About

We are results oriented. If you come to us, our name is also on your project. We won't allow it to go out into the world if it is not ready. As with any creative endeavor it's all about creating a comfortable, trusting rapport between all involved. We’ve told again and again we do that well. We enjoy learning the way others create. Nobody works the same way. We also love learning new music and discovering new musicians. The ultimate is to be able to look back at a finished project with satisfaction, knowing that we had a hand in making it what it ended up being.

Hired on Thumbtack

Job was to clean up a rehearsal recording of a song I played keyboard on with a singing group. He volunteered to do the job despite not having a separate vocal track. He had a separate instrumental track and a rehearsal track with the voices. Nicolas was very honest and detailed with the assessment. I asked him to work it up and get it as clean as he could and he did so. It was sooo much cleaner than it Initially was! Then, after telling him that the singers were not happy with it (they were drowned out a lot and there were a few wrong notes in it), Nicolas found a similar piece that seemed to work, but it was too short. He immediately suggested that he could fix the other piece he found by putting a similar structure at the end, thereby making it sound almost identical to the piece I played. Truly amazing! I would not have thought someone would go that far to fix another problem after already having been paid for another job. Impressive, and ONE WOULD BE NUTS not to use his service, which I plan on doing in the future! Nicole Price Sedgwick

When it comes to recording a song or an album I want a quality professional producer and engineer to work with, and Nico at Sweet Spot is exactly that. If you're recording any song you've poured your heart into you want someone who who is going to take the time to make that song sound great. Do yourself and/or your band a favor and never go for the "cheapest" option when looking for a studio. Look for something like Sweet Spot, you'll be glad you did!

Nico did the arrangement of a song and coordinated with a singer/guitarist, and filled in the sound. The experience was mega-fun; the atmosphere was comfortable; and good things happened, ie, a recording that I am thrilled with.

FAQs

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am on the board of governors at the Recording Academy's DC chapter. (The Grammies) This keeps me connected with leaders in my field. I also serve on the Producers and Engineers Wing of the Recording Academy. For years I was a beta tester for WAVES. I still remain in touch with this community. I also attend NAMM to get my hands on the latest products and talk to manufacturers about where they see things heading. I read a ton of blogs, forums, and magazines about sound.
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Quality takes time. There is no substitute for spending a few extra hours on a project. I can get to 80% quickly. Achieving that extra 20% which makes your music on par with what you hear on the radio takes much longer. Longer sometimes than it took to get to the first 80%. It's your music. You decide.
