Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: We specialize in producing professional quality audio and sound design for individuals who are either unable to afford the massive, impersonal, overpriced big city Studios, while at the same time catering to those individuals who simply do not wish to be charged an unnecessarily high rate to cover the excessive cost of the fancy recording facility along with the costs associated with the audio production work. Understandably, these large, oversized recording facilities can be quite expensive, but more significantly (in our humble opinion at least) is the lack of interpersonal communication and sincere interaction with the engineer/mixer working on your uniquely individualized creatively developed work of art. Sadly, environments such as those are not exactly what most people would consider 'welcoming' nor do they possess the capability to put as much effort and passion into your project as you did creating it. So here's the bottom line… Everything you wish those high-priced, expansive, cold & impersonal recording studios would (and should) offer but simply do not provide… Well, that's exactly what we do. As a matter fact, it's what we specialize in because it is precisely what we are committed to consistently delivering for our artists & each member of our creative clientele. We want to develop a relationship with our artists and get to know them personally because at the end of the day, the overall result is naturally going to allow for: [1] a more relaxed/comfortable recording environment, [2] an increased level of open communication which helps us gain a better understanding of your desired outcome for each project, and most importantly [3] a finished product with even greater quality that accurately reflects what each artist is envisioning and hoping to achieve. Call me crazy, but I don't believe it's a revolutionary concept or a novel idea for an audio technician to treat their artists/musicians/vocalists as actual individuals – living, breathing, intellectually creative, artistic human beings (as opposed to just another client on a calendar sheet or merely a time slot located on a 'scheduled session log' book). But maybe that's just me. The passion and love you have for music and the art of creative expression, we share it as well, and we value each artists' ideas, feedback, input & opinions in order to better assist us in appropriately breathing life into an artistic idea or vision. Yes, we have all of the expensive equipment, intricate overly-complicated software, and the same studio amenities as those larger recording facilities, the ones that know you as nothing more than a booked time slot rather than a person & an individual artist. That being the case, in addition to being actively involved in music production, sound design and audio creation for over 17 years, you will receive the exact same level of overall precision quality & production value that you would receive elsewhere after paying double the cost – truthfully, we just don't believe you should be overcharged simply in order to contribute your hard earned money to help cover our business expenses, assist in lease payments for an unnecessarily large facility or cover the cost of our studio equipment (items & software that we already own). Our philosophy is simple: deliver professional grade industry-quality sound creations and audio productions without forcing our clients to unnecessarily and unfairly pay for our studio expenses or the amenities utilized within it. We focus on 2 primary aspects: the individual artist, and consistently delivering top-notch audio quality productions. So if the larger more nameless/faceless recording facilities are a little too overwhelming and slightly more intimidating than you would prefer, allow me to welcome you to XLNC Audio – a genuine artist focused audio development company that happily and proudly offers a relaxed, welcoming, comfortable environment where the primary focus for every audio recording session is the artist/vocalist. I thoroughly enjoy seeing the look on each artist's face the very first time they hear the completed final version of their project. There's no greater feeling than that glowing smile that inevitably emerges once you have successfully turned someone else's creative idea or personal artistic vision into a reality. Especially when that individual shares the same passion and love for music as you, because in all honesty, there simply is no greater feeling. That is what we work for... That is our motivation.

If you have ever had an audio or sound-related project that you wanted (or in my case, desperately needed) to complete, I don't have to tell you how difficult it can be to find the right individual, location or Company that can provide high-quality service, exceptional results and do it without completely emptying your bank account. Of course, the two most important factors to consider are cost and the overall production value–everyone always wants to get your money's worth. Understandably, most people think that you have to go to the biggest, most glamorous, top-of-line most professional looking recording studio in order to get superior audio/sound production quality (admittedly, for the longest time I was one of those individuals as well). However, regarding my most recent project, I was faced with two major issues: a limited budget and a fast approaching deadline (a personalized Christmas gift). After a few emails and personally speaking with Brad on the phone, he not only answered all of my many many questions in a very honest and straightforward manner, but he also addressed a number of concerns I had prior to our conversation without me even mentioning them. That in itself spoke volumes and was uniquely reassuring for me. So ultimately I decided that this was a good fit for me and my particular project, and I decided to go with XLNC Audio and give Brad a chance solely based on our discussion -- specifically the level of comfort and overall confidence I had after speaking with him. Honestly, I went with my gut instinct on this one, and I'm so thankful for it. After working with Brad and going through the process of completing the project, I can legitimately say without the slightest hesitation that I do not have a single ounce of regret in electing to go with XLNC Audio. Not only was Brad able to effectively make due on everything he promised in terms of overall sound quality and production value, but I received the final version both within my requested timeframe *and* under my initially stated budget -- I was not expecting that! Truly, I could not possibly be more satisfied with how everything turned out. It was perfect; exactly what I was hoping for. Not only was I blown away by the overall quality which far exceeded my most optimistic expectations, but after working Brad and getting to know him personally, I was extremely impressed with how personable, attentive and truly genuine he is as an individual–plus, it was quite evident that his passion for music is 100% authentic and greatly enjoys what he does (not to mention the fact that he's particularly good at it as well). Even more impressive than his expertise and passionate enthusiasm was how he honestly made me feel as if my little individual project was his absolute top priority, and even though I am well aware that he was also assisting a number of other artists/musicians/vocalists with projects far more interesting than mine, I never once questioned whether or not he took my project equally serious as I did. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate that, and because he is a very natural 'people person' with a warm and welcoming personality, I found it surprisingly easy to work with him which ultimately made the entire experience far less stressful than I had anticipated. Like I said before, finding the right recording studio with a quality audio engineer/mixer/ producer/etc. can be an unbelievably arduous task and frustrating endeavor, but I got lucky in this case because I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend or directly refer someone to Brad (XLNC Audio) regardless of how large or small their sound project might be. I've already recommended him to one close friend of mine and will definitely continue to do so in the future. I look forward to working with him again in the near future. Very satisfied with everything -- from start to finish and throughout the entire process -- I am very happy with the results and look forward to working with him again in the near future. With that being said, I strongly suggest you at least consider giving XLNC Audio a try because I can confidently guarantee that you will not be disappointed. ***Brad*** I just want to say 'Thank You' very much; you really did a fantastic job! As you may know, Valentine's Day is right around the corner and I'm already working on another gift idea -- so yes, I will be getting in touch with you very soon. Seriously, it was great meeting you and I absolutely look forward to our next project! Teresa M.

D. Camp I'll be the first to admit that I'm not necessarily the greatest singer or musician in the world, but I do have a love and a passion for music. A friend of mine referred me to Brad at XLNC Audio & Sound about 3 months ago, and after speaking with him over the phone he somehow was able to settle my nerves, he gave me the confidence to take that first step in doing something I've always wanted to do, and after only two conversations we had scheduled a time and a date for me to come into the studio and record a song. Now, I was only doing this for myself and just wanted to record a song or 2 purely for me personally to listen to and enjoy simply because it has always been a passionate dream of mine to hear myself singing while in the car driving to work in the morning. Of course I wanted the audio quality and production to be as good as possible, but at the same time, I was not willing to spend a large sum of money on something that I was only doing casually and really just for myself. Well, after the first session and listening to the song that I recorded, truthfully I was so blown away at how incredible it sounded! Initially I had not planned to record more than one song (or maybe 2 at the most) but I was soooo happy with the way the first one came out that me and Brad have now completed three more songs! And we are in the process of scheduling a time/date to record another one. I am so unbelievably happy with everything – Especially how wonderful the songs came out in the end. When it comes to Brad, he is very very good at what he does when it comes to music and production. On a personal level, as an individual he was so friendly, kind, easy to talk to, listens very closely to what you have to say and what you want, and he truly wants to do his absolute best for you and your songs or project. You can tell that he genuinely loves music, he is a perfectionist, but he's also efficient as well. He's a very patient and understanding person Who truly understands how important this song was to me, the singer. To me, this was refreshing and very comforting, he is so easy to work with and I can't imagine ever going anywhere else. For the audio production value and overall listening quality of the songs we have completed so far, I can honestly say that the rate/price that he charges for the work he does is amazing and absolutely more than fair when it comes to what you get in return (in fact, I'm very surprised he doesn't charge more! But he doesn't and I'm very happy about that). Overall assessment: Truly an excellent experience for me, he's extremely friendly and does an spectacular job and I can't help but believe it's because of his own personal love for music as well. I have not been disappointed in any way with everything we've done so far. I was a little hesitant at first mainly because he was not charging as much as others were, but believe me, it is quite clear that was his decision because he definitely could, that's for sure. He takes a personal interest in your project and he treats you like a human being! (Without a doubt we sure could use a lot more of that in the world today). But after working with him on a number of different occasions, I could not possibly be more pleased with how things have gone so far! I really enjoy working with Brad, and trust me when I say this: you will definitely end up getting a whole lot more than what you pay for. I would have no problem recommending him to a family member or friend of mine, based off my experience I can only assume that he treats each and everyone of his musicians or clients in the same courteous and respectful way that he did with me, and like I said before, I can't imagine ever choosing to go somewhere else to record my music (much less work with anyone else either) not just because I enjoy his passion for music or because he's easy to work, but also because he does a tremendous job and you can tell he takes pride in that. Highly recommended!!! I'm 100% certain you'll have an recording experienced equally as good as mine was.

I been doing music for a while (hip-hop and rap) and I'm used to recording at those real big industry type studios. The only problem is they all charge so much that I can't record all I want to cus the price too high and I don't have a whole buncha money to spend. I met Brad through a friend and he mentioned he had a recording studio. I didn't take him serious when he said how much he charged for a session, but my friend let me hear some of his songs and other ones he had did for other rappers and I was shocked, impressed with how legit they sounded. So I contacted him, scheduled an all day recording session and no lie, we did all 4 songs start to finish like we talked about. they all came out dope, they sound as good as the ones I done at other high dollar recording spots. Hes a great engineer, great mixer and knows how to master a track the right way. Dude was mad chill, like after my session we just listened to some music and watched the Tar Heel game at his studio. Definitely 100, def satisfied with how my joints came out, all of em sound amazing. I cant tell a difference between the sound quality and clarity and total production of these 4 tracks than the ones I had done at them big-name CLT studios. Dead serious. No lie. The ONLY difference is I was able to get 4 tracks done for about the same price it would cost me to get 1 or 2 done at them other places. Def check him out. XLNC Audio. He is laid-back, knows exactly what he's doing, got all the high end equipment and he don't charge nearly as much like those big mainstream recording studios do. And he a cool dude, he understands that it's about the music (not just about making money) so hes not going to screw you over in anyway. So yea I'll vouch for him on the real, cus he's got a talent for music, and even better is he saved me alot of money so far. Like I said, I vouch for him and his work. So def check him out (XLNC Audio) and for real Brad will hook it up nice for you, def the real deal. Bet.

I've been to many different studios and worked with a variety different producers/engineers over the years. With that said, I had no idea what I was missing until I went to XLNC? They use top of the line equipment, the staff is very well trained, and they truly LOVE what they do, which I suspect is the reason why they charge such incredibly low prices!?! They're fair, patient, flexible professionals who maintain a fun, creative, and stress-free environment.
