I mainly do two things; I write and sing songs, and record. I’ve been doing both for a loooonnnngggg time. So I figured it would be nice to have a place to hang out, and talk about recording and songwriting. I plan to post ideas and examples or links from artists of all stripes. Maybe it will be an example really great stuff, or maybe of suckdom….It will depend on the ideas being put forth.

Real Plate reverb! I just got an ecoplate 2. Picked it up from my old friend Noel Stookey .www.noelpaulstookey.com of Peter, Paul and Mary fame ; www.peterpaulandmary.comc I actually had bought it for him when I was working as chief engineer at his place in the early 80’s Noel had it sitting in his house ever since he shut his studio many years ago, with the idea that he would wire it into his home studio. I traded a day’s worth of mixing on the David Zee project that Noel’s producing. Seems like fair deal. It’s too big for anywhere in my studio- it would also “hear” too much of the racket. So it’s going into the storage area in the basement. It will be a bit inconvenient for changing the rt ( reverb decay time), since I’ll have to walk down there to move the lever, but the sound is worth it. Plus, I can use the exercise….
Houndog Recording is the project studio owned by producer/artist John Stuart, one of New England’s most experienced Producer/Engineers.
John has more than 30 years of experience in the recording and music business. As a musician, composer, producer, and engineer, he can be found on both “sides of the glass”. His depth of experience, musicality, easy manner and enthusiasm are some of the reasons that clients return project after project. Personal service is a hallmark of Houndog. Our clients are our friends.
Our studio is oriented toward contemporary music production. Not a midi closet, and not a sound stage suitable for string dates, Houndog’s studio is a comfortable, intimate space that is oriented toward small group tracking, overdubbing, and mixing/mastering, with a large control room and two iso booths.
Houndog Recording offers professional recording and production services. Combining a wealth of experience, a comfortable environment and personal service.
Houndog is artist owned and operated. What we enjoy most is making music with other creative people. We believe that the most important factor in any recording project is human.
We are experienced performers, as well as producers. We make sure that the technical side is taken care of. But, most importantly, we understand non-technical terms, such as “feel” and “presence”, and further, why those things are more crucial than “quantization” or “bit depth” to an artist’s project.
From when you walk in with a handful of songs, to when you walk out with a finished master, Houndog puts every bit of skill and talent at your disposal, Our success depends on your success.
We will gladly send you a sampler CD of some of the artists that trust us with their music. Samples are available online for download as well. If you would like to talk further about your project call or email to make an appointment.
