At Mocking Bird, we begin with
the end in mind:
A satisfied customer with a great
sounding recording.
At Mocking Bird Recording Studios we do everything we can to
provide you with a creative environment and relaxed atmosphere conducive to
capturing your best performance. We aspire to be your partner in helping you to
achieve the results you want to hear. Utilizing our collective 25 years of
experience on both sides of the control booth window, we've brainstormed and
researched for new ways to help Mocking Bird clients do just that. To that end we have recently
completed a top down and all around review of our in-house studio procedures. As
a result, we have restructured our approach to maximize our service to you. We
place a heavy emphasis on advance preparation for every session both for the
client and the studio staff.
To better prepare ourselves for your session, weÕve
developed Mocking Bird's "In-House Preparedness Protocol". This includes a revamped session
scheduling process and a 25-point checklist that our staff follows before the
start of every session. At Mocking Bird, when you walk in, weÕll be ready.
