Artifact Audio is the studio of Musician/Producer/Engineer Sasha Stroud; it’s a trans built, owned, and operated Recording, Mixing, and Mastering studio located in Maspeth, Queens.

Artifact features a large+well lit live room, two ISO booths, and a myriad of fantastic recording+musical equipment. The studio was founded on the principle that the record-making process should be empowering, affordable, and accessible to anyone committed to making great art. As a producer and engineer, I am committed to ensuring the artist has all the tools and technical+creative support they need to make a record they will be proud of forever!

Mastering

Booking/Rates

My day rate is $400/8 hours, and my hourly rate is $50/hour. Typical hours are 11am-7pm.

How much many days/hours one should budget for tracking, mixing, and mastering are all dependent on the project itself, so please include as many details as possible! How many minutes of music, instrumentation, sonic goals, are you tracking live or one instrument at a time, budget, deadline, ect.

If you’re sending files for mix and/or master, please deliver clearly labeled WAV files at the resolution you tracked/mixed at (ideally 48kHz/24 bit at the minimum). For mastering, make sure to include track order, the side break for vinyl (if applicable), and what deliverables/formats you need.

For any other inquires, please email artifactaudionyc@gmail.com
