Aaron Mason - Recording Sample Reel
Recording
I’m a musician first and foremost. Performance is everything to me, and without a great one we may as well pack it in. I do whatever it takes to facilitate a genuine and passionate performance. That means for bands, I always recommend that they play together in the same room, making sure they feel “at home” in any given space. My job is not to change an artist while they’re in the studio, but to help them unleash their most inspired performance and aid them toward a memorable experience.
There are no rules when making music. When they are forced upon me, I usually want to break them. It’s not worth it unless I’m at least a “little scared” about what we’re doing. Yes, you could call me an Audio Engineer, but you have no choice but to call me a musician because I simply love making music with people.

Mentoring
As a mentor I share my insight gained from years of experience as a musician, touring in a band throughout Europe and the US, and recording/mixing in the DC Metro area studios.
Whether you are an individual just starting out, an established band, to everything in between, mentoring can be that non-judgmental asset.
