Roadside Recording Studio

Roadside Recording Studio is a 640 square ft open concept recording space located on the third floor of an 1860's farmhouse in beautiful Danville, Vermont.

Roadside Recording Studio is a 640 square foot open concept recording space located on the third floor of an 1806 farmhouse in beautiful Danville, Vermont; a part of the state's rural Northeast Kingdom region. Roadside was officially started in 1996 by Ryan Dauphin in his parents' basement. The early days consisted of a 4-track tape machine and then a move to digital based recording in the late '9

0s. Our current studio set up centers around a British-era Midas Venice 320 analog console going into modified vintage transformer-based Altec Lansing preamps with Burr Brown operational amps. From the preamps, the signal flows through (2) 8 channel Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 interfaces into an Apple iMac (with 16 gigs of ram & a 1 TB hard drive). Our collection of modern and vintage outboard gear includes preamps from Universal Audio, Groove Tubes and Applied Research and Technology, and vintage Shure; Compressors by Empirical Labs (Distressor), Shure (vintage SE-30- Level Loc), FMR Audio (RNC), vintage Ashly (SC-50); Ashly PQ66 Parametric EQ and more! We are currently tracking within Logic Studio 9, a very professional multi-tracking and composing platform. Plug-ins include programs from Apple, Waves, Slate Digital, Izotope, Soundtoys, Focusrite and Toontrack. We are monitoring through Adam A7's nearfield monitors with an iKey-Audio sub woofer (primary), with 2nd reference through Behringer Truth B2030A's. Our headphone collection includes: Beyerdynamic DT880, AKG K240 (x3), AKG K271, and Vic Firth isolation headphones from drum tracking (x2). Our microphone collection includes mics from Mojave, Coles, AEA, Shure, Blue, Rode, EV, Cascade, AKG, Steanes, DBX, a homemade subkick and more. Are you a home recording engineer?

We had a blast converting this vintage suitcase into a 1X12 cabinet with a 25 watt UK Celestion Greenback! A few progress pics and video with our Morgan RCA 35 cranked up in the last slide. More of these to come!

Session overdubs with our glorious 1954 Gibson GA-5 Les Paul Jr amp, Fender ‘63 reissue Reverb tank, and Squier “American transition” Jazzmaster. TONE!

A couple months ago we acquired this early ‘90s 12 channel Ramsa WR-8112 sidecar (right) to work alongside our trusty Midas Venice 320 primary mixer. The Midas is clear & punchy, and the Ramsa is a dirty bird with vibe for days. Can’t wait to start pushing tracks into the red with this little beast!!

In a separate creative endeavor, this is the first significant drawing I have made in 23 years to pay tribute to the one year passing of beloved Stella. We miss her every day.

I was going through the archives this morning and found this setlist from the first time I saw at on 8/24/18. I was thrilled that one of the techs handed me a setlist with guitar changes next to the songs. A gear head’s dream! Note the Lynyrd Skynyrd cover to end the show. Ed King had just passed away 2 days prior.

I bought this autographed sheet music of Kris Kristofferson four days before he passed away. Not sure if that is a sign, but any sort of mojo the man can bring is welcomed. A fantastic songwriter and of course a quarter of the Highwaymen. Rest in peace to a legend.

New to the Roadside roster is this fantastic Dillion Phoenix in 3 tone Sunburst pearl! A well-made, versatile and heavy instrument. Being able to blend in the middle pick up in any position makes this the Swiss Army knife of Firebird-style tones. Look for a future video post.

We’ve had the good fortune of seeing the great twice this year, once in the spring in VT and once this fall at in NY at . We’ve been a fan for the better part of a decade, and what a thrill this fantastic singer/songwriter/performer two times on this tour 🎶🎵

Well, we did it again with Bruce. My 8th time seeing him. I went with my good friend Tony on his 53rd birthday and we had one for the ages. This is a short clip of Atlantic City, a song that I love and had never heard live. He doesn’t pull it out often and it hit hard. The sheer power when the band kicks in is undeniable. The man is 73 years old and he & the E Street Band blew the roof off, 80,000 people strong. I’m positive that this is the greatest show of his I’ve ever seen and the company could not have been better. We even hit up a bad ass guitar shop in Manchester on the way. What a day! 🤘🎶🎵

Happy release day to Tyler Griffin, aka Bim Tyler! Burning Haystacks is the first song released from a forthcoming EP. In January 2022 we recorded a four song EP here Roadside Recording Studio. All the rhythm tracks were captured live in the room in one or two takes with this fantastic band. We then proceeded to overdub for about the next year+, layering different parts and elements to really bring these songs to their fullest potential. The approach was always to keep it as organic-sounding as possible and I think we captured that. I’m very proud of the work we did and I absolutely love this song. I hope you do too! Long live local music!
