EXTRA GOLD AUDIO
RECORDING STUDIO BASED IN NORTH OLMSTED, OH
ANALOG RECORDING
EVERYTHING IN MY STUDIO RUNS THROUGH MY RAMSA WR-T820. FROM THERE I CAN RUN AUDIO INTO MY TASCAM MS-16 REEL TO REEL RECORDER OR THROUGH MY DIGITAL INTERFACE. THE TASCAM MS-16 IS A 1" 16 TRACK REEL TO REEL RECORDER. WITH 16 TRACKS WE CAN EITHER MULTITRACK YOUR PROJECT OR YOUR BAND CAN PERFORM ALTOGETHER LIVE. A DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED IN ADVANCE TO ORDER TAPE FOR YOUR SESSION.
DIGITAL RECORDING
ALL MICS AND INSTRUMENTS ARE INITIALLY RAN THROUGH THE RAMSA CONSOLE. I HAVE 2 DIGITAL INTERFACES CONNECTED VIA ADAT WHICH I RUN TO MY DAW OF CHOICE, LOGIC PRO X. ONE IS A PRESONUS 1824C AND THE OTHER IS A FOCUSRITE LIQUID SAFFIRE 56. THIS OFFERS 16 TRACKS IN TOTAL. WHETHER YOU BRING A VERY LARGE DRUM KIT THAT REQUIRES MULTIPLE MICROPHONES OR IF YOU WOULD RATHER YOUR BAND RECORDS TOGETHER LIVE, I HAVE YOU COVERED!
MIXING AND MASTERING
WHETHER WE RECORD YOUR PROJECT ANALOG OR DIGITAL, I CAN MIX AND MASTER YOUR PROJECT. I HAVE A WIDE VARIETY OF PLUG INS, HARDWARE, AND EFFECTS PEDALS AVAILABLE TO MAKE YOUR PROJECT SOUND GREAT.
MICROPHONES
CURRENTLY, MY "GO TO" MICROPHONES ARE MY SHURE SM7B, ELECTRO VOICE RE320, A HANDFUL OF SHURE SM57S AND A PAIR OF SAMSON C02'S. I HAVE OTHER MICROPHONES AVAILABLE AND I'M ALWAYS ADDING MORE TO MY COLLECTION, BUT THESE ARE THE ONES I REACH FOR THE MOST.
ABOUT EXTRA GOLD AUDIO AND MYSELF:
MY NAME IS MATT AND I'VE BEEN RECORDING FOR ROUGHLY 15 YEARS. I STARTED RECORDING MY BANDS AND MY FRIEND'S BANDS ON A 4 TRACK CASSETTE RECORDER THAT MY FRIENDS AND I FOUND AT A GARAGE SALE. FROM THERE I HAVE GROWN AS BOTH A MUSICIAN AND AUDIO ENGINEER, GAINING MORE EXPERIENCE AND BETTER EQUIPMENT. IN 2017, I ATTENDED A RECORDING MASTER CLASS AT SWEETWATER WHERE I IMPROVED ON THE BASIC SKILLS I HAD DEVELOPED ON MY OWN. IN 2022, I WAS LAID OFF FROM MY FULL TIME JOB AND DECIDED TO PURSUE MY DREAM OF RECORDING FULL TIME. OUTSIDE OF MUSIC, MY WIFE AND I HAVE 2 KIDS AND 2 DOGS THAT WE LOVE TO TAKE CAMPING.
