THE SCENE
Acoustic-based Performers
We are proud of the fact that we have one of the best acoustic
instrument recording engineers in the Midwest working with us. Tracking an
acoustic guitar is not as easy as one would think, if you want it to sound like
you're "right there" as you listen to it. Violins, Violas, Cellos,
Mandolins, Autoharps, Percussion, Piano, Flutes, Trumpets, Saxophones...... ALL
acoustic instruments .... require a very special attention that can make or
break a recording session. We give it that special detail and attention so
that it sounds "LIVE" when it leaves our door.

Blues, Country and Blues-based Rock
We have a professionally designed commercial recording studio offering a 32' X 28' live room with
14' ceilings, vocal ISO booth, and a tuned/engineered control room, so we can
set up and record your band "live in the studio", capturing that magic
that occurs in any live performance, but especially in the world of Blues,
Country and Blues-based Rock music. We give you the opportunity be
creative and relaxed at the same time!
Pop
and Punk Rock
Much like the Blues-rock scene, there is an energy that
comes across in a "live studio" recording with Punk Rock, but Pop
music requires a lot of polish and detail! After capturing those
initial performance tracks -- whether for Pop or Punk -- we can go back in and add the special effects,
phrases, and licks that create that unique take you're looking for.
Plus,
we have a HUGE selection of vocal mics that let us match up singers perfectly,
allowing Pop singers -- male or female -- to find THAT vocal sound they're
seeking that will set them apart from the crowd!

Contemporary Christian and Gospel
Our live room is large enough for a grand piano, drums, and
organ, and a couple dozen people. To make it easy on you, we already have
a Wurlitzer Organ and a piano here, and the Steinway/Ballwin store is literally
three blocks away, if you need to rent a BIG piano! We can record a choir of singers or a
choir of hand bells. (We've done both).
If your flavor in
Contemporary Christian leans towards the "pop" feel, then read about
our "Rock" or "Pop" stuff above.

Heavy Metal and Hard Rock
Our live room is ideally suited for recording that "John
Bonham" drum sound. HUGE, round and powerful. With our ISO
room and ISO amp containers, we can record all of you, performing like you
were meant to, but with outstanding instrument and vocal isolation for an
exceptional mix.
