Creation

Craft the perfect song

Whether you have a few chords with lyrics to a fully written or programmed song, I can help you transform your music into a release-ready product.

As long as you have basics of a song and the vision, I have the knowledge and expertise to help you achieve the sound you envisage.

Tell me what you would like to achieve and we will work together in a comfortable and well-equipped studio to explore and bring your ideas to life.

Mixing and Mastering

Sound amazing. Stand out

Without a great mix, the priceless hours you’ve spent creating your track are worthless.

Don’t put in countless hours of work, creative ideas and your hard-earned money, only to get a final product that destroys everything you’ve done.

The mix can make or break your track.

I can take raw tracks you’ve recorded or produced at any professional or home studio and turn them into polished, professional tracks that convey your message with clarity and feeling.

Production

Finish your tracks

As a producer I can help you to craft your sound. Together we’ll build a piece of music to your desired result.

If you are looking to realise a particular sound with your music either through the use of technology, mixing techniques or use of instrumentation, then I can help.

I have worked on countless releases spanning many music genres – get in touch and let me help to develop your sound.

Why Hire Me?

Hi, I’m Ralph Stokes. I’ve been writing, producing, performing and recording music for most of my adult life.

I’ve struggled, conquered and succeeded with music many times. I’ve experienced the pains and joys of being passionate about music. I’ve been where you are today, and I understand exactly what it’s like to be an artist.

I’ve worked with many artists and musicians to bring their ideas to life, and made many friends in the process.

I say this because I want you to know that the music you’ve worked so hard to create is in the hands of someone who cares about you and your art and knows what they’re doing.

I’m here to make you sound great, that’s it.

My professionally treated home-based studio provides a comfortable and relaxed environment for writing, recording, producing and mixing in a rural setting not far from Newcastle city centre. We’ll have a fun and memorable experience crafting something you can be proud of forever.

Expect a highly trained ear capable of getting the best out of any situation. I have an ever growing collection of professional equipment and instruments in-house. I have a vast collection of professional plugins and virtual instruments and substantial processing power to implement any sound imaginable.

I like to track large recording sessions at Loft studios and Blank studios where I have access to the regions best acoustic spaces and recording equipment the region has to offer.

Equipment and facilities are incredible and Ralph is a pleasure to work with. He offers thoughtful insights and ideas and knows so much!! His time and expertise were so valuable and a huge part of why I will continue to record at Blueleaf Studio. The whole experience is professional , enjoyable and I would absolutely recommend Blueleaf Studio to anyone looking to record.
