Know About
Blackbird Studios
The landscape of studio setups has
changed drastically since the days when
big-budget operations monopolized the
art of capturing sound. Big studios are still
at it, offering phenomenal spaces, world
class ears and expertise, digital and classic
analog technology, and sometimes incredible gear for guitarists, but the process of
recording before hitting the studio is even
more important now. In this month’s “ 5
You Should Know,” we take a look at some
recording setups in world-class studios, a
private facility that is open for select outside projects, a dreamland rehearsal studio
that will no doubt alter your M.O. for
recording, and the surprising emergence
of GarageBand on the Nashville scene.
