2023 projects from Acadia!

12/28/2023

Just a few days left in 2023, so unless someone wants to get cheeky and release a record we worked on this week, we thought we'd share some of the music that came out of Acadia this year. 2023 was quite a year for Maine music, and, as always, we are so happy and honored to get to work with the caliber of musicians who trust us with their projects. Thank you all, we love making music with you!

As we near the end of 2023, we wanted to take a beat to celebrate some of the fantastic projects we’ve helped record and mix over this past year. 2023 was a big year for Acadia: we purchased and installed a 32 channel SSL Origin console (see part 1 and part 2 in more detail here), we added some

For those of you who have been waiting with bated breath for part TWO of the SSL console install, happy reading :)

In a previous post we told the story of purchasing our new Solid State Logic ORIGIN 32 console. Now we’d like to share details of installing the console and the many additional major studio upgrades that came with it.

The SSL Origin has been happily housed at Acadia for several months, but here's some of the backstory of how we got it to the studio :)

Acadia engineer Jason Phelps recalls - “As a young musician and aspiring gear-head, I clearly remember seeing an ad for the then newly released SSL 4000G series console. It was an awe-inspiring thing of beauty, impossibly far out of reach. From that moment it was my dream to even just be in the ro...

We've rolled out our new website with some more detailed information about some of the equipment we use to make you all sound great. Check out this post about our workhorse preamps here >>

Matching the right microphone with the right preamp is the key to getting that energy to translate to the finished product. If microphones are the paintbrushes then preamps are the colors - some are bold and impart a strong imprint on the sound, others are light and transparent. We have been lucky t

Well, this is our new mix room world, can’t wait to make even better sounds 😎

Hi guys! Love that indie musician-do-literally-everything-yourself life where you accidentally mix up when your EP is coming out and think it's a week later than you actually scheduled it... all this to say, I was pleasantly surprised to see "Where the Mountains Meet The Sea" in my Spotify at midnight and it's OUT! I am so proud of this EP and everyone who worked so hard to help me create it. Please check it out wherever you get your music and share it.

Release day always makes me feel so blue as I toss the songs out over the edge of the abyss... help me make it a good one by giving it a spin and telling me what you think!

Bill Barnes: electric guitar on Neowise and Monhegan
Robin Lane: cello on Renascence
Duane Edwards: bass on Renascence and Neowise
Dan Boyden: drums on Renascence and Neowise
Rhythm Tracks for Renascence and Neowise recorded by Todd Hutchinson at Acadia Recording in Portland, ME

Special thanks to Ilan Natter for aiding in the mixing (and teaching me to do it myself!)
Thank you to Joel Thome for telling me to stop being such a perfectionist and put the darn thing out!
Thank you to my parents, Barrett, and Yaya for always supporting, encouraging, and loving me as I worked through these and so many other songs.
Thank you to my Patreon Patrons for financing this project.
And thank you to my love and muse, Andrew.

Cover art by me :)
