Audio Recording
Studio
The Music Room
is dedicated to helping local performers create
professional sounding recordings at an affordable price.
Our staff is comprised of cash strapped musicians like
you. We know the price tag associated with large studios
is prohibitive for most amateur artists. Our Recording
Studio was created so independent artists could have
greater access to a studio environment.

Studio
Recording
Our
goal is to make using our studio affordable for
everyone. With that in mind, we've setup a simple
studio pricing structure of $36 per hour (typical
songs take 3-8 hours, depending on the number of
tracks, overdubs, edits, etc). Visit
our SoundCloud Page to hear a sampling of our
studio recordings.
Here
are the steps in our studio process:
- *Studio
time to record all the tracks needed for your song
under the direction of a Recording Engineer. We
typically record 2 or more takes for each key
instrument and vocal.
- Perform
simple edits and cross-fades to clean up errors in
your performance.
- Mix your
tracks, including Relative Volume, Pan,
Equalization, Compression, Delay/Reverb, etc.
- Output
tracks to a Stereo Master. Send an MP3 draft
version of the song to you.
- *You
review the song and send us back comments and
changes you'd like, if any. This step can be done
together if requested.
- Re-mix
then Master based on your comments.
- Final
MP3 and WAV versions of the song are sent to you.
We can provide a CD of the song if requested.
Note
- The steps with an * you are involved with. We
independently perform all the other steps. The entire
process typically takes 1-2 weeks.
If
you are not familiar with a typical studio recording
process, here is a nice overview:
Live Performance
Recording
If you perform a
Live In-Studio set at The Music Room, we can make a
multi-track recording of your performance. We mix this
in the studio at a later date, then provide you MP3's
(and a CD if requested) of your songs. Pricing for this
service is $150 per 45 minute set and includes a
complimentary video of your performance. Visit
our SoundCloud Page to hear a sampling of our
live recordings and our
Facebook Page to see a sampling of Videos.
