ÒWhat We Do to Be Ready for Your SessionÓ

 

At Mocking Bird, we begin with the end in mind:

A satisfied customer with a great sounding recording.

 

At Mocking Bird Recording Studios we do everything we can to provide you with a creative environment and relaxed atmosphere conducive to capturing your best performance. We aspire to be your partner in helping you to achieve the results you want to hear. Utilizing our collective 25 years of experience on both sides of the control booth window, we've brainstormed and researched for new ways to help Mocking Bird clients do just that. To that end we have recently completed a top down and all around review of our in-house studio procedures. As a result, we have restructured our approach to maximize our service to you. We place a heavy emphasis on advance preparation for every session both for the client and the studio staff.

 

To better prepare ourselves for your session, weÕve developed Mocking Bird's "In-House Preparedness Protocol". This includes a revamped session scheduling process and a 25-point checklist that our staff follows before the start of every session. At Mocking Bird, when you walk in, weÕll be ready.
