What We Do

Tracking & Recording

Live drums, acoustic instruments, electric guitar/bass amps, and vocal tracking through analog preamps and classic dynamic, condenser, and ribbon mics.

Songwriting & Additional Production

Songwriting guidance & assistance, full instrumentation arrangements, rhythm track programming, and session instrumentation to build out voice memos or bare-bones acoustic tracks.

Mixing & Post-Production

Clean, balanced, radio-ready mixes dialed in with hybrid analog and digital workflows.

Curtis Taylor — Producer & Engineer
The Producer

Get to Know Your Producer & Engineer

I've spent more than 20 years making music as a musician, producer, and audio engineer, working both onstage and in the studio. That experience has taught me that great production is about more than getting a technically perfect recording. It's about understanding the song, recognizing what makes an artist unique, and knowing how to turn an idea into something that connects with people.

At Songwriting House, I bring all of that experience together to help artists develop their songs, make confident creative decisions, and create music they're genuinely proud to release.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does one session take?

It depends on the style and arrangement. A solo acoustic track or vocal session usually takes 2–4 hours. A full band arrangement typically takes a full day session to track. The more prepared you are when you walk in, the faster we move.

Can I use the studio's instruments and amps?

Yes. Full access to our guitars, basses, amps, pedals, and Yamaha drum kit is included with your session at no extra charge. You're also welcome to bring your own gear.

What if I don't have a full band or need help laying down a track?

You don’t need to hire outside session players. As a producer and multi-instrumentalist, I regularly jump in on guitar, bass, keys, and drums to flesh out arrangements and build full productions around your ideas at no extra cost.
