I love doing this and want to do it more. My wife and I met up with the singer on Friday night with nothing. Bounced an idea around for a while then went into a home studio on Saturday. Finished the tune and recorded it. Very fun...

What a fun way to record a full length record. A producer hired me to record a folk/country group at a venue in Kentucky. It's an old church that has been converted into a live music venue. During the day while they were closed we set up on the second floor in a huge room with a stage. High...

Recorded this and 10 others for a client over the weekend. This was one of my favorites. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/61413279/80%20Miles%20To%20Nashville%202-12-14.mp3

I love standards. Really love to try to record them. This is Jimmy Railey. An orginal member of James Brown's "Flames". Man, he has some great stories. https://soundcloud.com/elton-clifton/misty

My cover band finally came in to do a demo. This is my wife doing her best Michelle Branch impression, which is way better than me trying to do Santana. we are basically live in the room and overdubbed the vocals. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/61413279/Game%20Of%20Love%209-14-13%20copy.mp3

Client album I'm working on. Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/61413279/513am%208-26-13.mp3

17 and 18 year olds. Great kids. Made me feel like there is a future for music. :) They came in and recorded live, then overdubbed the vocals. Would have loved to spend more time on the guitars, but again its always a budget and time thing. https://soundcloud.com/elton-clifton/for-you

Client asked to wife to sing on one. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/61413279/Can%27t%20say%205-21-13.mp3

For Mother's Day my wife and her 16 year old son finally recorded a song together. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/61413279/The%20Boxer%205-12-13-2%20copy.mp3

I put this here because I'm more curious how you guys would approach this type of recording instead of comments on the mix. It's just vocals. A traditional 5 piece group live in a room. I thought about several stereo mic techniques, but ended up placing them around the room and giving them each...

This is such a fun way to record. This was a 4 piece band. 3 vocals, guitar, acoustic bass guitar, mandolin and cajon. I ended up setting up 9 microphones up in the room. C-414 on acoustic, Peluso pencil on the mando( although I prefer a ribbon, but the bleed was too much from the lead vocal)...

Client brought this tune in last week. Fun one for sure. https://soundcloud.com/elton-clifton/hum-road-song

Fortunate to get to record and mix this. I love the song. I used an AT4041 on the acoustics and an SM-7 on vocals. Bass direct. Recorded in a living room. https://soundcloud.com/elton-clifton/southern-belle

Thought this would be kinda cool to share. Its a video of a live recording I did in the studio last week. The artist wanted to capture himself performing live. I was in in the control room capturing audio while they were in the tracking room performing and shooting the video...
