Hi! My name is Greg Elkins and I’m a professional producer, recording engineer, mixer and composer. Pershing Hill Sound is my private music production facility located near downtown Raleigh, NC.
My goal is to offer you the best service by customizing what I do to suit the needs of your project.
Need a producer who will take charge and deliver excellent results on time and under budget?
No problem.
Need a recording engineer who knows how to stay out of the way as you or your producer steer the project?
Glad to do it.
Need someone who’s comfortable with a role somewhere between the two?
Let’s talk about it.
Recording at home or in some other hybrid situation?
Happy to be involved.
Want to work with me at another facility?
Let’s make it happen.

Rates
When an hourly or daily rate is appropriate, that rate is $50 per hour or $360 for an 8 hour day.
If I am fully producing your project the rate is negotiable on a “per song” or “per project” basis.
If we are working away from Pershing Hill Sound the rate is dependent upon the rates of outside facilities. Please let me know if you are interested in this. I can acquire favorable rates at several larger studios.
If you are a qualified engineer and you would like to make use of Pershing Hill Sound please let me know and I will do all that I can to accommodate.
