Welcome to Echoes Recording Studio

We are a professional recording facility located 10 miles south of Hagerstown, MD (one hour from Baltimore, MD and Washington D.C.). We are conveniently located near Interstate access yet are situated in a very secluded rustic setting. No Neighbors and lots of trees! Our studio is housed in a 1855, 2 story farmhouse with over 3000 square feet of recording areas. We offer a very spacious control room, drum room, 2 studio rooms, along with options for more rooms available for separation/isolation purposes if needed. All Rooms are acoustically treated. Musicians can play together or isolated but still be in eye contact.

We conduct our studio on a professional level but pride ourselves for being very laid back and easy to work with. Creating a very comfortable and laid back environment we feel is very important to the recording process. Echoes Recording Studio is a studio designed and operated by musicians for musicians We have adopted a hands on approach to the recording project for each and every client. We do not do 'Cookie Cutter' or Assembly line type recordings. We take the approach that each project is unique and creative. We encourage as much participation into the recording process as each clients wishes.

Finished up some amazing projects recently. Jay Paisley from Washington DC did some amazing tracks, Steve Myers (The Banjo Demon) just finished his debut bluegrass CD which had some legendary bluegrass players on such as Mike Munford, Michael Twigg and Russ Hooper. Black Materia is putting the final touches on there epic debut CD.
The second floor of the studio is being redesigned, the rooms above the control room are going to be the new lounge area with couches, stereo, xbox 360, etc.. This will be a nice chill area for clients and there guests to hang out. A kitchen area will be next to the lounge room. The other 2 rooms upstairs are going to house the Echoes Electronics Laboratory (EEL) which is where myself and many other mad scientists will create and build acoustically destructive devices for recording studios.

2" 24 Track Reel to Reel installed

We have just purchased a Otari 24 Track 2" Tape deck for use primarily in tracking basic tracks and then immediately transferring over to digital on certain projects. The sound of rock drums on analog tape is defiantly something to behold and the Otari is defiantly a workhorse of the industry with thousands of hit records recorded on them.. We are going to eventually get a 16 Track and 8 Track head as well for use on the machine. One nice thing about the Otaris is the headstacks changed out very easily. I will have pictures and sound samples up shortly.

Finished 2 custom built 1176 Compressors for the studio. They sound very sweet, especially on drums.

We finally got our MCI J636 large format mixing console installed and fully functioning. The console original was commissioned for Battery Studios Chicago in 1983. Original price was $150,000!!! After spending 10 years there it was transferred to a small studio in Manhattan, New York. Just at Battery alone this console had a impressive list of clients to record on it.

We purchased the console last October and have spent the last couple months restoring it. I have done much recapping, rechipping, modifications, upgrades, etc. etc.

The console sounds truly amazing and has been well worth the time and money put into it. I have always wanted a MCI , primarily due to the fact that one of my favorite producer/engineers Tom Dowd used them extensively.
