What We Do
The overarching principle behind National Audio Preservation Society is to DO MORE WITH LESS.
That's not to say we don't have industry standard gear or a professional recording facility, because we do. We just choose not to focus on it. It's not about having the most bells and whistles, its about providing a creative, comfortable environment that makes it easy to write and relax, while still making sure the end product sounds absolutely incredible.
From full band live tracking to mixing & mastering, and more, we deliver a professional and unique experience and product that is guaranteed to compete with the best in the industry, all from our secluded little cabin, nestled in the woods.

More about the space
Surrounded by woods, the main entrance opens up into a fully enclosed live room and lounge with more than enough space to house an entire band (over 300 square feet) staged with gobos, diffusers, and other acoustic fixtures. On the left is a small isolation booth (roughly 30 square feet) fitted with a glass door into the live room. Beyond the booth is a full size control room (over 150 square feet) with plenty of room to relax, record, or just watch the live room through a double set 6x3 window.
Floors are cement to provide perfect isolation while using throw rugs to control reflection. Antique oak barn siding, prefabricated wood paneling over top 100% absorbent panels make up the studio walls with the ceiling remaining mostly bare acoustic paneling with inset BBC style diffusion boxes.
