Tim Schilling on SoundBetter

Need guitar? I'm here for it. I've been playing and recording music professionally for 15 years. From indie artists, grammy-winning producers to world class musicians. I'm here to work with you! I believe in the power of a song. Let's make it the best it can be.

Hi all,

My name is Tim Schilling. I'm a musician and native of Philadelphia, PA. I'm here to offer guitar tracks for your musical project or creative vision. While guitar is my primary instrument, I often double on banjo, mandolin and ukelele while working in musical theater situations. Can also add a little bit of bass depending on track as well. I believe in doing the right thing for the music presented. Serve the song.

My goal is to achieve "what you hear in your head" for your project. Favorite artist/sound? Let's go for that. We'll make sure we have exactly what you're looking for.

Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.

Interview with Tim Schilling

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Indie Pop or Gospel
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: (I hope) an energy that is uniquely me. I want to capture the essence of what I'm feeling for the song without disrespecting the vision for the project. Sometimes all you need is a good guitar hook. While its easy to throw a bunch of different ideas to serve your own ego, it's probably best overall to keep it simple and effective.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I'll load the song into Logic. Usually a first listen includes me with a pencil and paper to jot down the form or anything unorthodox. From there I'll make some markers in the DAW in order to help with tracking/workflow. After that dial in some tones. By this point the song is already in my ear after a few listens, so I have some things in mind to play immediately. Then its off to the races.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I mainly use a UAD Apollo Twin as my main piece of gear. Guitar wise, usually a Tele or Les Paul through an AC-30 using a Two Notes Audio Torpedo Captor X.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Julian Lage. Richard Tee. Jason Isbell. Pete Yorn. The Beach Boys.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I record guitar tracks for artists and send an unmixed stem of parts that I've recorded.
