Garage Mahal Recording is a full service audio and music recording studio in the Portland-Westbrook Maine area. We pride ourselves in helping our clients realize their artistic vision in a flexible and familiar recording environment, using both modern technology & old school recording techniques. http://www.garagemahalrecording.com

Our studio was designed to provide a flexible & familiar environm

ent, with a 330 sq ft main tracking room large enough to be comfortable while maintaining intimacy. Two booths accommodate anything from a guitar amp or solo vocalist to a small drum kit or horn section. All rooms are constructed with Owens-Corning sound rated materials, floating floors for acoustic isolation, and are wired together, providing maximum flexibility for whatever setup the client wants. Garage Mahal Recording embraces both new technology and old school recording techniques. A great recording starts with a great performance, and our Hearback cueing system provides the client with complete hands-on control over their own personal headphone mix. A solid and growing collection of microphones capture the sounds. Recording digitally on a computer (or DAW) keeps costs low and provides a flexibility unheard of in the analog days.

Today, this man dug deep and laid down excellent bass tracks with a Carol Kaye/James Jameson vibe. It’s said (and I firmly believe) that you can hum a good bass line. Thanks to Bernie Tajonera of COSMIC for a great afternoon of music. Cosmic guitarist Bill Bourassa will be in tomorrow to record overdubs. Looking forward to it.

The COSMIC logo looks great on drummer Todd Gibson’s kick drum!

The very nice people in COSMIC are back here at the studio to record their next record. Good songs and they’re a real pleasure to work with.

Another piece from the Garage Mahal Recording Studio guitar amp collection: the Ampeg V4. The legendary Ken Fischer of Trainwreck Circuits turned me on to this amp (I believe he helped develop it when he worked at Ampeg). It’s the amp you here on “Get Your Ya-Yas Out” by The Rolling Stones. Sounds awesome but it weights a TON. Good for the studio but gigging with it requires a road crew.

Mainebrews N Musicreviews is a great resource for learning about new Maine-based music. I recently designed the logo for their TOP 10 list, and I think it came out pretty snappy!

Thanks to Rowan Bishop at Bridge Street Design for the cool new logo!

Over the weekend the Galilee Guys were here at Garage Mahal Recording Studio to lay down tracks for their next single, a rock arrangement of the "Star Spangled Banner". As a result, I've been feeling quite patriotic all week. Special thanks to Ronnie Lee for some tech work on the drum kit.

I got a nice shout-out from Mainebrews N Musicreviews for my work on the new COSMIC cd. Thanks Paul Gauer!

Mixes for the new AfterBlack release (recorded and mixed here at Garage Mahal Recording) are completed and the band is thrilled. I must admit I'm digging them myself. Here's a taste!

The Garage Mahal Recording Studio gear arsenal now includes a Vox AC30 guitar amplifier. Made famous by the Beatles, they are used by a host of artists from the late Tom Petty to Brian May of Queen. All you players out there know this is a serious jangle machine and an important addition to the collection.

After tracking guitar, bass and drums live on the floor yesterday, 3/4 of Afterblack were back at Garage Mahal Recording Studio today for guitar overdubs. Songs are really shaping up nicely. Tomorrow we tackle vocals.

04/30/2024

Garage Mahal Recording Studio alumni Afterblack are active again (yay!) and recording their next release here at the studio. Today was setup day and we’re getting a thunderous drum sound.

Reflections, the new cd by Rachel Rivera, Sound Healer is back from manufacturing. I have the honor and privilege of recording and mixing it (here at Garage Mahal Recording Studio), as well as designing the packaging (at Bridge Street Design). Rachel is obviously thrilled with the final product!

More news from rapper Magnificent T: the logo I designed for him a few years ago is now available on a pendant! You can pick one up for yourself here (he has other slick merch available as well): https://my-store-11685378.creator-spring.com/listing/mt-pendant-necklace?product=2183

Some of you may not know this but besides being a recording engineer and studio owner, I'm actually a pretty accomplished graphic designer. Over the years I have designed probably hundreds of CD and LP covers. Here's the cover of the new Rachel Rivera, Sound Healer album that I recorded, mixed and designed. It was mastered at Pat Keane Mastering and is currently being manufactured by Crooked Cove CD & Vinyl. Watch for it!

What have I been doing here at Garage Mahal Recording Studio lately? Mixing tracks for COSMIC! Here's a taste:
