Are you in a band looking for more visibility? Do you want something you can hand to people looking for your talent? Do you need an audition CD, fast? Are you looking to record your next CD? Tired with the “same old studio” sound? A professionally-recorded CD, engineered by Greg Albing at Laser Bay Studios is the best way to make your music come alive, get noticed, and get your name out there. Your CD is the doorway into gigs, and quality is the key. The difference between a so-so recording and a great recording is the difference between not getting noticed and being booked every night. That's why I'm offering you a pro-quality recording for garage-band prices! This year, cut a CD that you can truly be proud of. *An experienced recording engineer - comes at the recommendation of one of the area's most visible engineers *An accomplished musician - a recording engineer with a good ear is the only way to get a musical album *Editing, mixing, and mastering - sound as good (or better) than you've ever sounded live; you'll be surprised at what kind of magic can go on in the editing process *The recording studio at Concordia College in Moorhead, MN - state-of-the-art equipment and tens-of-thousands of dollars worth of mics, pres, and sound processors, plus several high-quality recording venues. Other studios charge $50/hour for studio work. * It can take four hours to set up, do sound checks, get a couple good takes, and do any overdubbing - $200/song * Editing each song can take two hours - $100/song * Mixing and mastering can take another three hours per song - $150/song For a CD of 4 tracks, that's $1800! What kind of band can afford that if they aren't already rolling in dough? I offer the same services for a fraction of that price, depending on the size of the group, the number of tracks on the CD, how much post-production work you want done on it, and whether or not you want us to handle any part of the design, replication, printing, or packaging of the final project. I guarantee it'll take a heck of a project to even approach the “pro” studio's $1800 fee! Do you want audio reinforcement or recording for a live show? We do that, too! Send us an email and we'll figure out a rate that you'll be glad about. The price may be more or less depending on the distance from the gig and how much gear is involved, but our standards are always the highest and you'll leave the gig amazed and how easily the night went and how professional the recording sounds. Under various capacities, the engineers at Laser Bay Studios have worked with... * Post Traumatic Funk Syndrome * The Escape Artists * Captain Hootenanny and the Miserable Stepchildren * Red River Jazz Combo * Concordia Campus Sound Email me at gregalbing <at> g mail <dot> com or call me at 651-239-8202. I look forward to working with you soon! "Greg's a creative guy who's willing to work with people to get the results they want. Also, he's cheap." -Andy Campbell President and Producer - Concordia's Beat (2007-9) "Greg is one of the most organized and honest guys I've ever worked with." -Russell Peterson Professor, Composer, and Recording Engineer "He was very easy to work with, and set up the equipment perfectly in an area that was rather unfriendly for a recording situation. He had a great ear and was able to make all of the mistakes that we made sound awesome! At the time we were recording with Greg, my band was in a professional studio recording an album and we felt that a lot of the things Greg did were better than what the studio was doing for us. So we actually ended up redoing that particular song in the studio to make it sound more like the way Greg did it. So I would say that all in all Greg is an extremely talented engineer and I would be happy to work with him again. -Phil Moss, Escape Artists
