If you're a practicing musician, you know how hard it can be to make the jump from having great songs in your head, to getting a decent recording on CD.  Studio time is expensive, good quality instruments and microphones are far from cheap, and those local gigs and open mic nights don't exactly bring home the rock star paycheck. 

After years of gigging and recording in Kansas City and the surrounding area, I've seen countless performers with great talent, but far fewer with a good demo.  Without the resources to cut a CD, the music ends with the live show.  Friends and family may be able to handle the muddy 4-track recording you made at rehearsal, but it won't take you far beyond that.

Afterburn Recording Studios brings high-quality recording within reach of the artist on a budget.  As technology advances, home studios have become a popular alternative to the high-priced, sterile environments of years past.  But it's certainly not enough to just plug your guitar into a computer's sound card and go.

Afterburn has a diverse array of great equipment at your disposal, from top-of-the-line condenser mics and pre-amps to Les Paul Custom guitars.  Play on Marshall, Fender, or Mesa Boogie amplifiers, with some of the best effects processors available.  Of course you can still bring your own gear, but our toy box is always open for you!

With a large main room and iso booth, the studio is configured so your whole band can record live tracks together.  Depending on the recording package you choose, you can keep the best takes and overdub as needed, or go for the full track-by-track studio experience.  It's a no-pressure environment because you're never on the clock.  All sessions are priced by the song!

Our commitment to high quality and value pricing carries over into the mixdown and production as well.  At Afterburn Recording, vocal tuning, track cleanup, effects processing, and all of the other post-tracking extras are included in your package price. 

Check out what you'll get for your money at the other studios, then come back to us. You'll find no one else can match Afterburn's combination of engineering experience and attention to detail.

Afterburn Recording Studios welcomes professional musicians, weekend club bands, and amateur music enthusiasts alike.  Whether you need a full-length album ready for commercial distribution, a demo to sell at your shows, or just want to get your songs out of the garage and into your CD player, we've got you covered.

Keep on rockin'!
