Overview

Outer Limit Recording Studio can AND WILL give you the BEST chance at impressing the label, getting hits online, selling CDs and mp3s, or getting the gigs that you’re looking for by giving you the best mixing and mastering at a very fair price.

Here’s why Outer Limit Recording Studio is the company you want to use to finish your project:

  • Experience – Outer Limit has been amazing clients for over two decades. Our chief engineer has been playing instruments since before the age of three, can play half-a-dozen of them fluently and dabbles in others, has a full four-year music-intensive degree in Sound Recording Technology, and opened Outer Limit Recording Studio in 1993.
  • In our city we’re the absolute go-to studio for recording, mixing, and mastering.
  • We can get it done FAST for you. Depending on the scope and quality of the songs you send, and if there are no snags with respect to formats, we can generally turn around a project in less than a week.
  • Convenient payment options – Paypal and all major credit cards are accepted
  • We offer discounts on multiple-song projects

Featured Services

Mixing is the process in which we take all of the elements; the kick, the snare, hats, toms, bass, guitars, harmonica, glockenspiel, chickens, vocals… whatever, and balance them perfectly to give you the professional sound that you need to compete.

Mixing also includes adding effects like compression, EQ, reverb, delay, chorus and dozens of others to make your song stand out above anything you’ve done before – and to stand out above your competition.

If you give us good, cleanly-recorded songs, we’ll give you GREAT results! We’ve been listening, learning, and paying attention to the top acts out there for decades, and we know all the tricks and techniques to giving you the fullest, most crisp and professional sound.

Equipment

Outer limit has assembled an array of equipment that is extremely versatile, allowing Ken to utilize it to excel at anything from rock to hip-hop to classical.

Ken’s very carefully chosen selection of mics, compressors and preamps gives any client the potential for a world-class sound, and the rock-solid single channel of a Neumann, AKG or Blue mic straight into an Avalon or Universal Audio pre leaves nothing to be desired.
