For the most part, recording music these days has gone back to Field recording. That can be good or bad, depending on the sound of the room, microphones, outboard gear and engineers.
Deep in the heart of the Pennsylvania Mountains is a small but effective studio on the shore of a beautiful lake. Tracking while looking at the sunset over the lake, or watching the wind blow snow across the frozen water, is a constant inspiration.
It's an enchanting environment to record music in.
The house provides many options in a warm setting. Its studio has the capability of recording both analog and digital. The analog set up consists of an 8 track 1/2 inch as well as a handful of analog keyboards (which include a Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer, mini moog and Upright Piano).
The digital setup is on Pro Tools. Outboard gear includes API mic pre's, Daking mic pre's, and compressors, EMT reverb plate, as well as a varied selection of microphones including Neumann and AKG.

People make recordings in their bedrooms and they don't sound that bad; some sound pretty good, actually. As long as the song is good and the performance is inspired it's gonna reach people.
