About Me

Narrow Gate studios is here to serve your recording needs, no matter which style of music you play. Please contact me by email about any questions you may have regarding your recording project.Hi, I'm Mike. The "sound crafter" of Narrow Gate Studios. This is a new business seeking out talent to record. First off, I'm not just some guy who sets up mic's and hits record while you try your best to play your heart driven music. I become part of what you are doing, sort of like the silent musician for every moment that I work on your project. In a nutshell, I don't work for musicians, I work WITH musicians. I take pride in every project that comes my way. Why? Because I want what you want and that's the best you can get for your money. After all, this is the representation of your pride and joy, why shouldn't it have all the hard work that it deserves.A couple things that you should consider. I call myself a sound crafter because when you record with Narrow Gate Studios, I also like to work not only as a recording engineer, but also as a producer. I am also a guitar player in the band Burdened by Flesh! That being said, my opinions that I offer are positive, and constructive, and always offered, instead of shoved in your face. If you don't like my ideas, that's perfectly fine, however I have found many musicians have come to appreciate the outside influence I can offer. I listen to current bands of all styles so that I know what's out there and "making it". While hard core, and metal is my specialty, I can mix, and master any style you play!The other thing you should consider is the fact that as bands play shows, they need a product to offer their audience. Something more than merely saying check us out on our myspace. The way big bands work is they first go into the studio, record all of their music, then go out and play shows. The shows not only promotes them, but it also promotes their CD, which in turn generates sales. Your band's show may last a night, but the CD can last a lifetime. That's why it's important to record your music at the very first opportunity, so people have something else to remember you or your band by, plus it's really cool to see the audience singing along to your songs at the shows! Recording your music, whether it's a couple of songs, an EP, or a full length CD, should ALWAYS be a bands or musicians TOP priority!Also, Solo Artists are always welcome! At Narrow Gate Studios, we have all the instruments you will need to record an entire song, whether it's just an acoustic guitar and vocals, or a song complete with bass tracks, and drum tracks, we can provide. I have contacts with studio musicians and very reasonable prices!Also, if you already recorded your music elsewhere and you would like to me to mix/master it, we can provide that for you. We can even assist you if you have music that needs certain tracks recorded such as drums or bass. even if your out of state! Please contact us for further details.If you plan on coming in to record from out of town, please contact us in advance so we can provide with you directions and hotel information!Come record with Narrow Gate Studio's as you will find it to be a great experience! We have lot's of great gear and almost constantly upgrading the studio. We look forward to "hearing" you!{}
