About Anchor
OUR STORY:
Here's our story - our background - and why using our studio for your next session makes so much sense.
We're an open-minded studio that's been in business since 2004. We've been around for a while because we treat every client like they're our most important client! Instead of only recording music of a specific genre, we have and will gladly record any type of music there is - some of the engineers here even specialize in certain genres.
Our philosophy is to always respect the art of music - the music you create - and to understand your personal style and musical ideas. We merge our vast recording experience with your ideas and suggestions to guide you in creating a truly great recording. We focus on all the big and little details of the recording - keeping in mind what your vision is - bringing it to life.
Not only do we know the recording arts inside and out like professionals should, but we handle our business as you would expect a professional to. We are reliable and upfront - our business goal is to be nothing less than the studio that exceeds your expectations. We care about your project no matter who you are or what your project is. We're always clear about our services and prices so you never get cheated or have to worry about your project.
Furthermore we know how important it is for us to be good at engineering and producing because that's a lot more important than just having a good looking studio with a ton of fancy gear. We started from the ground up as engineers, initially starting with very little to work with as a small project studio in 2004. Since then we have trained in our craft and honed our skills, and added that fancy gear along the way. But most importantly we know what we're doing from our vast experience and educational background. This is more important than any mic, mixer, amp or otherwise.
Many of you are concerned with equipment and gear, and are curious about what we have. We've chosen not to have a gear list on our site because it is just too difficult to maintain on a website, however we will gladly send you this information if requested... or just come into the studio and see the gear firsthand.
We have done our own research and experimentation to find the best-of-the-best in equipment and technology allowing us to offer truly professional results and great prices. Let us assure you that our gear list would look similar to many other top studios in America (including ones charging more). We have all the basic software abilities that musicians have come to expect from studios including pitch-correction, drum replacement, mastering, sequencing and so on. On top of that, with our new facility that we built from the ground-up, we've really been able to create an environment that is perfectly suited to all types of audio needs. We're very proud of our new studio and think you'll be assured as soon as you step in the door.
SERVICES:
People frequently inquire if "we can handle their project need." The answer is "YES" 99% of the time. There is very little in the world of audio and recording that we can't do, and do well. Whatever your genre is, we can do it. Are you recording commercials or doing voiceover work - we can do it. Are you looking to have your home recordings mixed or mastered - we'll make your songs dazzle unlike you would have never imagined. Are you wanting to do a live recording? Our rooms and gear are perfect for this! Yes, yes, yes... whatever it is, we can do it.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING:
One last and very important thing we want to point out is our pricing strategy, and why we have attempted to keep our rates almost below reasonable. What we know from doing as many sessions as we have (well over 15,000 hours of them), is that the most important factor in making a great sounding recording is time. It takes time to get instruments sounding their best, it takes time to get the best takes, it takes time to record layers, make edits, mix and master... and this is exactly why we have low rates for bulk sessions.
We understand that most musicians are struggling to come up with the cash to record, but we hope you take the time necessary to make your recordings sound ideal. We've done the math, and our prices really are as low as they possibly could be without forcing us to shut down. This equals BIG SAVING to artists like you. It takes time to make great recordings, and there really is no escaping it or replacing it - no matter who's making the recording or what gear you have. This might be the best selling point we have here: Affordability for more session time. Please take advantage of our discounts for bulk time. That is exactly why they are there - to allow you to make the recordings you've always wanted to make.
