We have 2 tiers of PA systems and sound engineers that we make available for hire:

Low-tech $30 equipment fee + $30/hr
High-tech $50 equipment fee + $60/hr

The equipment fee is a once per event charge to help keep our equipment in good repair.  The hourly fee pays for our engineers.  This charge will include the hours to set up, transport and tear down the gear.  This can often be minimized by using volunteers to help set up and tear down.

Low-tech will use our smaller mixer, simpler micing and monitoring set ups.  High-tech uses the bigger digital mixer, full micing, full monitoring.

Live Take Recording Services
Capture the vibrant energy of your music with our live recording sessions, perfect for:

  • Demos
  • Live albums
  • Audition recordings
  • Rare performances

 

Pricing:

Of course final pricing is going to vary with type of music, musicians, etc.  However $500 will get you a 12 hour day in which a full band could likely record and mix 6 songs.  A solo performer could likely get more songs recorded and mixed.

 

Equipment:

We have record via Behringer X32 onto PC with StudioOne DAW.  Currently our mic selection is Shure and Audix dynamics and a pair of AKG condensers.  Nothing fancy or vintage, however, we’re confident that good micing technique along with live recording and expert mixing will result in final tracks that you and your fans will love listening to.

Guess who’s coming back to town? That’s right Tommy Stinson of The Replacements, Guns and Roses, Bash and Pop, Soul Asylum, Cowboys in the Campfire and several lifetimes worth of putting the Punk in Rock. Join us Sunday February 23rd for an encore performance at Buxton’s thanks to our good buddies, local heroes and patron saints at AMP (Anacortes Music Project). Tommy’s bringing his pal Karla Rose along for the ride! The Valley’s own Luuk Honey will be live painting the evening’s festivities-This is Skagit music history in the making. Get your tix before they sell out so you can say you were there! GET TICKETS HERE!
