I've been playing guitar and I singing for many years but I've never recorded. I met Adam a few years ago at a local open mic night where I occasionally play. I got to know Adam quite well and finally decided to do some recording at Bootleg. Since it was my first time I had many questions about the process and decisions to make about what songs to record, etc... He was so patient and skillful in walking me through the entire process. I was blown away by how much he knows and how seamless and fun the experience was. He's the real deal and such a pro! With over 25 years of combined music education and work experience in the recording field, Adam has all the attributes of an outstanding sound engineer; strong technical skills (knowledge of gear, software, acoustics, and editing) with essential soft skills, including creative vision, excellent communication, attention to detail, and adaptability. If you've been thinking at all about recording your music, I highly recommend you contact Adam at Bootleg Recording. Trust me, you'll have a great time and come away with a quality product! read more

I just finished spending the past 12 months recording a double album with Adam at Bootleg Recording, and he helped bring my songs to life. His experience and knowledge about recording techniques, his ability to play guitar and bass parts, and his network of expert musicians (drums, saxophone, slide guitar, etc) all contributed to making my songs shine. He also delivered excellent song mixes that were carefully set up to specifications for a separate mastering engineer. I am very happy with the finished product, and highly recommend Bootleg Recording for anyone looking to turn their songwriting into "product". I was not acquainted with Adam before this project. I'm a singer/songwriter who carefully researched where I wanted to do my recording, and who would have sought out someone else if I wasn't 100% satisfied during every step of the recording and mixing process. read more

I'm currently working on my third album recorded at Bootleg Recording, and the reason I keep coming back is Adam. He is that rare combination of gifted producer and mixer, unflappable collaborator, adaptable recording engineer, and professional bassist and guitarist. He is always friendly, makes creative recommendations that suit each song, and can lay down bass and electric and/or acoustic guitar tracks. And, importantly, he understands my quirks and preferences. I can't imagine a better partner for realizing your song vision, whether it's just a single song or a full album. And the price is extremely fair as well. This is an easy five-star rating. read more

Adam came highly recommended by my guitar instructor. I am new to writing, singing and recording and Adam answered all of my questions; I had many! Adam creates a comfortable and collaborative environment, which made the entire process very enjoyable. He explains the recording process in a way that is easy to understand and employ. My sessions were collaborative, yet he let my creativity always be the driving force, which I think is a gift that not many people have. Also, Adam is very conscientious about time; so every client gets the most out of each session. I have already booked my next sessions! I highly recommend Adam and Bootleg Recording!! read more
