While the Crazy Daisy Productions studio is primarily a Mastering and Short-run duplication facility, we do offer recording and mixing services as with any other studio. Recording projects are generally only for people residing in the vicinity of Eugene, Oregon and are scheduled on a case-by-case basis, typically in the evenings or weekends so as to not take time away from our mastering projects. We have a comfortable, acoustically-treated 180 square foot room ideal for recording vocals and live instruments. Our pride and joy is our condenser mic recording chain which utilizes a Blue Baby Bottle microphone, Presonus Eureka pre-amp, and Presonus Firepod 24-bit/96kHz DAC. We also have a Lexicon MX200 outboard dual-stereo effects processor and 4-output headphone amplifier to help provide a comfortable monitoring environment for the artists. Vocals are picked up clean and rich sounding with almost zero background or eletronic noise present. Instruments can also be recorded through this chain and/or one of our two sets of directional stereo condensor mics and a variety of dynamic mics available.

Need an instrument? We've have a variety of acoustic and electric stringed instruments, wooden flutes, and many percussion instruments available to use if you wish to add something more to your recordings. Our Yamaha S08 standard full-size MIDI keyboard contains a variety of built-in instrument sounds and sound effects and has weighted keys for realistic piano key feel. MIDI recordings allow complete control over the timing, volume level, attack, decay, and even the instrument sound itself at any point in the recording or mixing process.

Most of our recording and mixing is done using Steinberg Cubase SX3, an excellent multitrack digital audio workstation that allows incredible control and flexibility in the recording, editing, and mixing process. We have a variety of standard effects plug-ins available to enhance your sound, in addition to our Lexicon MX200 outboard dual-stereo effects processor. We also use Abelton Live 5, which is great for recording and mixing audio sample loop based material. We also have Logic 7 available for on-site recording and for mixing projects originally recorded with that program. We can provide mixing work, both in-depth and touch-up work, for projects done in any of these 3 systems or earlier versions of the same systems.

For most recording and mixing projects our rates are only $30/hr. The amount of time required will depend on the complexity of your project.
