Young Love Recording Studio

creative recording!

About Me

---The studio is run by musicians and songwriters. We've found this to come in very handy when recording. Not all engineers are musicians. We are youthful, enthusiastic, positive and fun.
---We believe in the importance of good gear, but feel that musicians don't need to spend large amounts of money to get a great recording. Of course nice microphones, preamps and compressors help, but we believe that ears, technique and nice gear are most important, in that order.
---Gary earned a BA in Audio Production, has been a recording engineer since 1992 and a musician for longer. As a sideman he was signed to Virgin Records where he got the experience of recording with platinum producer Nellee Hooper (Bjork, Madonna, Smashing Pumpkins, No Doubt, Massive Attack). Gary has lived and worked in San Francisco, LA, London and NY.

More Options for recording
As if Pro Tools doesn't give us enough options...
Gary is also an engineer at Sonart Recording Studio in Mt. Tremper, NY. If your budget allows, we can record drums with their superb gear and top of the line mic collection and bring those tracks here to add layers and mix.
