The Studio
Potomac Audio has a comfortable and casual
environment where you can relax and concentrate on making music. The studio is
designed as a single large, acoustically treated room, with the recording
equipment separated from the players’ space.
You are a pleasure to work with and your studio is fabulous.
There was plenty of room to take cues from each other.
Potomac Audio specializes in clean ensemble
recordings with the musicians playing together. The studio size and design
minimizes undesirable bleedthrough between instruments, while the proximity
of the players lends an intimacy and immediacy to the recordings. There is
something amazing that happens when musicians play off each other that
can’t be replicated when they are isolated.
It’s also possible to build a larger ensemble recording out of groups
of section performances. As an example, a 10-piece band had difficulty
getting all the members to a single recording session. The solution was to
record the band in three sessions: the rhythm section playing as an ensemble,
the horn section playing as an ensemble, and the vocalists performing together.
The result was a polished but obviously live performance.
