"Best Decision We Could Have Made"…read more Being an all vocal (a cappella) cover band focusing on R&B and Hip-Hop hits of the last 5 decades, we at Pitches Be Crazy (PBC) knew that producing our debut album would be a challenge. Our live shows incorporate technology and hardware that help to deliver a "full band" sound with only 5 vocalist. So as we approached how we wanted the album to sound, we wanted something that would give our fans that same feel of the live experience but in a professionally produced product. After recording all of the raw tracks in our in-house studio, we reached out to Blue Room Production (as recommended by a friend and local artist, Daniel "Yellow Tie Guy" Hill) to assist with the mixing and mastering of the album. From the beginning, Conrad (owner of Blue Room Productions) made us feel very comfortable, but more importantly, very confident that he and his team could meet our goals in producing this unique album. Additionally, the estimated costs were on target for our budget. We immediately signed up and began our journey to producing not just PBC's first album, but Blue Room Productions first project of this kind. Together, we would create something special. After an initial communication and "feeling out" period, we scheduled time with our assigned mix engineer, Devin Spears at the Virginia location of Blue Room Productions. The place is so comfortable that the most timid newbies to the studio world would feel welcome and encouraged to release ones inner "rockstar". Because of the uniqueness in our arrangements and overall sound, we began sitting in with Devin during mix sessions. Although we would guide the mixing process, it was Devin who recommended enhancements that really made the mix stellar. He took the time to listen and understand what we wanted the album to sound like. With very little guidance from us; Devin mixed everything quickly and accurately. After mixing the album, we spent a couple of hours with Conrad at Blue Room Production's Maryland location. A stark contrast from the Virginia location, Blue Room's studio in Maryland felt like you were on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise. The space was just as comfortable as the Virginia location, but the vibe was so much more intense; as if we were about to embark on a mission to fight crime or something where in reality we were going to create the "dopest" R&B album ever! Throughout the mastering process, Conrad took the time to explain what he was doing. (This is not something that everyone wants to be a part, understands or even cares about, but I'm a tech guy so understanding the process and technique was welcome.) By the end of 2 hours, the debut album for PBC was complete and it far exceeds what we hoped for. Before partnering with Blue Room Productions, we toyed with the idea of mixing and mastering the album ourselves to try and save a few bucks but thankfully we came to our senses early and made the commitment to outsource these activities. We cannot begin to tell everyone that reads this that the money spent at Blue Room Productions is the smartest investment you can make for creating your produced music. Not only does Blue Room have access to a plethora of hardware and software to get your music sounding amazing, but also has a staff that are highly skilled and experienced and are second to none at what they do. Their awards for being some of the best in the business in the area is well deserved and saved us countless hours (and significant additional costs) had we tried to finish our album ourselves. Our journey with Blue Room Productions was one that we are very thankful for. With several other recording projects on the horizon, PBC looks forward to continuing our partnership with Blue Room Productions and are excited to bring more of our music to the world!
