A: Take your time and make sure everything is perfect. And for performers going to a studio, our number one tip is to make sure you have the material down pat, this makes a great recording and saves everyone time.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: A combination of both for sure, doing a mix through an analog console is so much more clear and separated than doing a digital bounce, that is the most important use of analog gear, summing in the analog domain on a legendary console.

A: We will give you what you are looking for. We guarantee it, if you can provide us with clear communication and examples of what you want we can accomplish anything!!

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: That you don't need a good analog based studio to get a professional sound. This is absolutely false, in order to get a sound that translates across many mediums from the grocery store PA system to your car stereo, a great room with great monitoring and great gear is needed. Only so much can be done on a laptop or in a project studio. The final stages should be left to a good studio with great gear and experienced engineers.
