Yes yes yes yes yes. Perfect.

"Yes yes yes yes yes. Perfect. Can I just say for a minute how weird and wonderful it is to have someone who can put into music what I paint in words? I usually know what I mean, and more and more I know what I want, but I don't always know how to make it happen. I feel very grateful to be working with you ... again."

I bring in my fairly simple songs

“I’m very much an amateur, a guy with a full time job who just happens to love making music in the folk singer/songwriter vein. I bring in my fairly simple songs, mediocre guitar work and a voice that is, well, er, sometimes challenged. Kenny has been a great mentor for me, coaching me in his easy, friendly way with professional-level tips and techniques for guitar, voice, recording and more.”

professionalism and creativity to bring any project to another level

“It was my first recording and I wanted to work with someone who not only had skill and talent, but also the sensitivity to both understand what I wanted and offer a perspective I didn’t know I wanted. As a multi instrumentalist, programming wiz and seasoned engineer Kenny provided all that. I also deeply appreciate his sincere love of music coupled with the professionalism and creativity to bring any project to another level.”

gentle, kind, helpful and supportive and a ton of creativity

“Kenny is so awesome to work with! He's gentle, kind, helpful and supportive. He's a great musician, singer, and producer and has a ton of creativity and interesting ideas… He gets what I mean even if I can't clearly articulate it - we speak the same language. I think of him as my John, Paul, George, Ringo AND George Martin all rolled into one person! He's really that talented.”

Kenny is exactly what I needed

“Kenny is exactly what I needed. Kenny has a startling ability to reach into a simple demo and draw out what the song was always doing, but had not yet come to be.”

Dude that is soooo epic

"BRO Dude that is soooo epic … that’s exactly how I wanted ‘Baby’ to be. I’m astounded … Sax, drum part, bass, mix. Kenny thanks again so much! I’m still so stoked on the final product we came up with. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future."

vague direction and absolutely nailed the sound

“Kenny took every very vague direction from me and absolutely nailed the sound. Kenny's talent as a producer and as a musician brought my songs to life in a way I couldn't have imagined. His ability to produce music across genres and styles helped me make a record that was more sonically complex than I ever thought I could make. He's efficient and accommodating and it was easy and fun to collaborate with him remotely from California. Getting a new bounce from him felt like Christmas morning.”

a lifesaver in getting my project completed

“Kenny has been a lifesaver in getting my project completed in a way that exceeded all my expectations from the partnership to the pro results. I found him to be intuitive and quickly gained an understanding of what I was looking for on all aspects of my project. This set ran the gamut from nearly completed songs that just needed a proper engineer to record and get the right performance all the way through producing and collaborating.”

vision to work with me on my ideas on my songs

“Basement3 Productions is a one stop shop for arranging, instrumentation, backup vocals, recording, mixing, and distribution assistance. They provided guidance all along the way not to mention Kenny’s master skills on so many instruments. In addition, Kenny had the patience and vision to work with me on my ideas on my songs which touched many genres. I never would have envisioned working with such a great partner on my first album!”

STUDIO RECORDING

We use a variety of studios to capture performances. We have studios in Nashville TN & San Jose, San Francisco, Soquel CA, which we can use for your convenience. Contact Kenny

 

MOBILE RECORDING

Kenny can also travel to any location and bring his mobile recording rig to record you at your home, your church, a rehearsal space or a room you just like to play in. So long as it is acoustically sound and relatively free from outside noise, any space can be made into a recording space with know how – for your complete comfort and convenience. Contact Kenny

 

CONSULTING

Getting the Best Recording – Setting up Mics etc – Helping to create a Studio Space – Protools Lessons – General Recording Advice
If you want to record yourself or create your own studio space to record, Kenny can go to your location and give you advice on how to get the best quality & performance. He can talk to you about room acoustics, help you set up the space, help you buy the right gear, help you figure out the best microphone placement, and how to achieve the best performance. Contact Kenny

JUST MIXING

Already have tracks? Kenny is known for his killer mixes. Mixing is done in the B3P studio. You can record your band yourself if you have the means and send the files remotely to Kenny to mix. It means your band can be located anywhere in the world and be mixed by Kenny Schick.

MASTERING

Kenny also does mastering. Mastering is the final step in producing a song or album. Mastering raises the overall level/volume of songs to compete in the commercial market along side other music so it doesn’t disappear next to songs that have been mastered to current standards. Mastering addresses any overall adjustments that may be needed with EQ and compression etc. In the case of an album, mastering also makes sure the songs sound uniform in volume and tonality. A mastered song is then ready for radio, video or film/tv placement.

GRAPHIC DESIGN & PHOTOGRAPHY

Basement3Productions also provides graphic design & photography to help you produce a fully complete artist’s package and merchandise for your independent musical career. I can also help you with your distribution, file uploading etc.
