MY PROCESS

I’m Charles Barton. I’ve been playing instruments most of my life and I love recording and producing. I’ll record synths, guitar, violin, clarinet, flute — whatever a record needs. I started collecting synthesizers about 20 years ago and it’s been one of my favorite sounds to bring to a song. I combine raw recording with digital instruments, sampling, field recordings, and a whole suite of audio plugins to make a record.

I do not use AI generated recordings. My passion is producing the sounds myself. I record, sample, sequence, and use both analog and digital instruments to dial in the feel of the song. I’ll work with you on each song and iterate on the arrangement and mix until it’s right. For me, it’s about the process and doing what the song needs, not just selling artists some stems.

And I know it’s not usually enough to just have a good song, so I offer my skills in video production and software too.

If you want, I can help build the experience around the record. I can help generate visuals, music videos, games, or other digital experiences to help your vision come to life. Fans love a musical experience they can engage with. I would love to build something together and help bring your songs to life.

LET’S WORK TOGETHER

License an instrumental

You can treat these as a starting point or a finished beat. Pricing is decided based on a combination of up front cost and royalties. I’ll deliver a master and stems and license includes up to 5 iterations on the beat. I can also provide mixing and mastering for an additional flat fee.

Custom project

Custom instrumental — be as involved in the creative process as you want.

I can also help create a creative vision for delivery: music video, game, comic, website, or any other digital experience — whatever you need to create excitement around your project.

Propose a project and a budget and we’ll go from there.
