened to get your track ready for mixing.

$200 / song


MIXING

Big music is the name of the game and you’re gonna be a star, kid. Influences include John Feldmann and Joey Sturgis.

$300 / song

MASTERING

I mix right into a master chain so we’re always ready. 

Some compression for glue, eq enhancement, spatial widening, a harmonic exciter, and a volume maximizer matched to pink-noise. Catch that?

$40 / song

DELIVERY

After reviewing the proofs, I’ll deliver your uncompressed master for maximum quality.

Need more changes? No problem! I offer additional revisions for a small fee. Plus a few extra bonuses to make you smile.
