Studio

Our Full Service Recording Studio in Portland, OR

A subsidiary of Fluff & Gravy Records, Fluff & Gravy Studios mixes the best in modern digital technology with the best vintage analog gear. Our philosophy is to capture that great, rich sound of your favorite records, using some of the same tried and true techniques that were responsible for the records of our youths. We combine this with the ease of digital editing, and put it back out to tape for analog processing (eq, compression, effects) and mix down. Alternately, we can track directly to 16-track, 1″ tape and bypass the digital world all together. Our in-house engineers, Juniana Lanning and John Shepski have worked with many of Portland’s finest.
