We have a new lesson/recording studio located at 490A State Road 16 called "The Music Factory Studio". The new facility will be up and operating in January of 2009. Call 904-827-9739 for info.
Alright! The studio is done and open for business. All the construction is done. We now have a very "homey" studio with a front lobby, and a large recording room. We have a drum isolation booth, complete with Mapex Drums and Sabian Cymbals. We have a Tascam 24 track recorder, and a brand new Compaq high performance computer with editing, converter, and burning software. We are offically licensed for MP3 and MP3-PRO production. We have AKG Large diaphram and and array of small diaphram condenser microphones. We also have lots of out board equipment, including: ADA MP-1 Guitar tube pre-amp, BBE 482i Sonic Maximizer, Behringer compressor/noise gate, Tapco and Mackie sub-mixers, Digitech studio effects processor, a great 260 watt stereo monitor system, capability for up to 8 headphones, and much more. Our next aquisition will be an Antares Vocal Producer that has real-time pitch correction, (auto-tune!), harmony synth and vocal effects. We also have the new Light-Scribe CD's, so we can burn the album title and your picture right on the top of the CD! We can also supply full color CD layout artwork and small runs of production CD's.
To date, we have recorded and produced CD's for single acts, put together a band for a country singer/songwriter complete with Dobro and pedal steel, Christian Rap Artists, as well as producing our own new Live! CD which will be out soon.
UPDATE: I've completed producing an album for the St. Augustine band, US Station 4. You can check them out on their MySpace page, www.myspace.com/usstation4 . There are some of the songs I recorded and produced for them on the site. Also, I completed a demo disc for "Smoke & Mirrors" duet of Jay and our friend, Johnny Morrison, (from Johnny's Guitar shop next door to the studio).
We just aquired a second 24 track recorder! Now our capacity is 16 simultaneous recording tracks, 48 live tracks, a total of 392 virtual tracks, 160 GB of recorder hard disk space, and 400GB of computer wave editing space. WoW! Also, we just finished a 10 track Christmas song CD for Randy "Elvis" Walker. He's a genuine "Elvis" clone. He was in the St. Augustine Christmas parade. If you get a chance while he's in town, go see him!
