    So, you've completed the Writing Phase of your project and it's time to Record...

    A Smart Recording Plan...
    The Loft Production Team is focused on YOU -- Artists and Songwriters. We assist in planning AND executing a "Smart Recording Plan". Always keeping in mind:

  • YOUR CREATIVITY
  • YOUR Successful End-Product
  • YOUR Talents & Genius
  • & YOUR BUDGET

    Recording = "Art of Capturing"...
    Each project is different and requires the proper Gear & Technique. Below are some samples of the Types of Projects we encounter.

    Examples of some recent Recording Projects...

  • Live! CD+DVD Album ... logistics are essential. Lots of moving parts -- production, promotional concerns, quality-control... the Songscope Production Team and TheLoftLive! Venue Team combine forces.

  • CD Album: Singer-Songwriter ... usually 10-13 songs. Recording techniques, production planning, charting, licensing, hiring studio musicians, photo-design & packaging, promotion, providing guidence... a CD Album project is a daunting task. Our professional team is here to guide you through the process.

  • CD Demo: Songwriter ... usually 3-6 songs. Focuses on the lyrical content & melody. Quite often, minimal "production" allows Songwriting Genius and Vocal Talent to shine through.

  • "Recording Days" ... as Songwriters, we need to capture our Songs -- unfettered -- in a quality-rich environment. So, book the studio in one and two day blocks to lay your material tracked. Simple mic'ing techniques for Guitar or Grand Piano. Our Production Team can then help you assess your next step.
