Elderberry Studio was created as an alternative to digital recording. The idea was not to replace it completely but merge it with the inspiring warmth of cassette tape. The endless track availability of computer recording is replaced with only 4 to 8 tracks. For some that might seem very daunting — but these limitations can trigger creativity and a focus on the core elements of songwriting and performing. Some of the greatest songs of all time were recorded with these limited resources.
For those looking to take a break from computer recording and try something different this is space for you. Inspiring and soon-to-be lo-fi enthusiasts will feel right at home cutting their next song or full length project at Elderberry.
All songs recorded on 4-track Fostex X-28 multitrack recorder and Tascam 238s
Mixed on Tascam M-30 mixer
