recording ⋅ live sessions ⋅ mixing ⋅ mastering

At Mindreader Recording in Port Richmond, we’re interested in capturing what makes your band sound like your band. We focus on getting the strongest performance possible while preserving the energy and dynamics that make it yours. We take deliberate care with source, mic placement, and gain staging, using our preamps and recording chain to capture each part as cleanly and faithfully as possible. Once we have that foundation, we build from it with additional layers, production, and arrangement as the song calls for it.

With backgrounds in national and international touring, live sound in Philly clubs, houses, and venues, and collective decades of playing, booking, and hosting house shows, we know how to draw the best performance out of a band and how to capture it naturally.

We’ll use whatever tracking process best serves the song, from fully live performances to click-based multitracking and everything in between. We love producing vocal stacks, guitar tones, pads, and other layers across shoegaze, country, rock, pop, chamber music, and beyond.
