Studio Recording

Our studio features our Yamaha C6 piano, a 7-foot grand with an excellent reputation. We have condenser, ribbon and dynamic microphones from Neumann, AEA, AKG, Beyer and Shure along with tube and solid-state pre-amplifiers.

The studio includes 3 isolation rooms in addition to the main room. We also have a Hammond organ, on permanent loan from our friend Ben Sidran. Our modular headphone system lets each musician create their own monitor mix during recording.

We use Pro Tools HD which we keep up-to-date with the latest upgrades, and we have a large variety of plug-ins, including the WAVES platinum bundle. Our studio has provided a creative environment for clients ranging from high school students auditioning for colleges or summer music programs, to the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Richard Davis and the Pro Arte Quartet, to our non-musical clients such as the Onion Radio News and the Progressive Magazine.

"The staff at Audio for the Art knows just how to record acoustic instruments and the untreated human voice. It must be gratifying for the
musicians to know that there's a local facility they can rely on to show as much sympathy to their creations as they do to each other."
