Great Studio

The depth and variety of projects I undertake require not only great flexibility from an engineer, but countless other skills and resources available from WhaleSound Studios. The green screen for video projects, the professional lighting, the ability to change schedules according to what is needed. The music aspect is wonderful as well, at a moments notice any musician can be called for various projects, from lead guitar to low brass. Richard's ability to fill voids for percussion, keyboards and orchestration are so adept that I would be hard pressed to find another studio that can take a simple project and produce it to the point of national quality. My experiences with engineers in New England have always been positive, but the combination of skills and resources available from WhaleSound Studios is beyond exceptional.
