Keyboard Production
The Process:
You send me your file (there’s a form at checkout to help you) along with details of what you want done.
I record at my home studio in Nashville and deliver back your files in 5-7 business days*.
We do any revisions you want to perfectly match your vision for your project.
What Clients Are Saying:
“Other producer friends send me stuff all the time and I'll ask, "who played keys on this? It's amazing!" The answer is always the same: Eric Barfield. B3, piano, crazy 80's synth sequences...I have heard him do it all, and I can never believe it's the same person.”
-Andy Freeman, Producer
(Eisley, Sons Of Apollo, Jason Hawk Harris)
“Eric is one of the most gifted sonic designers of keys, organic and synthesized, that I have ever worked with. His choices are instinctually phenomenal. When he plays a sound for you, it instantly sounds like a record!“
- Jordan Phillips, Producer & Artist
(Apollo LTD, We Are Messengers, Brandon Heath)
“Eric is hands down the most tasteful and masterful keys player I have ever hired. He has the ability to read exactly what a song needs and fills the space perfectly.”
-Brian Connelly, Artist
“Eric is creative and professional. Love his sounds and what he brings to productions!“
- AJ Pruis, Producer
(Colbie Caillat, Maddie and Tae, Ann Wilson)
“Eric is not only talented but also incredibly creative! He’s always going to give you exactly what you want and then some! Plus, he’s a great hang.”
-Dennis Dearing, Producer
(Natalie Grant, Mathew West, Mandisa, Sara Evans)

What you get with every recording session:
• Keyboard stems recorded in my private studio in Nashville, TN. All audio files are recorded to your specs.
• Walkthrough video explaining all of the keyboard parts, how they work together, and my thoughts on each one.
• Tempo information that matches the original guide track (if using Logic X)
• Marker information that matches the chart (if using Logic X)
• Nashville number chart. I included the chart I made for the song, with any notes, runs, or other info.
• MIDI files. I’ve included a midi file of all of the keyboard parts that I used midi for (that includes external keyboards that I’ve recorded using midi). If for some reason you want to change the sound, just insert a different instrument plugin into your daw and you’re good to go.
• Reference track. A summed bounce of all keyboard parts with your guide track, just to check alignment.
• Free revisions. If you’re not happy with the way the track sounds, I won’t stop working on it until you love it.
*Occasionally it will take longer because of previous committments. If that occurs, I’ll let you know as soon as possible and we’ll work out a strategy together.
