(an egg sampler)

Greetings from me, Conrad Uno.

Egg Studios is my personal studio, boasting the Ultimate in Analog recording.............. 2" 16 track.

Or, we can go "tapeless" and just cut the tracks to the Digital system. That's fun too and costs you less.

Or, we can combine, mix, and match analog and digital, as need be.

Egg is a comfy, funky, infamous, garage/basement studio. It's real and it's fast and you can afford it ! I've recorded millions of demos here in my basement and some great albums also. Most bands record fairly "live" basic tracks then overdub as needed.

If you record at Egg, you are usually recording with me. That means I am your engineer and will help with production when the need arises. This help is simply a bonus of recording at Egg and is included in the regular rates.

A day at Egg will cost you $350

An hour at Egg will cost you $35

(two hour minimum)

Tape Costs are Extra, of course.

You can keep tape costs to a minimum by renting tape from me for $50 per reel.

Fine Print: the Egg day is from 10 am to 10 pm. Weekend dates booked at Day Rate only. Tape rental includes archiving tracks to digital multi-track, stored on DVD. Using other engineer/producer types is fine but requires special arrangements.

To check available dates etc., contact me via the electronic mail..... Info@eggstudios.net

What are folks saying about the egg experience?..... Testimonials

OK, sure, it's true that some great albums have been recorded here!

But you shouldn't come to Egg just because I did the first Presidents album, or because you love the albums by the Young Fresh Fellows, or the Fastbacks, or Mudhoney, or Gas Huffer, or the Supersuckers, or the Devil Dogs, or the Mono Men, or Snitches Get Stitches, or the Posies, or Zeke, or the Briefs, or Smoosh, or Ruby Dee and the Snakehandlers, etc., etc., that were recorded here.

You should come to Egg because you want to have a fun, relaxed, high quality, low stress, productive recording experience that doesn't cost you arms and legs and a years worth of whiskey.

I have decent gear, shit loads of experience, and truly believe that recording should be easy and fun !

Please give me a holler and tell me about your band or project, or to ask any questions you might have about me, or Egg, or recording in general.

Tape

Egg is primarily an Analog recording facility.

We use 2" Quantegy GP9, 499, or 456 recording tape.

Quantegy, the worlds only major supplier of quality analog tape recently went through bankruptcy.

The good news is that Quantegy has survived and is shipping tape again.

(The bad news is that the prices have gone up.)

But......

Egg does have tape!

For lower to medium budget projects, demos, etc., we will be happy to rent you tape, and archive your tracks onto DVD once your use of the tape is complete. (i.e.-mixed and approved for mastering) The tape we rent is high quality, new or nearly new, and will not be worn out in any way. We also can sell you slightly used reels at a reduced price. For higher budget projects we can sell you new tape, please call and ask about availability and price ahead of time. thanks.

Tape Rental.......$50 per reel (includes archiving)

Used tape for sale........price will vary but will be between $75 and $150

New tape for sale.........the new prices are: GP9 - $250 plus tax , 499 - $230 plus tax, and 456 - $210 plus tax.

We also have blank CDR's, 1/4" analog, DAT, and cassette tape in stock. You can save a couple of bucks, if you want, by purchasing your own tape etc. at ProTape NW in Seattle. (206-441-8273).

Our analog recorder is an Otari MTR 90 MkIII- 2" 16 track recorder.

It is awesome!

(We also have two Tascam MSR-16, 1/2" 16 track recorders, one with dolby "S" noise reduction and one with dbx.

We don't record on them anymore but they are here if needed for playback of old tapes, etc.)

For your digital recording needs we have the MOTU 2408 MK III / Mac G4 /

Digital Performer system.

(comparable to and compatable with Pro Tools)

It will synch to the Analog tape decks, making it easy to bring tracks in from other studios, send tracks out to other studios, edit tracks, and phutz around, etc. (We also have 16 tracks of Tascam DA-88 digital recording which will sync to the analog and/or MOTU if needed)

Mic pre-amps are Neve, Manley, Mackie, and the special sound of our Spectrasonics Console (custom built for Stax Studios in Memphis around 1964). We have a variety of Microphones, of course, including the lovely and talented Soundeluxe U-95 tube, Royer R-122 Ribbon, 414's, 421's, AT-4033, Sanken CU-31's, RE-20, etc. Amongst our outboard gear we boast a Manley Electro optical tube limiter/compressor, a Drawmer tube EQ, an Empirical Labs Distressor, plus plenty of the usual squeezers and goop machines. We mix to a 1/4" Studer B67 (analog half track) and/or directly to the hard drive of our Alesis MasterLink. Using the MasterLink makes it extremely easy and fast to burn you a reference CD of your session if you like, and/or a 24 bit CD-rom which can be used for mastering or as a master backup.

We monitor with Tannoy's legendary "Little Reds" (SRM 12B's), NS 10's, and EV S-40's. We are also proud to supply cable TV/VCR, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, playstation 1, mini ping pong table, and toilet.
