Located
in the serene surroundings of the preserve is a log cabin filled with everything
needed for the inspiration and completion of
your next musical project. The sound in a log cabin is unique. The round log wall combined with the high ceilings gives an
ambience that can only be
attained in this unique environment. The drums sound rich and full.
The piano sings with excitement when played. Guitars, wind instruments,
even vocals take on a new life in these unique surroundings.
Studio Tour
The piano is a Yamaha G9 and is the centerpiece of the studio. Instead of being locked in a soundproof room , the sound is allowed to breathe and expand. For the benefit of the player there are windows to look out and air to breathe to add to the inspiration while playing. "One of the best sounding pianos I have played" Jeff Franzell while recording sessions with the Navigators.
There is a separate sound room for special applications. If separation is needed for vocals, wind instruments or even a full drum kit we can fit them comfortably in their own private area.
Our Recording is done on a Mac G9 using Steinberg software. We have found CuBase to be superior to Pro-tools because the system is non-proprietary, allowing us options in our recording environment. We can work with files from most software manufacturers whether they be Aiff or Wav.
The Soundboard is a Ghost by Soundcraft. We use this because of the warmth of the preamps and the pathing options available. A great headphone mix is sometimes the difference between a great and just OK performance.
A set of Pearl Drums, Fender P-bass and a Jazz bass,
Hammond organ, Congas, percussion instruments and guitar amps round out
the studio. Ovations, Gibsons, Stratocasters, even Banjos
can be found hanging around on the walls of the studio. We try to
fill whatever need is possible. With enough lead time we can set
up the studio for any type of recording.
