Life is short, record your legacy!

About Me

Thanks for visiting. I own and operate a 24+ track digital recording studio. My goal is to make it possible for up-and-coming musicians that are on a budget to be able to afford a high quality recording. So many bands now-a-days are buying recording software thinking they will get a good product. What they don't realize is that it takes years of practice, schooling, and apprenticeships to obtain skills in the feild of audio engineering. I myself am an MIW graduate. Ive been trained on everything from a split council SSL, to digital mixers, to "in-the-box" laptop studios. I have been recording since a young age, usually as a drummer, which I also continue to do semi-professionally. I have recorded everything from metal to pop to experimental. I run Pro-Tools and have this system routed to a Mackie 24 channel 8 bus mixer. I have mics from Shure, Audio-Technica, AKG and more. Availible for rental is a well-tuned and maintained Gretch Catillina Club 4 piece drum kit and a vintage yamaha stage coustom with cymbals from Zildijan and Sabian. I am set up for any midi devices and have sound modules by E-Mu, including Mo Phatt and Proteus 1. I also have no shortage of high end plug-ins and software effects to get most any sound you could imagine. I use pre amps by M-Audio, Digidesign and Mackie. My studio gets a damn good sound for a fraction of what a major studio would charge. If you want a non-budget recording for a budget price, please get in touch with me. Include your band details and I will be happy to discuss with you how I can help you record your legacy. Bands and solo musicians that respect their songs should definitely have them recorded professionally. I am always happy to see up-and-coming artists and be a part of the music community.
Thank you,
