Studio Recording Services

We are geared towards recording acoustic music such as old-time, folk and bluegrass music onto a maximum of eight discrete channels. These 8-channels can then be mixed down using professional software (see digital mastering in the on-site recording page). We can record electrified instruments, such as keyboard, electric bass or guitar using a direct plug-in through our direct boxes. We have recorded semi-electric folk forms such as Zydeco extremely well, but prefer not to go beyond into full electronic forms of music such as rock n' Roll.

Costs

• We charge less than standard metropolitan commercial studios, which commonly cost anywhere from $100 - $150 per hour. We are also capable of full start-to-finish service. Contact rgamusic at bestweb.net, specify your needs and we will give an hourly price figure.

• We can work either "in studio" (located 30 miles north NYC) or On-Site.
