Shattered Glass Studio

Welcome to the teporary homepage for the tentatively named Shattered Glass Studio. We specialize in low-budget, high-fidelity recording for Catholic artists.

Are you a Catholic musician who really wants to record a few original songs, but you don't have the gear or know-how? Email us! All we ask is that you purchase some of the gear we'll need to record you. For isntance, if we have all the gear to record you except a kit of drum mics, we'd want you to purchase the drum mics so that we can record you, as well as the next person who asks our services.

We use DigiDesign ProTools -- the industry standard recording and mixing software -- to produce high-fidelity recordings. Unfortunately, at this time we do NOT have a computer to run this on. So if you have a laptop or desktop with 512MB or more of RAM that runs Windows XP, or a Mac using OS X 10.2 or later, we'd want you to bring it over. Otherwise, we'd like for your puchase a check towards the "Shattered Glass needs a Mac" fund.

If we have everything you need, we'd request either a donation towards a Mac, or to puchase one or more items from our "Needed Gear" section.
