The Cottage Sound Studio is an
artist workshop located in Middlebury, CT.
We offer pro audio recording and pre-production in a
unique setting with a creative atmosphere.
Our control room is a vintage, hundred year old cottage
that's been shored up and tuned around some fine outboard gear,
and our live room features eleven foot ceilings, drums, amps,
ISO-booths and a spinet.
We encourage bands to track live and we specialize in
the arrangement, instrumentation and production
of singer / songwriters and solo artists looking to
bring their songs to light.
Available service includes multi-track recording / mixing,
session players for vocals and a variety of instruments,
arrangement / production and complete CD packages.
We use an analog front end to hard disc
along with outboard gear by Avalon,
Daking, Empirical Labs, Manley,
Universal Audio and more.
Our focus is performance and ultimately, the song ...
like minded players, playing real instruments,
in real time, in a comfortable, artist friendly room.
It's a non-competitive, organic approach
that's obviously not right for everyone.
Please feel free to contact us with your needs and
ANY questions ... we're flexible and always glad to help.
