It's the little things

Recording

From microphone selection to lighting and even room temperature… It’s the little things that can make a big difference in how your recording session will turn out. It’s the attention to the details that sets us apart.

“Dark Pines is one of those studios where the moment you walk in the control room you think to yourself, "Man, I sure could get used to this."”

Mason Keck, Jive Mother Mary

Not everyone is a producer

Mixing and Producing

Many artists are able to record at home these days. Which is a great thing.
But not all artists are mix engineers or producers and not everyone has a professional level recording studio to mix in.
That’s where we can help you take your music to the next level. We can add that air and polish to your music to get it ready to be delivered to the world.
