"Route of The Relaxed Recording Artist"

The Lantern Sound Recording Rig is a private historical farmhouse recording studio in a nature preserve, offering hourly/daily rates. Located in a 100-year old farmhouse, the facility takes up 8 rooms, 3 floors. There is a 32 input console, and a full compliment of backline/instrumets/gear, microphones,

outboard preamps and processing. Our top specialty is our ability to safely record music made by groups of people performing together at the same time, in the same space. That's THE best way to get the "magic take" that preserves the human element that is so important in recorded music, and with commercial recording studios going out of business, and people cramming their home recording setups into very small spaces, that's not so easy these days. We can do that courtesy of a simple & clean signal path philosophy that spreads across three floors of various rooms, chambers and isolation closets, and we use them all. A core Apple Logic® recording DAW, paired up with a 32-input Allen & Heath console, is fed by a full variety of microphones and mic preamps, vintage drums/amps/instruments, and a 1929 Hazelton Brothers (NYC) baby grand piano. Headphone mixes, sculpted in the analog world on the mixing console, go through the entire house. Quick setups, nice comforts, pleasant people, and fantastic vibes are our trademarks. The LSRR is located less than five minutes from the Hampton Jitney, the Long Island Railroad, and the Long Island Expressway in the Eastern Pine Barrens of LI, NY. It's a super-comfortable secret clubhouse in the woods where music is made, and we think you'll like it here.

For happy hour Friday yesterday, we took the first sneak-peek photo from the new Lantern Sound Recording Rig location here in VT.

Still 16 inputs into Logic Pro X, still a bunch of outboard mic preamps.

Now, monitoring with Genelec, Avantone, Equator, and KRK are all in one place, great for mixing. Stoked.

Outboard keyboard sounds & synths go through a sub-mixer before getting routed into the Allen & Heath console monitoring environment, where all inputs are available for monitoring. I don't record through the console mic preamps except for Talkback, or if I need a fast scratch track/DI thing on the spot.

This goes right to work. I need to cut additional vocals for a song that goes to Paradiddle Records as part of a Warren Zevon tribute release, and I've gotta mix it too. Josh LeClerc and Chris Mehos join me on that one. It will be quite different than Warren's version.

Getting the new location up and running here has been in the works... well, since we shut down operations at the old place on February 1st 2025.

Today is a big day at the new joint, though. It's finally presentable.

Keep an eye out for the "Recording Studio Storage Space Sale" coming up. There's stuff. Back near the old place.

Cheers

Busy day so far. First, we delivered a final premaster for the song Bryan Gallo is contributing to the forthcoming homage to Warren Zevon on Paradiddle Records . I got to play organ on that one. They'll tell ya the rest of the info! :)

Now, final master output of the song "Devils & Angels" by Shawn Barron . Release deets on that soon, too. Additional players on that one are Moritz Mark Pohl Mick Hargreaves and Matthew Woodburn .

PS - Try the Foster Grant microphones. They aren't transparent, but they're polarized, and they throw shade.
