Remote Recording

Wherever you are in the world, Joe can record professional guitar stems for your song using his home studio set up.

If you’re an artist, producer, composer, sound designer or musical director, Joe can adapt his recording process to meet your projects requirements.

How It Works

Send over your song/memo, how many guitar tracks you require & any reference guitar sounds. Joe will then record a rough take and send over via WhatsApp or email for your approval. If you require any guitar arrangement ideas, Joe will gladly provide some suggestions.

Once you’re happy with the guitar parts, 50% of the agreed fee is required to start work on the project. Joe will then record and edit a guitar track for you and send over via we transfer as a 24 Bit WAV file.

If you require any revisions or amendments Joe will record this for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

You send me your track (or a rough memo), details on the guitar parts needed, and any reference sounds/styles. I’ll record a quick rough take and send it over (via WhatsApp or email) for your feedback and approval. If you’d like arrangement ideas, I’m happy to suggest some.

Once you’re happy with the direction, a 50% deposit secures the work. I then record, edit, and deliver the final tracks via WeTransfer. A complimentary Zoom call is included if you’d like to discuss the project in more detail.

Rates are project-dependent but typically start from:

• Acoustic Guitar tracks: from £40 per hour
• Electric/Rhythm Guitar tracks: from £40 per hour
• Lead/Solo Guitar tracks: from £40 per hour

Complex arrangements, multiple layers, or urgent deadlines may increase the fee. Contact me for a custom quote based on your specific needs.

All final tracks are delivered as high-quality 24-bit WAV files, bounced from 0dB with clean headroom.

Dry (DI) stems are available on request for electric guitar parts. Processed/amped sounds are also provided as separate stems where relevant.

Two rounds of revisions are included in the standard fee to ensure you’re completely happy with the parts. Additional revisions can be arranged if needed.

Yes – I always provide a complimentary rough take (or multiple ideas if requested) for your approval before any payment or final recording begins. This ensures we’re aligned on the vision from the start.

I work in a treated professional home studio with high-end gear including:

• Acoustic recordings via Neumann TLM 102 and other premium condensers
• Electric guitar through quality amp modelling (Neural DSP, UAD plugins) and real amps when needed
• High-end interfaces and converters for pristine 24-bit capture

I’m happy to discuss specific signal chains or plugin choices to match your desired tone.
