Paper Sleeve’s Creative Partnership is for artists we believe in strongly enough to build with.

This is not standard studio time and it is not a traditional label deal. Creative Partners work with Paper Sleeve to develop, record, release, promote, and sell music through the Paper Sleeve imprint. You may bring finished songs, demos, lyrics, or rough ideas, or we may create new material together from scratch. We look for artists with strong songs, clear identity, audience interest, and a strong work ethic.

Whether you’re starting with a voice memo or a fully realized song, we have the experience and tools to deliver to you a fully realized, finished track, EP, or Album. This is a hands-on, collaborative experience where artists will receive guidance, creative support, and sonically powerful results without the pressure of a traditional studio, and at a fraction of the cost.

You deserve a collaborative partner who cares about your music as much as you do. Our intentional, personalized approach to music-making is a celebration of thoughtful collaboration in sound and music.

• Initial creative consultation

If you’re ready to put excitement and spontaneity back into the recording process, then our on site recording service is exactly what you’re looking for! We have designed our recording rig from the ground up, featuring a small but powerful selection of microphones and analog gear, purpose built to capture your sound as it was meant to be heard, live and in your element. While modern recording techniques have come a long way in delivering clarity, it comes at a cost, and that cost is often the very essence of what makes a band human, and unique.

If you want to capture a performance that is truly unique and your own, then this service is designed for you.

Recording sessions with Paper Sleeve are designed to feel focused, unhurried, and exploratory in nature. We take the time to understand your sound and get it right at the source, using our small but robust selection of high quality microphones, analog hardware, and digital effects processors to serve your sound.

Much like our studio recording service, on site recording is ideal for independent artists who want to create artistically accurate music without being restricted by the studio clock.

Each on site recording session includes:

• Initial consultation to discuss your sound and artistic vision

• Creative support during tracking (takes, pacing, performance guidance)

• Basic editing and audio cleanup after the session

• Delivery of mix ready high-resolution audio files (WAV or AIFF)

• Discounts available for larger projects

Cost 50$ per instrument, per song + $150 travel fee (limited to 20 miles from the studio).

Whether you’ve recorded with us or in your own home studio, we have the tools and experience to give each element in your mix the focus it deserves, delivering a competitive, dynamic, captivating mix with a unique sonic fingerprint that will help ensure that your recordings don’t get lost in the shuffle. We can help shape your raw recordings into a finished work that honors the emotion and intent behind your performance.

Each Mixing Package includes:

• Initial consultation to discuss your vision

• Mix of up to 24 tracks per song

• Up to three rounds of revisions

• Feedback and consultation on track prep and song arrangement

• Additional tracks available

• Deliverables include stereo mix in high quality WAV/AIFF/MP3 format, as well as multi-track stems.
