Well, first off... How much money are you looking to spend? Because that will most likely be the deciding factor when it comes to choosing a studio. - Sat, 28 Oct 2006 1:28pm

Always remember, usually when your recording it takes a day to lay down basic tracks, then another day for overdubbin'. As I usually recommend, Rat's Nest will do it at $20 per hour (if I can remember), so yeah, 8 hours per day ($160) x 2 would equal about $300, give or take. Contact Garry if you have any questions. Mind you this is a guess, I've never recorded anything. And the number listed might be out of service, oops. Once again, I wonder why we can't delete our own messages. Sad, really. - Mon, 6 Nov 2006 12:52pm Edited: Mon, 6 Nov 2006 12:58pm

I've mentioned this before, but our band had a bad experience with Gary. Mostly because he lost all of our recordings in the ether somewhere. Don't get me wrong, he was a really nice guy, but not the most professional. - Sat, 11 Nov 2006 12:21pm

Hmmmm... so where could the recordings have gotten to then?!? And how much did you pay to have the recordings done? I dunno about professionalism, Rats Nest seems to be pretty straightforward, it's not like he's recording the band to cassette tape. With the prices that he charges, ya gotta know what your doing. I've heard numerous recordings that came from the Rats Nest, even the Old Time Punk Rock release where he used WaveLab to record it (not CuBase, not Tascam reel to reel). Sounds good to me. - Tue, 14 Nov 2006 4:38pm Edited: Tue, 14 Nov 2006 4:42pm

try using the resources on this site, there's contact info for the rats nest there.
i've recorded with gary numerous times and would have to say that he is a solid experienced affordable way to record a demo. By no means is it gold record quality, but its still a good sounding demo. If you want samples of his work(from the rock-punk genre) then lemme know id be happy to send some tracks i did there a while ago.
Usually when i would need service of the rats nest i would email gary and hopefully i will get a reply(he'll reply it might take a couple emails to bother him enuff). - Wed, 15 Nov 2006 2:36pm

Can do basic recordings, multi-tracking...
bring beer, and pizza... naked women... would be acceptable, but highly unlikely, so yeah... beer and pizza...
any girls that wanna record a demo, if they bring pizza and beer, they can record for free, if they're naked...
LOL
