When I was about 12 years old my dad gave me some spare 1/4" reels so that I could play in his recording studio.  Ever since, I have been a studio engineer.  Most recently I am running a recording studio out of Pioneer Theatre Company on The University of Utah Campus.  I record anything from small ensembles for use at Pioneer Theatre Company, to local rock bands, voice-overs, and personal projects.

I thought I'd have a page dedicated to examples of things I have recorded over the past few years.  

Be sure to check out the theatre portfolio for many music recordings fully engineered by Joe Payne for live theatre.

The following are fairly random, yet typical non-theatrical recording projects over the last few years.

how can I keep from singing   wedding prayer

My little sister, Eliza Wren Payne, lives in London, and has for the past few years.  Whenever she visits, we sit down a record a few tracks.  These tracks also feature my brother, Sam, and my Dad, Marvin.  I love my sister's sweet voice.  Wedding Prayer lyrics and this recording © 2007 by Marvin Payne and Eliza Wren Payne.

Music trade.

I have a deal with my brothers and some local band in the area.  They donate and hour and a half of their time for me to use as guinea pigs so that my sound design class can see the practical application of mic placement and recording techniques, and I give them an hour and a half of free studio time.  This track is what my brother, Dave, came up with in his free studio time.  It's rough, but pretty fun.
