We’ve worked with artists from every Major Label including Warner Brothers, EMI, Sony, Road Runner, 4AD, Domino, Universal, and countless others.
Wright Way’s engineers are far more than just engineers. Each is also a musician, trained as a producer, who fully understands what it takes to make a great record. Each Producer/Engineer is committed to delivering the highest quality product for every client.
We offer the most modern technology, as well as all the flavors of gear throughout record-making history. We’ve collected and restored recording equipment from all throughout the decades (going back to the 30’s!) to capture an authentic throwback, or to give your project a unique flavor, if that’s what you’re looking for.
Wright Way’s state of the art 4600-square foot recording facility is located in the central part of historic Baltimore. The studio is easily accessible from Washington DC, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Delaware and is just a 20 – minute drive from Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI).
Wright Way is committed to making your next project
better than you ever thought it could be.

Producers & Engineers
Throughout his 29 years of working in production, and over 6000 sessions, Steve Wright has worn many hats. His experience runs the gamut from engineering and producing well-known artists, film mixing and production, electrical engineering, to traveling the world as a live sound engineer. Since 1998, he has owned and operated Wright Way Studios with the goal of providing an environment for artists and producers to thrive. Realizing no two projects are the same, Steve’s focus of production is to break down the music and work within the human emotion. His techniques range from intense digital production to hands off analog recording. These concepts have enabled him to become a respected producer of a diverse range of music enveloping Jazz, Rock, R&B, Reggae, Death Metal, Big Band, Indy, Go Go, Orchestral, Jam Band, EDM etc. Some of his credits over the years include U.N.K.L.E, Mos Def, Gregory Isaacs, Slipknot, Blackstar, Omar Rodriguez, M.I.A, Lake Trout, King Mez, Maysa, Bibi Bourelly, Dying Fetus, Tiffany Evans, Jah Works, North East Groovers, Carl Filipiak, and SR71 not to mention hundreds of regional and local artists spanning four continents.
Drew Lamond started his professional music career playing guitar in the signed local hardcore band Torn Apart. After successful tours in the US and Canada and multiple albums…he decided his passion was on the other side of the glass producing and engineering for other artists. After graduating Sheffield For the Recording Arts in 1996 and freelancing around baltimore, He landed at Wright Way in 2002 and quickly become one of the main engineers at the studio. Over the years he’s become comfortable with any genre of music and likes working with artists towards a unique and individual sound, not necessarily trying to follow the current trend. Some of his recent projects have been Dog Fashion Disco, Polkadot Cadaver, El Creepo, Higher Education, Dennis Chambers, Asthma Castle, Ron Holloway, Never Ending Fall, DuCru, Neutron Bomb, Misery Index, Dying Fetus, Bet The Devil, Mooshie, Autumn Flames, Signs Point East, The Honest Mistakes and many more.

He works with a wide range of artists all over the world including Mac Miller, Iggy Pop, At the Drive-In, Wiz Kalifa, King Los, Nils Lofgren, The Mars Volta, Metric, and on video games like Civilization, Magic the Gathering, and MechWarrior.

A graduate of Omega Studios School in Rockville, MD, Ryan enjoys the fact that there is always something to learn in the world of audio whether it be recording techniques or new technology. All in all he enjoys giving artists and clients a wonderful studio experience.
Nate Lanzino is a producer/ engineer and multi instrumentalist based out of Baltimore and has been a part of the Wrightway Studios family for the past 13 years.

Paul has been recording, mixing, and producing music for longer than he hasn’t been recording, mixing, and producing music. He’s super thankful to have worked with so many incredible artists and musicians, including Turnstile, Panda Bear, Future Islands, Bartees Strange, and Angel Du$t, and has been lucky enough to have shared credits on projects with amazing engineers and producers like Rob Schnapf, Russell Elevado, Will Yip, and Adam Hawkins. Paul considers Wright Way home, and when he’s not recording here, you can find him crawling around in the ceilings running new cables between the studios, inhaling solder at the tech bench building and maintaining the incredible gear collection here, or making sure the feng shui in the Lounge is giving everyone the proper “comfy and creative” vibes. He’s dedicated to growing his skill set constantly, so the answer is always “yes” when the artist asks “can we try that?"
Woody Ranere’s career in music is the result of years of collaboration in and out of the studio as a writer, producer, multi-instrumentalist and touring musician/vocalist for his bands, Lake Trout, With Lions and Mt. Royal. After receiving a degree in Composition and Computer Music from Goucher College, he has divided his time between the studio and the stage. For the last 10 years, Woody has worked as a producer, composer and sound designer for television and award-winning independent films. His work has aired on almost every major network and cable channel. He has produced hundreds of songs from various composers and bands that have aired on countless networks and have been featured in many ad campaigns.
Mastering is the final, critical step before releasing your recordings. It is quite literally the last chance to ‘get it right’. As an accomplished mastering engineer, Tony Eichler has been ‘getting it right’ for a vast array of satisfied clientele, for quite a few years now. In fact, if you listen to the radio, watch TV or have been to the movies, then you’ve already heard his work. His client roster includes : BMG, Chrysalis, Columbia Records, Creative Networks Nashville, Disney, Dimension Films, Dreamworks, Lionsgate, Lucasfilm, Miramax Films, Motherwest, Relapse Records, Tri-Star Films, Warner Bros. Records, and many more…
Tony is quite adept at and comfortable working in any genre of music. Before switching to mastering full-time, he spent over 25 years as a highly sought-after recording engineer, working on everything from major label albums, to top, box office feature films, as well as movie trailers and music for television. As Tony puts it, “Mastering is a natural progression for me. Having recorded and / or mixed virtually everything from acoustic folk to big band, rock to rap, jazz to full orchestral film scores, I pride myself in having an innate sense for what a given project will benefit from at the mastering stage”.
In 2010, Tony built Goldtone MasterWorks; his own, state-of-the-art mastering facility, equipped with a custom, handcrafted signal chain of his design. The centerpiece of the facility is a one-of-a-kind master transfer console, designed and built from the ground up by Tony to serve his style of mastering and workflow. The console includes a unique blend of modern and vintage technologies, making it unlike anything currently available. Part engineer, part technician, part audiophile, Tony has the knowledge, expertise, equipment and most importantly, the ‘golden ears’ to bring out the very best from your music.
Rob Girardi started his music career as a kid playing guitar along to his favorite albums. As his curiosity grew he found himself writing songs, studying composition and eventually ending up at Berklee College Of Music. He immersed himself in the gamelan music of southeast Asia, the blues and folk of the early americas, Jazz of the 50’s-70’s, 70’s psyche, prog, hard rock and classical music. As a Baltimore native, Rob has played in a variety of bands since 1989 (currently with RJVJ) and traveled as a live sound engineer with some of the city’s biggest bands like Beach House and Celebration. Since 1998, Rob has been producing and engineering bands and has worked at Wright Way since 2011. He has recorded with Future Islands, Beach House (Beach House, Devotion), Jenn Wasner, Celebration, Bond Street District, Arboretum, Blacksage, Natural Velvet, Wing Dam, Microkingdom, and The Flying Eyes. “Production to me is mostly about working with someone to enhance their ideas with my experience (not to impose). I steer the ship, but it is always about collaboration. I create an outline with the group then work quickly, maintaining focus and budgets while allowing time for experimentation. Capturing the emotive feeling of a band, getting proper takes, and avoiding “fix in the mix” crutches”.
