Recording
Searching for a recording studio near me in Bellingham? This music recording studio handles solo sessions, full bands, vocals, and acoustic instruments with professional mics and quality gear.
Solo Sessions
Vocal tracking, acoustic guitar, keys, and more.
Includes comping, editing, and rough mixes to take home.
$50 / hour
Band Sessions
Full band tracking is possible, though recording all
members simultaneously is limited by the room size. We can track
instruments individually or in small groups. Drums need to be
tracked elsewhere or scheduled for a weekend to keep the neighbors happy.
$50 / hour
What to Bring
- Your song, rehearsed and ready to track
- Reference tracks if you have a specific sound in mind
- Your own instrument if you prefer (guitars, pedals, etc.)
What's Included
Every recording session includes comping, basic editing, and a rough mix to take home. If you're also booking mixing, the raw tracks move straight into that phase.
