Acoustic musicians know that nothing conveys the full energy and feeling of their work like live performance. Live recording can also be a very efficient and cost-effective way to acquire cuts for albums and demos.

Melville Park Studio will record your live performance direct to digital multi-track, bypassing the "house" board so that the tracks can be mixed in the studio. This is the way major label live albums are made.

Live recordings by Melville Park Studio appear on albums by Vance Gilbert, Lori McKenna, Jess Klein, Kerri Powers, Scott Alarik, Kevin So, Danielle Miraglia, Oen Kennedy and many others.

You own the recording, and can take it anywhere you want for mixing and editing. There's no obligation to use Melville Park Studio.

The cost is $50/hour, and includes travel, setup, sound check, packup, and the time we're actually recording. There is no charge for intermissions, other artist's sets, or other "down" time. A rough mix CD is included so that you can conveniently evaluate the performance.
