At MOON MUTT Recording Studio, we believe your dedication to creating music should come with its own set of rewards. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Beat Bucks—our way of giving back to the artists who make our studio a vibrant, creative hub. With Beat Bucks, every recording session doesn’t just bring your music to life; it brings you closer to valuable rewards.
Are you ready to transform your musical journey with unparalleled support and rewards? Whether you're stepping into MOON MUTT Recording Studio for the first time or looking to amplify your existing membership, joining or upgrading in the Backstage Pass Program is seamless.
Joining is straightforward—simply complete any paid recording session at MOON MUTT Recording Studio, and you'll automatically enroll at the Opener level. From there, you can enjoy the benefits and explore opportunities to upgrade your membership as you grow.
Beat Bucks are our way of rewarding your commitment to your music and our studio. You earn 1 Beat Buck for every $10 spent on recording sessions. Each Beat Buck is worth $1 towards future services and add-ons, valid for one year from earning.
Beat Bucks can be redeemed for a wide range of services and add-ons to support your music journey, excluding recording session hours. This gives you flexibility to choose how best to invest in your music’s growth.
If a quarter lapses without a paid session, your membership will default to the Lite tier. You can always reactivate your Opener status by booking a session or opting for a subscription to maintain or enhance your membership level.
Yes, we offer a subscription option for members who wish to maintain their Opener, Headliner, or Megastar benefits without the quarterly session requirement. This flexibility ensures you can keep accessing the program’s perks according to your needs.
Upgrading is easy—review the benefits of each tier in our program details and contact us when you’re ready to elevate your membership. We’ll guide you through the upgrade process and help you maximize the advantages of your new tier.

Your dreams are loud; let's give them the stage they deserve. I truly and sincerely want to see you succeed and am excited to be a part of your music journey.
Does your track need a touch of pitch correction? Maybe you’re looking for the “auto-tune” effect. Or, maybe the timing needs a little tightening up, and recording again just isn’t an option. No matter the circumstances, the studio can help! Contact MOON MUTT Recording Studio to discuss your needs and what you can expect.
No mom would serve up Thanksgiving pumpkin pie without whip cream, and no recording is quite ready to be served to the fans without mastering. Now that we’ve got your tracks laid down and every instrument has the attention it deserves, it’s time to make that music taste sweet by giving it the punch, width, clarity, and volume to compete with other commercially available tracks.
After we’ve finished capturing your vibe though, rest assured that MOON MUTT is also operated by a fellow lifelong musician who actually is invested in helping you! I can offer tasteful input when asked, assist with a riff or vocal harmony when needed, or simply sit back and feel blessed to share a love for the sonic picture you, the artist, are painting.
I have enjoyed the opportunity and privilege of helping (and learning from) talent to get their music from the “idea stage” to the masses, and have over 40 years of combined schooling and practical experience, not only as an engineer but as a working musician (and music lover and enthusiast).
So, I know what it’s like to be in your shoes, which is why I want so badly to help you!
Equipment is only a part of the picture. The utmost care is given to the artist & their vision before recording even begins, and incredible attention is given to capturing the best recordings possible before any mixing or editing is done (since getting a great recording, in the beginning, can lead to a stellar track in the end, after all).

MOON MUTT is a custom-built, beautiful & budget-minded recording studio located in the country just south of Roswell, New Mexico. It is available for live recording & multi-tracking, mixing & mastering services both in-house & through online collaboration.
An all-wood dedicated tracking room promotes an intimate session between you and your music, while acoustic treatments help to capture the life and spirit of your recording. Proven techniques used in conjunction with the same tried and tested professional microphones used by artists from Snoop Dogg to Miscke Butler, tube pre-amps, and other analog equipment and interfaces begin the signal chain whether you prefer a “live” or multi-tracked recording format.
From there, all tracks are recorded using the widely accepted industry standard bit depths and sampling rates through quality A/D/A converters allowing for clean, well represented sonic reproductions within the dynamic audio spectrum.

By the time all of this is said and done, we will have gotten to know each other pretty well. We'd say that entitles you to a "family rate"! (And if you like this, just wait 'til the family reunion three-legged race!)
Get 15% off of any studio service for life!
That's off of every single invoice. Even if we're running a special!
Rack up those savings! For life!
These days, authenticity is where it’s at. Let’em know you’re a real person with your stats and put your professional foot forward for the industry with a 500-word pro bio.
Your vital statistics, what town you're reppin’, and other basic demographic info will be easily seen. A 500-word biography will also be written by a professional, published author. You’ll have exactly what is needed when you start to push your press kit to DJs, bloggers, or anyone else who needs the info for their audience.
Your music isn’t a “one and done” sorta thing. You’ve got more hits coming. When you’re ready to release, your website is ready to host.
– Your first release is included**
– $50 credit/year for life
– $2.50/track thereafter to upload, store, and stream
You've poured your heart and soul into your music. Don't drop the ball now by just throwing it 'out there' with the hope that someone will listen! (Just dropped a new track! Take a listen! Hello? Anyone out there?)
Hopefully, you started getting all your ducks in a row when you entered the studio, but if you didn't there's still hope! We know you're stoked to drop your track, but just pump the brakes a little and exercise some discipline. You want to generate some hype and get your fans salivating for your release before you make it public.
This Upgraded Plan will equip you with a set of enhanced tools you need to execute a solid release and post-release strategy. Customizable social-buzz templates, content ideas, and even a calendar outline and release checklist to make sure you're all set to unleash your music beast with maximum impact.
You're able to post your events online, and now you've got the ability to sell tickets, too! Know exactly how many fans to expect, get attendees to fill out forms and learn more about your fans, and even set up tiered tickets!
The average ticket commerce system takes a 15% cut of the face value of your ticket price. So, imagine selling 100 tickets a month at $10 a pop. If you're part of a 5 piece band, that's each of you bringing 10 paying fans to two shows a month. Easy! (Thanks for coming Mom and Dad, and for bringing the dogs!)
Selling the tickets yourself puts an extra $1800 a year in your pockets! That ain't chump change.
Your music is killer, but your eye for fashion is even killer-ee-er. (It's a word. Look it up. Please, don't.)
And one of the cool things about good-looking merch? Even non-fans will sport it if it looks hot! Now you've got fans and not-yet fans as walking supporters of your brand. That gets attention. And that's worth way more than the cost of a shirt.
This isn't your grandad's slideshow presentation. (Not you, pops! I really enjoyed your 76-slide presentation of how your liver spots have progressed.)
Set up a live stream for your fans! Plus, you can sell seats or even put your live feed behind a password-protected wall, available only for your special fan club. Take advantage of reaching your fans even when you're not in their city.
By the time all of this is said and done, we will have gotten to know each other pretty well. We'd say that entitles you to a little "hook up"! (Just please don't ask us to help you move. Ok, maybe just once. We'll see.)

These days, authenticity is where it’s at. Let’em know you’re a real person with your stats and put your professional foot forward for the industry with a 300-word pro bio.
Your vital statistics, the town you're reppin’, and other basic demographic info will be easily seen. A 300-word biography will also be written by a professional, published author.

Your music isn't just up against other music. It's up against everything else out there! News, DM's...you name it. Everyone and everything is vying for the attention of your fans and potentially stealing their time away from you and your craft. Cut down the noise at least a little by embedding your social feed on your site!
Your fans can now listen, download, or even shop, all while still checking out your live IG feed.
Hey...every minute spent with your music is another opportunity for someone to get it stuck in their head. (Which is a welcomed thing, as opposed to this infernal CD that is skipping in my mind!)

We know you're stoked to drop your track, but just pump the brakes a little and exercise some discipline. You want to generate some hype and get your fans salivating for your release before you make it public.
This Basic Plan will equip you with at least the minimum tools you need to execute a solid release strategy. Customizable social-buzz templates, content ideas, and even a calendar outline and release checklist to make sure you're all set to unleash your music beast with maximum impact.
Your music isn’t a “one and done” sorta thing. You’ve got more hits coming. When you’re ready to release, your website is ready to host.
– Your first release is included**
– $25 credit/year/3 years
– $2.50/track thereafter to upload, store, and stream
You've got your fans craving your TikTok content. (All that dance MTV really paid off!) What about your long-form content? Add your super-rich video content to your YouTube channel so it can also be streamed from your website.
Again, all so you can keep your fans focused on the greatest thing you have to offer them; you!
Plus, by adding a custom subscribe button near your award-winning video, you can focus on driving fans to your site, and your CTA's (call-to-action) like your email opt-in form, without having to sacrifice potential subscribers to your YT channel!
Standard Version: Add your entire channel to your website so your videos aren't just front and center, they're the whole enchilada! This way your fans can watch your video content, add streaming views to your channel, and see what else you, and only you, have to offer.
Facebook event is a great place to mention what you've got going on. That is, so long as your fans, both current and potential, see it in time! (I missed The Ramones' farewell show, again?!)
Make sure everyone knows what you're up to by adding your events to your very own calendar on your site! You get a front-end login to add all the important details, like date, time, and location, and can add other fun stuff, too! Like who else is going to be there, vendors on site, etc. You also get to showcase your killer flyer artwork AND visitors can add it to their own calendar straight from the site!
We know, we know...we bring up the lopsided truth of streaming royalties a lot! But seriously, do you know how many streams it takes to make a buck?! (It's just under 144 streams. Somebody, please, make that make sense to me!)
You put in the hard work. You put in the hours honing your craft. You put in the blood, sweat, and tears. Why should "they" reap all the rewards??
Sell downloads to your fans and see why streaming only is the worst way to go. (Hack: you could even make that B-side recording available only by downloading on your site <wink>)
Your fans already have their phones at your shows. They carry them while they walk downtown. Making sure you’ve got your phone is the same now as making sure you’ve got your ID on you. Leverage that fact!
Use your QR code to give fans a quick and easy way to get where you need them to go. Your socials. Your email. Your downloads. Wherever! With this bundle, you even have the chance to direct social traffic with your own link-in-bio tool. It’s so much more than just a link. It’s a feature-packed custom landing page, too!
Use your very own QR account and log in to create unlimited static or dynamic QR codes that can point anywhere you desire. We will also help you set up your own branded link-in-bio page and send you regular analytics to see which clicks and views are coming from where so you can tailor your efforts to where they’re making the biggest impact!
It’s under the hood stuff, but without an engine, your ride will go nowhere. Let’s make sure when fans search for you on the web, you don’t get buried under the rest.
Google analytics is constantly changing and so is what “it” deems qualifies as a website worthy of popping up when someone does a search. Your website will be built with all the boxes checked to give you the best chance of ranking high on the search results.
Even if you don’t know what “SSL” stands for, you’ve seen it. It’s the little padlock up next to the web address that lets everyone know your site is safe to transmit info. One little icon makes all the difference.
We will handle setting up and installing your SSL certificate so that the web, and more importantly your visitors, know that your site is safe and secure. (Isn’t that cozy?!)
There are a ton of places to host your site. Saying they’re all the same is like saying any economy car is like a Benz. We host on reliable and fast servers. And, we do the heavy lifting of setting it all up.
The painstaking and tedious task of finding reliable servers has already been done. You’ll have plenty of storage and plenty of power to run your website, and it’ll be with servers that utilize the latest technology and are here to stay.
The web was born for the full-screen experience. But, let’s face it. Too many people miss out because they use their cells. No worries! Now you can include them, too.
How infuriating is it to try and navigate a website that was obviously not meant to be seen on a smaller screen, right?! Get a website design that dynamically adjusts to the size of the screen the user is…using.
Your music isn’t a “one and done” sorta thing. You’ve got more hits coming. When you’re ready to release, your website is ready to host.

Collect your fans’ emails. Send out blasts with “need to know” info. The point? Your fans are your fans. The platforms can’t take’em away.
Create a powerful custom form that integrates with your very own email management service account. Collect emails and have the ability to send out campaigns, notices, and automatic replies, or get creative and send out things like contest notices. You name it! And, keep your brand on your fans’ minds. Keep the keys to your fans in your pocket…not the pockets of big socials’.
Share important music news, or chronicle your road trip, backstage antics, or even what “they” wore on stage, if that’s your bag! (Dear Diary…)
Get your own login and access to your site’s blog and say or promote anything you think is valuable. That sort of thing keeps’em coming back!

Basic Version: Features the video of your choice. Suggests other videos when yours is finished playing.
This is why you’re here! Instead of letting your fans get distracted by other music, ads, and who knows what else, send’em here to keep their eyes (and ears) focused on you. Plus, a website shows you’re a pro to be taken seriously.
Your music will be hosted and playable on a widget that is designed with your brand in mind. Your colors. Your style. Your sound. And it’s all yours. You’re the opener and the headliner. No distractions. Plus, when you give industry people the link, they’ll see your custom professional website. Not you and a ton of other artists on Soundcloud.
