What We Do

Recording

Whether it's recording an entire band live, instrument overdubs or vocal tracking, The Hatch is set up to capture whatever it is you need recorded.

Production

Let us help you develop your songs and take them to the next level: such as improving song arrangement, adding instrumentation, vocal production and more.

Mixing

The best recording in the world can be ruined by a bad mix. Make sure each element of your song shines while maintaining a good overall balance.

Mastering

Mastering is a mysterious and often misunderstood process for musicians and non-musicians alike. It's what gives your tracks a polished and commercial sound that's radio ready.

Audio

If you have any other audio related work, we are up to the task! This includes audio restoration, audio-to-video sync, location recording and more. Feel free to contact us with any questions or requests.
