James Hacket is laser focused on recording and producing great music. His exceptional writing and voice are evident, but it’s his will to get this in front of those who need to hear it is relentless. Recorded here at Realgrey Records by John King, Mixed and Mastered by Spencer Martin.
Sometimes an artist walks in with a list of demos they are ready to record. Sometimes they walk in with a guitar, a voice, and a little hesitation. In either case, there’s someone you should know.
I think recording is about more than just capturing sound — it’s about preserving a moment in time. That’s why we offer artists the option of recording and mixing with analog tape as part of our workflow. So why does tape matter, and how can it fit into your project?
Studio time is valuable. Every hour spent working out the basics of a song—things like tempo, lyrics, or melody—takes away from the creative work of producing and capturing your best performance. One way to make the most of your sessions is by creating simple “guide tracks” at home before you ever step into the studio.
A typical morning at the studio started with a text from Anya Antonavich:
“Is that Macy Gray email for real?” I wasn’t sure—but they were playing at the Canton Palace that night. So I checked the inbox and sure enough, there was a message from Alex Lebowitz, an engineer and producer out of L.A. at Revolver Recordings.
When Greg Norman stopped by the studio, he didn’t just bring his deep experience from Electrical Audio—he brought a piece of gear he designed: the EApreq500.
