STUDIO AND PRODUCTION NOTES

 
   The Innertube Studio was initially constructed in 1989 to record scratch songs for the now defunct "Perpetual Annihilation", and afterwards served as a tool to facilitate the recording of many local bands.  The principal operator, Nick Kucel, has been diligently researching audio production principles for several years, and after extensively experimenting with his own recordings (about 1500 of them) he's assured that he can deliver high quality, competitive sounding recordings.
     Nick Kucel has been recording consistently since 2000 and has worked on several projects which have been picked up by record labels (some large - some small.)  Look on the management page to see a full list of credits.  Kucel also has a very malleable attitude which provides a laid-back yet expedited production pace, which has given rise to the nickname "Nick the quick" because he blazes through the tracks and fixes every audio anomaly which emerges.  He uses current technology to provide the finest sounding recordings which are completed cost-effectively saving you money in the end.  He still only charges $22.50 an hour for his recording services - try the Innertube Studio once and you will be a repeat customer.  Typically we are booked 2 months ahead so call NOW!
