The right players on your record

Session Musicians & Re-amping

Bring real players to your record: drums, guitars, bass, keys, and strings played to your track, plus re-amping to shape DI guitars and bass at the mix stage.

Programmed parts get you far, but real players bring feel that is hard to fake. We connect your project with session musicians for drums, guitars, bass, keys, strings, and more, played to your track in the room. Andrew can also play many parts himself as part of a production session, so you can add human performances without booking a full band.

Re-amping gives you tone options at the mix stage. By recording a clean DI of guitar or bass during tracking, we can later send that signal back out through real amplifiers and cabinets in the room, capturing new tones long after the performance. It means you can commit to a great take and still keep your options open for the sound.

This service pairs with recording and production, whether you need one part added to finish an arrangement or a full rhythm section played on your song. We arrange the parts with you, cast the right players, and capture performances that lift the record.

FAQ

Session Musicians FAQs

Can you add just one instrument to my track?+

Yes. Whether you need a single guitar overdub, a bass line, a string part, or a full rhythm section, we arrange and record exactly what your track needs.

What is re-amping and why would I use it?+

Re-amping records a clean DI of guitar or bass, then later plays it back through real amplifiers and cabinets in the room to capture tone. It lets you commit to a performance while keeping tone decisions open until the mix.

Do you provide the musicians?+

We do. We cast session players from our network for the style you need, and Andrew can play many parts himself as part of a production session.

Can session parts be recorded remotely?+

In many cases yes. Players can record parts to your track and deliver stems, which works well when a specific player is not local. We advise the best approach per project.
