Band Recording
GoatHead Audio records full bands on location. We bring a multitrack rig that handles up to 26 simultaneous channels, enough to mic every drum, every amp, every vocal, and every DI individually. The whole band plays together and every instrument gets its own isolated track for mixing.
How Band Sessions Work
We set up at your rehearsal space, garage, or wherever you play. Mic placement is tailored to the room and your instrumentation. Kick, snare, toms, overheads for drums. Mics on amps. DI for bass. Vocal mics. Whatever the band needs.
After sound check, you run through your songs. Take as many passes as you need. Per-song pricing means there's no hourly clock. Most full bands get through 2-3 songs in a 4-hour session depending on complexity and preparation.

Prepare Your Band
Know your songs. Run through them at rehearsal before the session. Tune your instruments. Bring fresh strings and fresh drumheads if yours are worn. Have a song order in mind.
The better prepared you are, the more you'll get out of the session. We handle the engineering. You just need to play your parts.
