Melville Park Studio

Acoustic Recording in Boston Since 1986

You know how comfortable and relaxed you feel playing music in your living room? That’s how I want you to feel at Melville Park Studio.

I have two soundproof tracking rooms, high quality microphones, tube and solid state preamps and processors, ProTools software, and classic monitors.

I also have flexible, economical booking policies, including hourly, block and day rates. No deposits are required, and there’s no minimum charge.

And it’s all designed so that it’s easy for you to make great sounding recordings.

MY thing is to make it easy for you to do YOUR thing.

Home Recordists Welcome!

Melville Park provides a cost-effective, professional alternative to studios that are more than you may need, and the do-it-yourself approach with its less than ideal environment.

Recording at home often means working around noise, poor acoustics, and other people’s schedules. At Melville Park you can record any time, day or night. And there’s no problem booking short sessions, or sessions on short notice. So even if you only need to lay down a vocal, an overdub, or do a few edits or fixes, you’re still welcome.
