Welcome to Cave Audio Productions

Chicago's premier flat rate recording studio, live recording and sound reinforcement service. Our goal is to provide a professional, relaxed environment conducive to the artistic process, while maintaining a flat fee that is within your budget.
As a musician myself, I find it extremely difficult to achieve a quality product when recording on an hourly basis. That $50+/hr hanging over my head never allows me to fully concentrate on what I am there to do; record great music. Recording is an artistic process which, if rushed, only distorts and diminishes the artist's intended vision. At Cave Audio Productions we record every project for one fixed price. Whether it is a singer's vocal demo or a band's full length CD, the artist need not worry about exceeding their budget because it will have already been established prior to the session. This is made possible due to the fact that I absolutely love what I do. Working in music production has been a lifelong dream of mine, so after college I began working and attended 12 months of hands-on training at StudioChicago. This was an incredible experience which allowed me direct access to the operations of a commercial recording/mastering facility. The 'secrets' I learned from the pros have been invaluable to my recordings, and since becoming certified I feel it is my obligation to make professional recordings accessible to students and working people.

The advancements in recording technology over the past ten years allow the experienced engineer to produce recordings of such superb quality, that it is no longer necessary to exhaust one's life savings to make a professional recording. But please don't take my word for it. Click on the samples section and listen to some great music that was produced for far less than you think.

 

Cave clients also enjoy added piece of mind with our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you are dissatisfied with the initial session in any way, you may cancel all subsequent sessions and pay nothing. As a courtesy to my customers I do not require payment until the project is completed; however, Cave Audio Productions cannot release any music without full payment.

There always seems to be a conflict of interest when recording by the hour. The engineer is there to help guide you through the artistic process and inform you of any mistakes that need to be corrected; yet when they tell you to "redo that last take", your extra time goes directly into their pocket. When we ask you to redo a take at Cave Audio Productions we may be spending more time, but in the long run it is more profitable for us in that we create a superior product which in turn attracts more clientele. Here everyone's motivation is in the right place and it makes for one of the most relaxed recording experiences in town.

I love working with aspiring musicians and seeing their projects come together from start to finish. If you have a solid vision and are well prepared, Cave Audio Productions will help you turn that vision into a reality. Is there anything better you can do for your music than get it out there?
