Tour of Jupiter Studios

Our May 26th stop on the Great Studio Hunt was Jupiter Studios. And to say the least, it was short and sweet.

We met with Rob, and audio engineer that normally works the graveyard shift, and normally does not give the tours, but had to due to scheduling conflicts.

He started by showing us Live Room A, a 25×22 foot room with 20-foot ceilings, along with the guitar room and isolation booths. He really didn’t say much about the rooms (again, he’s not the normal tour guide) but it sounded like most studio rooms, that eerie quiet feeling with no echo and could easily fit a 3-piece rock band.

From there we took a look at the Control Room, where a recording was taking place with Doug the Studio A Engineer. We got to listen to a bit of what was being worked on, which sounded really good, while the vocalist was taking a breather.

We didn’t want to take up too much of their time so we quickly left and to take a look at Studio B. This is a much smaller studio, mainly used for solo acts and rap, and there was no way a 3-piece would fit in there. Again, someone was doing some vocals so we left after a few minutes.

Finally, we ended up in an office (more or less) and were given a chance to ask some questions, since we had to be quite because of the recording that was going on. We talked about the normal things, what we are trying to do, money and time. We let him know we are a 3-piece rock band looking to record one song in 10 hours. Nick, the bass player, also noticed a card for a battle of the bands, where every band gets 10 free hours just by playing the show, and that sealed the deal for us. Twenty hours of studio time for only $500, that’s the best price we’ve found so far.

So now it seems that the Great Studio Hunt has ended, for now, and we can get back to working on our music and playing shows. We have booked the battle of the bands show for July 1st at Fubar, tickets are only $8, more we’ll keep you posted with more info as we get it.
