Studio Z Productions was developed by two band members interested in making demos recordings for ourselves. Through word of mouth and contact with other local musicians, we started offering services to others. Our studio has a relaxed atmosphere, providing song editing, production, recording, and mixing. We record both single artists and full bands and can provide additional musicians as needed for song development. Also, we assist with CD layout, reproduction, and duplication. |
