Lubbock Recording Studio

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: At Mirrorball Studios, we mainly work in analog because we believe it brings a unique, authentic warmth and depth to the sound that digital often can’t replicate. Analog gear adds a richness and character that makes recordings feel more natural and dynamic. However, we also have the capability to work digitally when needed, giving us the flexibility to provide the best of both worlds depending on the project. Whether analog or digital, our focus is always on achieving the highest quality sound for our clients.

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

A: Our promise to clients is simple: exceptional quality at the best value. We strive to deliver the same high-caliber production as the big-name studios in Nashville and LA, but at a fraction of the cost. Backed by years of hands-on experience in Nashville, we bring that same level of professionalism and attention to detail to every project. Your music deserves the best, and we’re here to make that happen without compromise.

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: We primarily specialize in Country and Christian music, where we bring a deep understanding of these genres to create authentic, high-quality recordings. However, we’re always open to exploring other genres if we feel the fit aligns with our style and expertise. Our goal is to work with artists who share our passion for creating music that resonates and stands the test of time.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: Our strongest skill is our deep expertise and experience. With years of honing our craft, we bring a wealth of knowledge to every project. Whether it’s capturing the perfect sound on tape or crafting a dynamic video, our team’s seasoned approach ensures that every detail is executed with precision and care. We combine traditional techniques with modern technology to create results that truly stand out.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: What we bring to a song is expertise at every stage, from the writing process to production. Whether it’s helping to craft the perfect lyrics, shaping the arrangement, or guiding the performance, we’re here to ensure your vision is realized from start to finish. Our experience in both the creative and technical aspects allows us to elevate each song, bringing out its full potential while keeping the process smooth and collaborative.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: At Mirrorball Studios, we pride ourselves on our analog-friendly setup that blends classic warmth with modern precision. Our studio features the MARA MCI 16-channel tape machine, allowing us to record to tape for that rich, vintage sound. One of our standout pieces is the Yamaha PM2000 console, known for its excellent preamps that deliver a pristine, dynamic sound. We also have a range of outboard hardware, including compressors, EQs, and preamps, to give your recordings that extra touch of professional polish. For seamless integration with modern workflows, we use Pro Tools HDX, ensuring minimal latency for smooth, efficient recording and editing.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: At Mirrorball Studios, we provide a complete production experience from start to finish. We begin with a consultation to understand your vision, followed by high-quality recording and video production. After capturing your performance, we handle mixing, editing, and mastering to create a polished final product. We also assist with promotion, helping you release and share your content with the world.
