Stories from the studio.

Recording tips, production notes and stories from the sessions that shape the records we love.

Production

Inside a full production, from voice memo to master

We follow one song through every stage of the process: arrangement, tracking, editing, mixing and the final master.

Mixing

A few simple steps before you send your files will save hours in the studio and keep the mix focused on the music.

Recording

Every voice reacts differently to a microphone. Here is how we run a quick shootout at the start of each vocal session.

Live Tracking

Natural bleed, shared energy and fewer overdubs. Recording together often captures what a band really sounds like.

Mastering

Mastering brings a record together, but it works best when the mix already sounds the way you want it to feel.

Sound Design

How we use a small set of analog instruments to give a record its own texture and a consistent sonic identity.

Vocals

Rest, hydration and a clear plan for each take. Small habits that help singers deliver their best performance.
