Exhale Recording is a full-service recording studio in the heart of Northern Virginia

Our Services

Production

We want to help envision the environment for your song to live in. Whether we are starting from the beginning of a production for a project or fine tuning arrangements and texture for an existing recording, we will spend time talking through the direction you are wanting to go and structure a game plan for realizing the final sound.

Recording

This is the most important step of your project. We take the time necessary to make sure you’re getting the best capture of your content. We work with Bands, Singer-Songwriters, Solo artists, Voice-overs, Audiobooks, and Podcasts. Clients include local and nationals artists, Disney, PBS, HarperCollins, and more.

Mixing

This is the nerdy part where we refine the story of your recording, getting into all the nitty gritty details to bring out the best elements and dynamics of the song. If you’re recording from home or finishing up tracking at another studio, please bring in your files so we can transform them into an intentional end product.

Remote Sessions

2020 has brought a new workflow to the studio, so for those that can’t make it here or are more comfortable staying home, we offer remote production and mixing sessions as well as remote engineering/production lessons. Although it’s not quite the same as being together in person, we have found the process to be really effective and convenient for a lot of our clients.

Lessons & Internships

We offer comprehensive one on one instruction ranging from signal flow all the way through the mixing process. Production classes are also available, with an emphasis on Logic and Pro Tools. The internships we offer here are directly connected to our classes. All of our interns are/were students. We also offer practice studio time associated with the classes.

Monthly Space Rentals

If you need a space to rehearse for upcoming shows or want a spot to work out of that isn’t where you live, let’s talk. We want to be a home base for creators that are serious about their craft. Consistency is key for creating, and we want to offer monthly rates that can accommodate that and position you to achieve your artistic goals.
