I work completely freelance and am super flexible with recording locations or hybrid recording. I work out of Chicago Recording Company, Soundmine Studios, in any other studios in chicagoland, and location recording in concert halls, churches, and similar venues.

College of Lake County – I started a studio on campus for a class I teach. We have a small but decent mic locker, a drumset, bass, Fender Strat, Twin Reverb, and outboard gear. This is perfect for any singer-songwriter who is just getting started and may not have a fully developed budget.

Ridgeway Recording – This is the peak of a home studio setup. A lot of people call their setup “Home Studios”, but this is the real deal. API Console, Barefoot monitors, baby grand piano, a great selection of microphones that you may not be accustomed to seeing, and a rate that’s hard to beat. It’s a great place for any up and coming artist.

Shirk Studios – This is a perfect recording studio for rock bands. There’s just enough room for 4-5 musicians to be rigged up and play in the same room. There isn’t an hourly rate, it’s booked by the day – so the longer you need, the more you save.

Palisade Studios – Great, big, tall room. There have been some incredible records that have been recorded here. The price you pay for what you get is awesome, but everyone knows that – so it books fast!

Soundmine Studios – Medium-large sized recording studio on the South Side of Chicago. Great selection of microphones, gear, and cozy vibes. Two isolation rooms, large live room, and a control room with a Toft board.

PianoForte Studios – Small hall, with the best piano in Chicago. I usually bring my own gear here, great location for classical recording sessions. Rental time is very strict, be timely if you’re booking here.

Philharmonic Studios – State of the art recording studio, everything there is brand new and top notch. The facilities are unlike anything else in the Chicagoland area… But that means you have to pay the price unlike anything else in the Chicagoland area. This studio is really meant for large ensembles like Big Bands or Orchestras.
