Soap Floats Recording - Home

News:

We welcome the arrival of Justin Segbers and Chris Schmidt

to Soap Floats Recording!!

Justin is a local musician, repair tech, and CCM audio engineering graduate.

Chris currently runs sound for The Mad Frog, and has engineered

countless rock-oriented projects.

While Justin and Chris will be working as independent engineers,

we will be combining our collective resources and know-how,

and likely working as co-engineers in some cases.

All of us are excited about this union, for we feel the combination of our

different talents and skills creates a unique situation that can only allow

each of us to provide a better recording and mixing environment.

Further notes:

We have the capability to do studio and live recording,

up to 24 simultaneous channels, wherever it needs to be done.

All premium mics and preamps are included for live recordings.

In addition to a variety of mobile recording methods, we also have a

dedicated recording space, including a large sanctuary, treated control room,

amp/vocal isolation rooms and booths, and the ability to provide

up to seven individual headphone/monitor mixes.

This is one of the best sounding drum rooms in the city, if not the region!

We invite you to explore this beautiful space and its many possibilities.

About the Space

Our integrated home is a church built in 1897. It boasts multiple spaces, the keystone being a huge (30'x40') sanctuary with stage, amp iso room behind stage, adjoining control room, 15-30ft ceilings, and various baffles, bogos, etc.

There are additional rooms upstairs (and elsewhere) that can be used for amp isolation rooms or for any source that needs isolation.

Further up lies the bell tower, with a fully-functional bell. We have yet to find a way to to use this space for recording purposes, but it remains a fun place to be with a great view.

Goal/Purpose

Our only goal is your satisfaction. Having worked on both sides of the glass, we understand what it takes to make a truly great recording: a passionate, relaxed performance; exceptional audio capture; and a mixing/editing process focused on both creating the best quality audio and the artists' intent and desire.

We believe there is an astonishing wealth of local musical talent and promise in Cincinnati and the Tri-State area.

We also believe that this talent and promise is undiscovered, underutilized, or even ignored at times.

We believe that by creating the right atmosphere and culture, we can (with you, of course) help foster this talent and promise so that it, our city and its musicians, fans, engineers, and venues may enjoy the musical landscape they deserve.

Because of this philosophy, we handle the disliked (but unfortunately, necessary) business side of recording with a flat (and reasonable) per song / per project rate so you don't have to be watching the clock - of course, these rates are negotiable on a per-project basis.

Please feel free to contact us w/ any questions about pricing and terms.

Finally, much like the varied rooms and spaces of this amazing building, our studio will strive to provide a variety of services.

In addition to recording and mixing, we can provide quality, professional contacts for the following:
