Recording Producing Podcasting Editing Building a Studio Releasing Yourself?

You Need A guide.

You’re trying to get your music in front of people. Whether it’s knowing when to book a show, dealing with bandmate drama, or wrestling with the latest version of that studio-in-a-box, you’re wondering how to produce a work of art to be received by a listening world without losing the passion that drove you to create to begin with.

The intersection between art, technology and commerce can be difficult to navigate. This is why we invented the Creative Catalyst Session.

You want someone who can point you in the right direction, to help you find your sound, help with the technical questions and also offer solid, professional advice. Not to mention a little encouragement, confirmation of your goals, and perhaps a reminder of why you’ve decided to do this in the first place.

I Create Sound is a small, flexible audio consulting agency that can help with any point in the production process.

Hello world!

Artist Development

Don't just take our word for it...

"Meeting Steven Leavitt was a godsend. Not only did he understand my original epic vision completely, but he raised the bar several times over, and the end product turned out better than I ever thought possible. I recommend Steven to any musical artist that is looking to take their art to the next level, whether it’s a professional sounding radio-ready recording, or they just want some advice or technical know-how. It’s a rare find in the current music industry to find someone who is as passionate and dedicated to his craft and his clients as Steven. He’s not just out to make a buck, but he’s here to make sure you get what you want."

Steve Leavitt's expert knowledge and advice was invaluable in guiding me through the intricacies of producing a polished podcast with a professional sound. His numerous insights into the world of podcasting, both in sound technology and logistics, helped me to navigate and ultimately successfully launch my show. I highly recommend Steve, he's a pro who gives 'sound advice'! Play on...

"As an independent-artist, I was often so deep in the trenches of recording that I no longer knew what sounded good. Having a consultant with production experience outside of the recording battle really helped put things in perspective and gave me the push and encouragement to go for the quality I wanted for the songs. If you desire consulting that is fast, gets to the point and quickly runs through realistic options to help get the most from your music and business, I highly recommend Steven Leavitt. The amount of unbiased knowledge and wisdom I received in our 30 minute sessions, allowed me to get the album I wanted, with the sound I wanted, saving me precious amounts of production time that I would have wasted running around in circles. Thank you Steve!"

"This testimonial is to certify that Mr. Steven Leavitt is a real "stand-up guy" and very good at what he does ... His work on the mixing board is nothing short of magical, and would probably put Merlin out of a job. His knack for hunt and splice is beyond anything I have ever experienced. And the speed with which he does it doesn't even leave me time to complement his choices. His ear for the right sound would challenge any canine that I have ever known. His balance of the varying instruments and voice has been perfection, but I wouldn't tell him that directly. I don't want him to get a swell head, and I'm sure that we'll be having many arguments in the future that I would like to win."

FAQ

What exactly is the “Producer for a Day” session?

The “Producer for a Day” session gives you access to an experienced producer, allowing you to get a fresh perspective on your music. Together, we dive into your vision, exploring everything from sound design to arranging and enhancing your existing tracks. Whether you’re stuck on a specific part or looking to polish your entire piece, this session provides tailored, hands-on guidance to help you reach your creative goals.

What If I'm New to Recording or Music Production? Can I Still Book a Session?

Absolutely. The sessions are designed for musicians at every stage. If you’re just starting out, our time together can focus on fundamental techniques, helping you understand your recording setup, sound basics, or songwriting tips. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and supported, no matter where you’re starting from.

How is Working with I create sound different from a traditional recording studio?

At I Create Sound, it’s not just about hitting record – it’s about creating a collaborative, inspiring experience. We “do it together” rather than taking over the process. Our sessions involve in-depth, creative conversations, problem-solving, and tailored advice to help you uncover your sound. Whether in-person or remotely, my approach is designed to offer you both technical expertise and artistic mentorship.

What if I don't know exactly what sound i'm going for?

No problem! Many artists feel this way. Our sessions are designed to help you clarify and uncover your unique sound. Through a process of exploration, listening, and creative brainstorming, we’ll pinpoint the direction that resonates most with your vision. It’s all about helping you find what feels authentic and exciting.

Can I bring in a nearly finished track for feedback?

Absolutely. If you’re near the end of your project but feel like something’s missing, we can focus on refining the elements you already have. Our goal will be to polish the piece, making any adjustments needed to help it sound its best and feel complete.

How do remote sessions work?

Remote sessions are conducted over a platform that allows high-quality audio sharing and screen-sharing, so you can get real-time feedback on your project. We’ll test the platform in advance if needed to ensure everything goes smoothly. My approach to remote sessions is just as hands-on, focusing on collaboration to achieve your desired sound.

What if I need more than one session?

No problem at all. Many artists book follow-up sessions as they progress through different stages of their project. Depending on your goals, we can arrange a series of sessions or even a custom package that suits your specific timeline and needs.

How do I know if this is right for me?

If you’re looking for personalized feedback, collaborative input, or want to refine your sound with an experienced producer, this is for you. Clients range from solo musicians recording at home to bands needing expert guidance. It’s ideal for anyone seeking a creative ally to help bring their vision to life.

Can you really help me plug in my microphone?

Yes! People say we teach anything from the simple to the complex without making anyone feel dumb. No question is too simple and nothing you want to learn is too complex to teach! I Create Sound pairs audio creatives with expert advisors to get through every aspect of a musical project. From launching a Kickstarter, to setting up a home studio, to giving unbiased feedback on your mixes, I Create Sound is here to help you move through your creative project with ease.
