Remember the days where music sounded warm and inviting and you used the knob
on your stereo to make stuff louder? Thats what Old-FI is about; cool vibe and good
dynamic range. Masters that aren't pushed into distortion because modern users are
too lazy to turn up that volume control........ This idea may not be a universally popular
one, but it is a valid choice for people who strive for something different.

This recording service is aimed at indie-rock, folk, punk, noise, garage
and experimentally minded bands and individuals. This gear is semi-portable
and can be setup in any secure location locally. Old-FI is part of my
Guerilla approach to audio. Great audio and great feel can happen
outside of a proper recording studio. Bands dig the comfort of their
rehearsal spaces and living rooms and there's no reason not to experience
recording in these spaces with their unique ambiences and character.

If you prefer a "proper" studio experience and highly polished and hyper produced recordings,
please refer to the "live/studio" section above on the sidebar for studio rates and availibility.
