Let’s create music that directly connects you with your audience.

Quiethouse Recording is a private residential studio of audio engineer Dereck Blackburn, focused on the art of recording, mixing, and mastering audio.

We are located in the Boston Massachusetts Metro area but have the ability to provide recording, mixing, and mastering services remotely.

15+ years of recording, mixing, and mastering experience

We understand the nuances of your music

Every project is treated as a collaboration

We have a proven track record of helping artists and producers release tracks that make real waves with audiences

“Dereck has exceptional intuition for faithfully rendering instruments with all of their dynamics. I was blown away by how well our tracks preserved every detail, from the subtlety of pick attack to the seamless transitions between clean tones and heavy distortion. Everything just sounded how I imagined it. He’s actively involved in the creative process but not intrusive, which always made the demands of studio tracking much more enjoyable.”

“I think you knocked this out of the park. I think it sounds transparent and clean and everyone I sent it to said that they thought it sounded great and they were able to notice more than they had before from the mixes. Thank you, I'm thrilled and impressed that you were able to get it done so well so quickly.”
