“A professional studio for everyone.”
At Backthird Audio, we believe that music is about people. Come here if you want a professional recording. Keep coming back if you want to be part of something bigger than yourself.
How are we professional?
• Our standards are higher than our ceilings are. We use pro-quality gear, a pro-quality space – and pro-quality people.
• We keep a calendar, take deposits on every session and confirm appointments in advance – just like your dentist does. Your recording session will be tons of fun – but it’s a professional appointment, not a casual get-together.
• Your projects are backed up nightly, in triplicate, so that a hard-drive failure will never destroy your work.
• Old sessions are archived to digital tape and kept indefinitely. Want to remix or re-record? Chances are, we’ll be able to recover your original multitrack sessions years from now.
How are we people-oriented?
• Our lounge and kitchen are yours to use, and we keep a quality selection of coffee and tea on the house. Because you may be here a while.
• We host monthly networking events and regular workshops for musicians. Because personal and musical growth don’t happen in a vacuum.
• If you’re a growing musician or sound engineer, you can hire us to help you hone your craft – in our Sound Foundations classes or at one of our Songwriter Showcases. If you’re a pro-level musician or engineer, we can hire you – to perform at Chicago-area events.
