The Place to be Heard!

How do we make artist capture that British tone. It’s about microphones (which we have), It’s about microphone placement (which we do), Room size (Got It) and outboard gear (great selection).. Get This Book! It’s not a purchase, it’s an investment. Click on the picture for more info.

Sorry it’s been awhile since I posted a blog, we have been so busy ( and it’s a good thing ) that I have just come home and crashed. I’m sure Jason also makes it to his door sleepwalking. The great thing is we are making fantastic music and putting out some great projects! One of the latest bands we have in are The Bouchards They are in the middle of recording their album, with a country meets classic style of recording. We have been using older guitars, older amps and a long list of classic ribbon mics. Here are some photos that help tell the story.

Here is one of this year’s long awaited releases.  The Young Sportsmen is one of those bands that are timeless in the music that they write & perform.  Great lyrics, strong vocals, catchy hooks combined with a highly entertaining stage presence.  This album has the excellence to be played over & over with no “filler” tunes, each song strong enough to stand on their own because of the quality of the musicianship and production.  Fans keep asking “When will we see & hear new music”?  Well, now is your time to enjoy the Young Sportsmen new and highly anticipated release, Death to Palaces.  Produced by Jason Lackie.
