Recording Studio

MULTI-TRACK DIGITAL RECORDING

At JCB Music, you will enjoy a small but mighty studio in which to record your music. Particularly well suited for singer-songwriters and Hip-Hop artists, the space itself is comfortable, cozy and laid-back, perfect in which to relax and create.

GET IN TOUCH

Bring in your beats and track all your vocals with clear, exceptional sounding microphones. Take advantage of plug-ins like autotune, and hear 24 tracks of pristine 24-bit digital quality. 1965

If your project needs to be built from the ground up, starting with a click track and guitar for example, and then overdubbing as many tracks of instrumentation as needed, we can draw on hundreds of virtual instruments powered by Native Instruments Komplete 10 software. The sonic quality of these patches is so like the actual instrument that you’ll have trouble telling the difference. Add Roland effects, mixing, editing, mastering, and CD burning and you have a full-service recording studio… and all this for $40/hr.

Production

I am an engineer/producer who has spent many years and thousands of hours honing my craft. As a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, I can draw on these skills when recording your music. I’ll work with you in discovering, developing, and producing the fullest expression of your songs. Sometimes all that you need from me is a capable engineer behind the console; other projects might require a producer who can take a song idea and turn it into a fully realized piece of music. I can do both.

At the heart of my studio is the Roland VS-2480 Digital Audio Workstation.

It has fully automated mixing (where the faders are programmed to move themselves during mix down); a wide variety of all major effects (reverb, delay, compression, chorus, distortion, flanger, phaser, echo, and many many more); full editing (like cutting, pasting, inserting), which means you can sing one chorus perfectly and then clone it into all the choruses if you like; and many mastering toolkits that can help your mix achieve commercial/ broadcast quality.

Sometimes magic happens effortlessly in the studio, other times it takes perseverance.

Either way, I’ll work until it sounds good to you, and I’ll do it within your budget. That’s why they call me the ‘Can Do’ man.
