Band Members:Chris Henderly~ setup the recording center to get new bands their first demo recordings. We use a Tascam 788 to record each individual track~ our area at this time is too small for a live recording. We have a DW 5 piece kit that is mic'd and setup with a mixer to record drums, a condenser rack is hooked in conjunction. We use Shure Microphones at this time. We have bass guitars, acoustic and electric Fender/Yamaha/Ibanez 6 strings, as well Yamaha keyboards. If you need a musical part and don't have the musician at the time of recording; I can play bass, guitar, keyboards as well as some easy drum parts. I will offer a couple different variations of what I hear with your music; if it works great, if it dosen't we move on until we find something that fits.Kim Henderly~ Helped to develop the actual studio on a budget; as well as managing some local bands. She is savvy at the promotion level as well as how to get your foot in the door. She believes everyone connected with the band needs to be on the same page for the artist to succeed. With over 25 years of managing; experience speaks for itself. For recording rates, drop her an email.We have a new addition to the crew at VCM; his name is Neil Frasier and he will take care of all your percussion needs. Check his myspace at DW Drummer on this site. He has played with several bands and we will have an official bio up very soon! For rates, drop Kim an email. His availabilty is M-F from 6-8:30-9:00. Your time doesn't consist of his setup; everything is already mic'd and ready to go... MySpaceScripts.com Profile Editor
Influences: Chris~ Afghan Wigs, Pixies, Beatles, Brad Paisley, John Lee Hooker, John Mayer Trio, the Eagles, the Beastie Boys, the Killers, Queen, old Motown, or Stax recordings...just too many to list. The studio is geared more for a pop, rock or blues outfit.Kim~ pretty much everything you can think of from Jazz , Country, Classic Rock to New Rock. She wouldn't do what she does without loving all music; and realizing it is the expression of the artist connecting with the audience.
Sounds Like: We try to make the artist as comfortable as possible. It is our Goal to bring out the excellence in everybody we work with. In this day and age; if you don't have your recorded music within your reach for a promoter, record company, or a fan; you are simply not living up to your potential. Many doors will never open for you until you get those tracks down.What we lack in the latest inovations; we more than make up for with our "one on one" approach. Helping the artist start their career and develop their sound.Think of us as a mapping process for your thoughts, feelings and music...Best Wishes~
