About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorPlinko Productions was formed in 1995 as an alternative to overpriced, under-raw music production in the South Bend area. Forward we marched with a handful of crappy mics, a used four-track, a run-down rental house, and a brain full of D.I.Y.

Over the years, we learned the best techniques for recording and mixing while upgrading and acquiring the right equipment along the way. As time progressed, we branched out into other areas: we have a full PA for live sound, we have released several CDs and records from local artists and compilation CDs in the SLACT series featuring groups from all around the world. And because we still believe in the D.I.Y. studio, we do house calls and private clinics for the guy trying to get his own home studio set up.

When you come to record at Plinko, you're not going to get leather couches and an intern making you frappachinos. What you will get is a great sounding record at a reasonable price (and strong, black coffee). It's an easy-going relaxed atmosphere that we create here - and it shows with your performance - you'll play better when you are able to relax and who can relax when you can't even put your feet up to listen to a take? Seriously, we stand by our work 100% and will do whatever it takes to make you happy with the end result.

What we have not skimped on around here is the gear. If you don't have the best guitar, amplifier, or drum set - no problem and at no additional cost to you. That's not to say you shouldn't bring your own gear - the more you use that's yours, the more you will sound like YOU - but if you want the Les Paul/Marshall sound and can't afford to buy your own, we have you covered.

The best thing we do for our clients is provide flexability with our approach. I've heard it said that "All studio guys are mini-Hitlers." Not here at Plinko - in fact, this autocratic attitude by studio Nazis is one of the reasons why we maintain an incredibly high client return rate - we do whatever you want and deliver it in a personable yet professional manner. We can work within almost any budget and time constraint - and unlike every other studio in the area (that I am aware of) this IS our day job. This is what we do: MAKE YOU SOUND AWESOME. If we didn't, we would be able to make a living at this would we?

Here at Plinko we have the skills and real experience and a client list longer than anyone around. We have have worked with and will continue to work with with any band or artist and their style and sub-genre of music: punk, metal, hardcore, hip-hop, country, jazz, soloists, comedians, church groups and whatever else is out there that has yet to be defined. If we can put a mic on it, we can make it sound incredible.


So whether you want to record some drum tracks for your record to finish at home or you want to do a quick-n-dirty demo or you want to do the full-on album project, Plinko has you covered. We have the best quality at the best price and we guarantee it. Don't waste your money at studios that cost three times as much and don't waste your time on your kid brother and his soundblaster - getting a professional sound is cheaper than you think here at Plinko. Feel free to communicate any questions you may have through this myspace or feel free to call: 574.233.0669 - Let's rock!
