Groove Tunes Studios

Working hard on Mike Staton's new Southern Gospel album at Groove Tunes Studios.

Please help our good friends at Abbott's Bar & Grill stay afloat during these rough times. Thank you.

Each week we’ll be sharing a section of our 5-part series, Recording Your Music! Originally published in Open Mic Atlanta. To start the series off, Part 1: Why Record? Demonstrate! Every performing musician is looking for effective ways to market themselves. If you are actively seeking gigging venues around town, you need a calling card. You have to sell yourself to club owners and show them how great you are. They’re going to want to meet you, but they’re not going to ask y...ou for an on-the-spot live audition. They’re going to ask you for a demo CD. Yep, your best chance to land that gig is to have a killer sounding demo CD ready to give out the instant someone asks for it. And if you’ve recorded your demo at a professional recording studio you’ll have a huge competitive edge over 95% of the competition who bring in amateurish mixes created in their cousin’s bedroom. If you’re serious about selling yourself, you will need a professionally recorded demo. If it wasn’t recorded, it never existed! Even if you don’t plan to gig out there are other reasons why you should record your music. For one, your music and your sound is your legacy. Hey, you’re not going to live forever. A recording is a record of your talent. It’s a living and timeless document of who you are and what you were able to do. Consider if Jim Morrison or Jimi Hendrix hadn’t recorded their works when they were in their early twenties. Nobody except their family and a few friends would remember them today. What would a would-be-author be if he never bothered to write down his thoughts? What if a visually creative artist never purchased a camera, or a paint brush and easel? Recorded sound is the legacy of all musicians. Without a sound recording your musical existence is only hearsay. It’s as if it never existed. Don’t let the music die with you. You owe it to yourself! Recordings that are produced professionally can make you sound amazing, as good as you’ve ever sounded. Your professional recording is something to be proud of, something that you will want to show off and share with loved ones. And if you’re really good, your recordings can lead to financial gain. The only downsides to recording are the time and cost it takes to do it. But compared to all the time and treasure you expend during your lifetime perfecting your craft and buying your instruments, the cost of a professional recording is a very small investment, and one that can reap emotional if not financial rewards.

Not getting the sound you want? Want to add some thing more to your sound? Sounds like it’s time to consider what a professional recording studio can do that your home studio can’t. (See what we did there?! )

Yesterday marked the beginning for Mike Staton’s newest project, a Southern Gospel album. The 11-song album will have breadth and versatility, including Mike’s smooth baritone vocals and featuring some of the best musicians in the Southeast. Look for it’s release later this year.
