Recording & Mixing Engineer · Orange County, CA

Your sound.
Your record.

For artists who want their record to sound like them. Full sessions, start to finish, built around the song you hear in your head.

Full sessions, start to finish. A few records I tracked and mixed from the first take to the final bounce.

What my clients say.

"

He's got real taste and style, but he never puts it ahead of what the artist is going for. The record still sounds like us.

ZaneHKFY
"

Showed up prepared and knew exactly what he was doing. Technical when it mattered, out of the way when it didn't.

"

Tracking vocals with Frank was seamless. I felt comfortable enough to actually go for the takes I wanted.

ZachStrut
"

He captured the sounds and tones we were hearing in our heads and got them onto the record.

About

"You come in, tell me what you're going for, and we go get it."

Every session is built around the artist in the room. No house sound stamped on top of your songs, no template. We start from what you hear and chase it until the record sounds like you.

Live room
Studio setup

Built in 2006 and tuned for acoustic accuracy, with gear curated for one job: getting a great sound to tape.

The room is the first instrument. MAPS was designed from the ground up for recording quality, which means fewer fixes in the mix and more of the performance making it onto the record. You hear the take, not the room fighting it.
