General info:
The
recording space is located in the basement of my home. Remember, this
is not a commercial studio. It is technically "by invitation only".
Please
do not bring anyone else to the studio besides band members. (Some
exceptions can be made.... bringing beer always helps). Keep in mind
it's a basement studio, not a giant rehearsal room...
BE
PRACTICED AND PREPARED. Do not finish writing material at the studio,
unless you are ok with paying for the extra time. Know your shit.
Show up on time. The day starts at the agreed upon start time.
No loud drums and guitars past 9pm.
You
are welcome to use any equipment in the studio..... there is a full
5-piece PDP drum kit with Zildjian and Sabian cymbals and a Yamaha double kick pedal, GK bass head and cabs,
Randall 4x12 guitar cab loaded with Eminence Governor and Eminence
Legend speakers, Carvin MTS-3200 tube amp head, and a restored Peavey Encore 65 tube amp head.
