This is everything!

James Ford, who has been working with Arctic Monkeys since 2007, has given insight into his production process, and most importantly why he resists the urge to over-tweak.

What studio would be complete without an espresso/cappuccino/latte machine in the control room? And if all this modern over-editing and computerized music isn’t your style, then just bring your guitar, your fx pedals, get caffeinated, and read the mug… We’ll rock it out old school until the take feels right! It’s what we excel at!

Just wanted to share that if you’re looking for remote professional recording, mixing, or mastering services, or a nice vocal or guitar added to a song, done on top notch equipment by yours truly, check me out on Airgigs.com! I’m happy to give your music project a professional touch and polish, and you don’t even have to come all the way to Nashville!

This MASSIVE amp just got a MASSIVE upgrade! Just kidding, it’s a little itty bitty Vox Mini Superbeetle. But don’t be fooled! With this upgrade to a Weber Silver Bell speaker from the stock Vox, this little amp cranks 25 watts of vintage Vox sounding sweetness! I am blown away by the difference this speaker makes. Get a Weber!

We’re very excited to host the first of many shows at our new spot! Catch the live stream at 6pm Sunday evening at https://youtu.be/RVMyk8dV3UY

Tasty vocal harmonies with on the Flea 47 and me backing her up on the Stam 47! It’s amazing how different they sound even though they both sound like a U47!

05/06/2022

70s songs on 70s HiFi speakers… Come to Black Dog Recording and experience a time warp!

It’s amazing how speakers can restore emotional energy to music you might be jaded from after decades of listening!

Great guitar and vocal overdub session with He’s got some killer music coming!

11/20/2021

Great overdub session for yesterday. Trying out our new studio workflow with everyone in the control room and the amps being recorded in the live room. Sounded killer!

Thanks for handling 99% of the engineering and producing duties while I’m waiting for my broken toe to heal!

11/10/2021

Silly me…. I went and shattered my toe bone this morning! Guess I’m out of commission from pilot-ing for 4-6 weeks… So, I’m throwing out a November SPECIAL at Black Dog Recording while I’m off my feet! Dan and I will be recording your single, EP, album, or just hourly time in the studio for 30% off of our listed website prices! Limited time!

Dan and I took on the challenge of building our own massive movable gobos! One down, two to go! (One will have a window too!).

This is the fun part they tell me! Wiring up the studio…

The FINAL final stretch of putting the studio together!!! Welcome the beautiful Neve Genesys recording console to our new control room! Some acoustic treatment still to go!

09/29/2021

Are you ready to come record your record with good vibes at the new Black Dog Recording?!

09/20/2021

The final pre-opening photo… I think!

Just gotta add acoustic treatment, bring in the equipment and furniture, and we’re ready to rock at Black Dog Recording!

FINAL STRETCH!

Framing for the acoustically isolating “party walls,” storage closet, and bathroom! More to come soon!

07/22/2021

Revisiting an old mix from Zach Cornell on our new, instantly recallable, automatable, and euphonic sounding Neve Genesys! Can’t wait to get this out of the spare bedroom and into the studio! I’ve been dreaming about this recording console for 7 years and finally came across a used one in perfect shape, ready to make some AMAZING records at our new place!!!

It pairs AMAZINGLY with Wesaudio’s recallable compressors and eq’s. We will be one of the few studios in Nashville with rapid recall of your analog mix… and mixed on the Rolls Royce of recording consoles, a Neve!

For the audio nerds, 16 classic 1073 preamps, 8 88RS EQs and 8 VCA compressors built in and all totally instantly recallable!

07/20/2021

Demolition is the fun part!

Thanks Armstrong Construction for helping us build the new Black Dog Recording for our new location! Check them out at armstrongconstructiontn.com

Recording, rehearsing, filming, ADR and voice-over, mixing, mastering, production from demos to full length albums and artist consulting. We’ll be doing it all!

We’ll keep updating about our build progress! You’re going to want to record here! 😁

“You say goodbye, and I say hello.”

Thank you all so much for being a part of making Black Dog Recording such a creative home in East Nashville! It’s sad to look at this picture and realize we will never be in the space again, but there is a bright dawn ahead of us! Black Dog Recording is moving south… again…. Have no fear Nashville, we’re not going far this time! We found a beautiful new property in “Brentioch” (Antioch, right next to Brentwood), and when we get our new studio built, it’s going to be an amazing creative getaway, without even leaving our city!

So without further ado, say goodbye to the photo of our old space, and join my tour of what we are working on!.

Check out Zach’s tunes! Proud to have recorded and mixed these with the help of Dan Davis! Great guy and great musical style!

It's been a while since my interview with Zach and I couldn't be more excited to get this bad boy out to the world. A diamond in the rough, Zach Cornell brings Country Music lovers that traditional sound intertwined with blood, sweat and tears. A guy who works his ass off and has a passion for music...

A little mastering today.
