JOHNNY VITALE

I come to engineering as a guitarist who has played in bands, written songs, and recorded his own music for over 15 years. When I started engineering, I noticed a disconnect between highly technical engineers and the musicians they're recording. My goal is to bridge that gap and help artists make the best songs possible.

Located in Burbank, CA, I own and operate Nightshade Sound — a boutique recording studio set up for music production and mixing. The facility has both a control room and live room suitable for recording vocals, acoustic instruments, electric guitars, and drums.

My work centers on the musician, supported by reliable engineering and a strong attention to detail. Whether we're tracking, producing, or mixing, my goal is to translate what you feel into something real.
