WTD: affordable midwestern studio w/2" 24 & good ro

[scatrecords]

I'm looking for an analog-friendly studio within a 400 mile radius of St. Louis, Missouri for rock band Prisonshake to track & dub 4 songs in October. Non-ass pain, older guys who've been around the block a few times.

Musts: record to tape, ideally 2" 24tr (16 ok too), good live room, sense of humor.
Would be nice: piano that's in tune, cool guitars/amps/mics, good price
Nos: Pro Tools as mixing board, cheapo analog mixing boards, digital processing and/or recording

I'm not a Luddite, but as the final results will be issued on LP as well as CD, the goal is a true AAA master...otherwise there's no point in releasing it on vinyl.

thanks! Your recommendations appreciated.

If Chicago is in your range check out my studio. We have all of your must's and most of your would be nice's (our piano is digital, but still a fancy one)... plus you get to track it on an ssl.


If you have any questions drop me an email.

Echo Park in Bloomington Indiana is a cool place. I haven't been there in 5 years or so, but they have a nice old API, good rooms are talented and learned their shit long before Pro Tools came about. I don't have a number, but it shouldn't be hard to find.

Check us out. 2 rooms with 2" and Protools in each.

If you are willing to come out to chicago, there are many a room to visit running all analog for more then resonable rates. I have gotten clients some really nice spaces for much less then they should have been paying.
