Sounds Like
Something you would like to hear. The way you would like to hear it. Dirty or clean. Hi-fi or lo-fi. Distorted or smooth. It can resonate. It can shake. It can pound. It can pump. It can bump. It can calm. It can sedate. It can make you smile. It can make you cry. Classically, modernly, retro, nu... this genre, that genre. Loud. Quiet. All the above. We do it all yall.
Back in the summer of 2002 I locked myself in a basement for six months and recorded my first album with Joe Stickley's Blue Print. Since then I've recorded over 60 bands and built a multi-room recording facility. My tools are what I feel to be the best combination of vintage and modern gear and instruments. I've got a handful of tube amps (Fender Twin, 1964 Ampeg Portaflex Fliptop, Epiphone Valve, Gibson Falcon, Randall MTS with Plexi and clean (Vox) modules, Orange, and other amps that sort of come and go depending on my mood), a couple of drum kits... a plate reverb (yes a real one 4 ft by 7ft), LA-2A and various outboard compressors, Demeter rack mounted Real spring reverb, stomp boxes, and a ton of other things that create or manipulate sound. Put some new strings on your guitar and some new heads on your drums cause that's half the battle. Vintage analog pres(API,Neve,John Hardy). Teac 2-track tape and Protools make it happen. I can handle up to 16 channels in at a time and 48 total. Listen to the tracks here to see if you're into my sounds. Come by and see the studio. Let's make a record so you can calm your neurosis and finally get some rest.
