YARNER STUDIO IS NO LONGER A COMMERCIAL RECORDING STUDIO, PLEASE READ BELOW.
Yarner Recording Studio is an eclectic little one-room audio/music-arts space located in Washington, DC at the A.Salon artists collective on the border of Takoma Park.
As of January 2008, it will no longer be a commercial studio but will continue to function as my private studio. This is simply because I've decided to pursue another job opportunity and I truly appreciate and will miss all the great folks that created and recorded music at Yarner over the past 2 years.
Feel free to look around at the website anyway and contact me with any questions. From December 2005 - December 2007 Yarner was affordable, friendly and professional, a great alternative space for a variety of small digital recording projects.
Yarner Recording Studio is great for small projects. "Small" meaning those that require no more than 3 or 4 musicians recording at once (or 8 inputs at once) and those projects
that can reach completion with 24 audio tracks at mixdown (plus the option of an additional 16 MIDI tracks).
Recording at Yarner is done in an acoustically-treated room that doubles as a "control-room" (engineer's listening/mixing station) and tracking (recording/live) room. Effective signal processing equipment, high-quality microphones and proper microphone techniques are all used by the engineer to achieve great sounding results.
Yarner projects are created on the Tascam 2488 digital audio workstation (DAW)
and can be mixed down to CD (standard redbook audio) and/or computer file types such as .wav or .mp3
The room is a 10.5' x 19' irregular heptagon shape with an 8' ceiling. There is a dedicated space just outside the studio room that can isolate the sound of one guitar amp for track separation and there is also a portable, tri-fold baffle that acts to isolate a vocalist or acoustic guitar from other live instruments in the room during the first record-pass of a song (final vocals must be recorded as overdubs).
Yarner is a small, affordable, alternative space to traditional studios with "live-rooms". A live-room is separate from the engineer's mixing/recording station and allows a band of any size to record all at once at any point in a project. Yarner is primarily an overdub studio that sometimes requires making multiple passes through a song in order to achieve the cleanest sounds; it is structured toward recording the basic rhythm tracks first and then recording each additional instrument/voice individually. It's a great
space to record in this manner.
The studio has a nice selection of audio equipment, including but not limited to:
