Mid-sized studios in Athens GA?

SeanFlora · Post by **SeanFlora** » Sat Mar 01, 2008 10:50 pm

I'll possibly be headed to Athens later this year to do a record with an Athens band.
Just doing some initial research to see if anyone knows some studios I should look into. Looking for something that might be about the size of Jackpot! (if you've seen that.) Tape is great, but a decent ProTools room is cool as long as there are good options for input signal chain. In Portland, the kind of room I'm looking for would be $200-$400/day.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Shoot David Barbe at Chase Park Transduction - http://chaseparktransduction.com/ - an email. David is a super nice guy and is really good about working with other studios in the area. If Chase Park doesn't meet your needs he can probably recommend a studio that does.

Damn, I love Chase Park enough that I'm disappointed I didn't post it first!

My band did our last record there; there's a good live room, all the equipment you'd need, good mics, pres, etc., totally tape-oriented but they have pro tools, too. There's also a small B-room if you want to do cheaper overdubs or something; I think the rates would be just what you want, though.

Most importantly, the vibe there is awesome: Super-comfortable, chill, kind of tucked-away, and David Barbe couldn't be a nicer, more helpful and creative guy. It felt like having a pro studio in your own house.

And second most important: Ping-pong action on the premises.

Thanks, I'll drop Dave a line.
The place looks top flight and I'll be delighted if it's in the artists' budget.
If not, anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks again everyone.

These are good leads, to be sure.

How about some others.

Maybe some a little more under the radar?

Thanks again, y'all!!

I'm not familiar with the area, but maybe you could let us know the band's budget to help others guide you.
