Anyone know a good affordable engineer in northern NJ?

[blood5150]

Music is in the style of HUM, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins...

Melodic but with a heavy edge....looking to record a full length cd.


Here is some info for reference...

An engineer is kinda' like a lawyer in the sense that, don't you want the best one you can find? Why on earth would you want to find mediocrity?

Did I missing something? Where did the OP say he wanted mediocrity? I see him asking for a "good affordable engineer" and nowhere did I see him asking for mediocrity.

I don't know where he resides now since Water Front Studios moved to France w/ Lenny Kravitz, but Dave Batelene was great when we used him

Where in North Jersey are you?

James Mastro at the Guitar Bar in Hoboken (and Ian Hunter's guitarist, and all around great guy) has/had a studio maybe he can suggest someone.

Ken Seagall has some great credentials and again, maybe he can give you some leads.

"Our" own Mark Norwine may have some suggestions.

Wow! I feel honored.....

First: Bobmc....I see you're in Boonton! Where? I lived on Wilson St. for 10 years! I was in Boonton just today, getting my hair cut....

Studios: Well, my "preferred go-to guy" is Alan Douches at West-westside, but he isn't in NJ any more. He moved just a but upstate to New Windsor, NY. I haven't done much recording lately, but IMO, he's still "my guy"...

...and even if you don't use Alan for recording, I would strongly suggest he be considered for mastering. IMO, there's no one finer...
