“They have the best ProTools Engineers I’ve ever worked with.”
- David Z, Independent Producer and Engineer
American Idol seems to love Winterland Studios. We had RCA recording artist Daughtry here recording with his producer Howard Benson. Howard has worked with L. A. Guns, Motorhead, Sepultura, My Chemical Romance, Hoobastank the list goes on.
Producer Engineer David Z who has worked with Prince, Johnny Lang, Fine Young Cannibals etc. was here with Minneapolis band Zmo Trio.
Indigenous likes us too as we recorded their second album with us. Producer Jamie Candiloro whose credits include Ryan Adams, R.E.M., Willie Nelson, The Eagles was at the helm with engineer Dror.
Here is what has been happening. We have made a few changes to the place. A few new pieces of gear here and there. We are expanding the capabilities of Studio B. making it a viable alternative to artists on a limited budget. The quality of gear in B rivals many A. studios. We have rearranged Studio A’s control room to make it more spacious. Everyone likes the new layout. Come check it out.
Here are some of recent clients. Highlights include: The R. Kelly crew had a session in Studio B. They were in a town for a show at the Target Center. In Studio A we recorded Sara McLachlan’s piano playing and her beautiful voice. We Also had Gavin Degraw, who is signed to Clive Davis’s J-Records, in for a session in A. He recorded a Christmas song to be released this winter.
Winterland has been busy with many great albums. We love the range of music we get to work with. From R&B to hard rock to hip hop/rap. From the Average White Band to Soviet Machines. We are never Bored.
Mint condition was back for another record with us after having success with Living the Luxury Brown album which was recorded here in 2005. The new album E-Life is sure to well also.
Alanis Morissette recorded vocals and acoustic guitar. Another rare talent who has an amazing voice.
We appreciate the trust our clients put in our faculty and staff. Thanks for recording with us.
We have been having a great winter with many cool artists coming to record at Winterland Studios. The Studio and Todd Fitzgerald were featured in an article in Pro Sound News Magazine.
We have added new gear and have done some more remodeling to make the studios even better.
New gear includes Dynaudio BM-15 Powered monitors. Thanks to TC Electronics for the support of Dynaudios.
