What does a typical recording session consist of?
For a full band we prefer to record the drums and a scratch bass, guitar and/or vocal track. We then track every instrument separately and re-track vocals last. If you'd like to record live that's no problem - we do a lot of this type of work also.
Should I bring my drum kit, amp, guitar?
Yes. Please bring your gear, we do have a few instruments and amps, but prefer that people bring their gear in order to capture their sound. We do not have a drum kit available for recording.
Can you add bass and drums to my guitar's and vocals?
Sure, we can do this a number of ways. Either with an actual drummer and bass player, or with virtual drums, drum samples, or synthesizers. For most music I would recommend an actual drummer - but for certain projects sometimes its kind of hip to have electro drums. I am an expert at midi production, and can program virtually any drum beat and have very sophisticated drumming software.
Can I come early to set up?
Sure, you can show up as early as we all agree to before hand. For example if you book 12-8 you can show up at 11 (as long as it is cleared with us) and set up and be ready to go by 12, and we won't be sticklers and charge you for that early hour setup.
Can we smoke and drink beer at the studio?
Sure, just please smoke in the designated area, and be careful with the alcohol. A drunk guitar player thinks he's great until the next day when he listens to the recording.
Food?
We have a very basic kitchenette with a large toaster oven (big enough to bake 12inch frozen pizzas), hot plate, coffee maker, slow cooker, and a small fridge.
Why is it so cheap and sound so great?
I have been doing research for years on gear and mic's and understand how to get the most out of what one has. In fact my main audio/digital converter is a unit that was sent away to a small company that modifies and upgrades circuitry to get an amazing sound out of it (Black Lion Audio). As for it being cheap, I simply want to record good music for good people at good rates. It's more important to me to help people get their music out there and make them happy then to make a million dollars.
Can I ride the Llamas?
No. I don't think they'd like that much. However they might let you if you give them a ride first.
