The original Bluestripe 1176 truly does sound beautiful on just about anything, and is an integral component of our bass tone here at The Retro Lab. #bluestripe1176 #universalaudio1176 #universalaudio (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuEtAFQBLZG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ckc520fs4bp5

Dear Nick, How much would you charge to record and produce a song. How much would 4 songs cost. Thanks a lot. -Dustin

Hi Dustin!  My sincere apologies for the delay in getting back to you!  It appears as though I was not receiving notifications of inquiries coming in via the site, so I am just now seeing this!  DOH!  Anyhow,  the rates are on a per-project basis.  I like to discuss with clients what their overall budget is, what their time frame is, and what exactly they are looking to get out of the recording project.  It can vary depending on instrumentation, time crunches, etc.  Perhaps fill me in a bit more on what style of music you do, what you are looking for instrumentation wise, your budget for the entire project, etc.  Thanks!  ~N
