Livestreaming and Multi Camera Video

Q Division is now offering real time multi camera livestreaming from Studio A. We work very hard to make everyone sound and look fantastic. We’ve been using the Neve and all of our vintage microphones and instruments to broadcast intimate shows from Studio A. We’re ALSO using a collection of vintage lenses on Nikon DSLR’s and Canon cameras to provide an uncompromising experience for all involved.

In addition to livestreaming a multi camera show or recording session, we can also record as many as 4 cameras independently for editing at a later date – as a high resolution companion document of your high quality multi-track recordings…

We’re also equipped with a green screen and a range of lights for video production tasks.

Drop us a line to find out more about livestreaming or using our multi camera setup to tape your sessions.

Pale Monsters: All This Time We Wait video

February 9, 2018 by Jon Lupfer

Chris Mulvey just shared a new music video that was filmed with their friend Nick Mariani. You can check out on Vimeo or YouTube. The video involves a lot of bike riding and traffic in Boston. These are things that happen. It’s warmer in the video than now though.
ALSO they have (or had, depending on when you read this) a record release on March 10th at the LIZARD LOUNGE.

January 22, 2015 by Rafi

Soft Fangs’ light and airy vocals pierce through this laid-back acoustic recording, bringing a cool perspective in his track and live video, “Point of View” – engineered by Q’s veteran producer Matt Beaudoin, filmed and edited by Michael Chew as a part of Converse Rubber Tracks productions.

Hillary Reynolds Band – Honey, Come Home (Video)

June 25, 2014 by Rafi

Honey, Come Home is the first song and video to be released from HRB’s upcoming album, The Miles Before Us.

The Hillary Reynolds Band have been very hard at work, with Joe Tooley, in every room in Q Division, recording and mixing beautiful, lush songs. Honey, Come Home features bowed bass, cello, mandolin, acoustic guitar, quiet drums, piano (our baby grand), and Hillary’s beautiful voice (ok, and some lovely harmonies from the dudes too).

Studio A is open again & booking sessions! We’re deep into over 30 years of recording, supporting, and bringing together the Boston music community.

It’s been five years since Mike Denneen aka The It’s been five years since Mike Denneen aka The Sheriff left the building. Check the link in the IG bio for his discography on Spotify - check it out and let us know where you land… guster, letters_to_cleo, fountainsofwaynesworld, and so so many amazing artists, songs and albums. Photos by Tom Dube (soundslingertom) and Lisa Garner.
Aside from all the rockers, fantastic players, pro Aside from all the rockers, fantastic players, producers, engineers, and musicians we meet, we also host a wide variety of talented artists from other walks of life. Yesterday we hosted Chris and Mel (bgsandsculptures)- award winning sand sculpture artists who were in recording some VO for a future show about their art. It was a treat to hear a little about their craft!  Seen here with chuck.hargreaves and me, mr.distorter.

Not just the rug, but recordingstudiodesigner and Not just the rug, but recordingstudiodesigner and soundwallconstruction really pulled this room together and helped get Q3.0 to the cover of mixonlineig (though in all fairness there was a large crew that helped open this place!). If you haven’t heard, our new Studio A is open for tracking and mixing. Read all about it in Mix Magazine, or drop us a line, swing by, or visit the website!
Here’s a Timelapse of the new studio being put t Here’s a Timelapse of the new studio being put together…. 18 months in an easy 37 seconds. That’s chuck.hargreaves on drums recorded by mayorqdiv and put together by me mr.distorter.
theproblemwithkidstoday spent a long weekend in St theproblemwithkidstoday spent a long weekend in Studio A along with veteran (and honorary former townie) producer adamlasus - we're looking forward to welcoming them back in May! jbmoney33 at the board and photos by me, mr.distorter 🙂 
And oh, btw.... 
WE'RE NOW FINALLY BOOKING STUDIO A - STARTING FROM THIS WEEKEND WE'RE FREAKING OPEN AGAIN!
On our (very long) way to opening our doors to the On our (very long) way to opening our doors to the general public (APRIL 15th!) we've been hosting sessions and working out some kinks. willdaileyofficial was kind enough to put up with our incomplete status and brought in a crew of fantastic musicians to track his new album. It was a bit of a trial by fire - we envision this room being used exactly this way - folks together in a room - tracking live, using all of the various acoustic spaces and isolation booths. Will's band included fancyassmusic, rohrjames, valauskased, joewmcmahon, codynilsen, ken.clark.1694, a.sternmusic, brophydrums, with jbmoney33 engineering (and of course alongside Coco - one of the finest studio pups!). They knocked out a bunch of tunes and gave us a real good feel for what's working and what could be better. 
AND - not only did they record a bunch of tunes, they even live-streamed the session a couple of times a day, so folks could tune in and get a front row seat and witness the process - unvarnished, unfiltered. Check out some of these photos that I (mr.distorter) took.
Here's our big news... Studio A is ready! At long Here's our big news... Studio A is ready!
At long last, we’re looking forward to introducing you to our new 2800 square feet of our main recording room.
Q’s Neve 8068 is spic and span - inside and out (more of the restoration story soon), and we have a big - currently lonely- live room that’s waiting to be filled with you. The performance studio includes a large high-ceiling central space, a sizable live isolation room (we’re calling it The Drum Room), and a very dead room we’re calling The Piano Room. We’ve prioritized sight lines between all these rooms and also into the control room. There are two additional small isolation booths for amps, and an area we’re calling “The Inspiration Wall” which we find visually and acoustically… um… inspiring.
So give us a call - after almost two years of working on this space - we’re looking forward to hearing you in it!
FAQ’s:
When?
We’re now booking sessions starting from April 15th and beyond.
Where?
171 Rindge Ave. It's behind 169 Rindge and across from the Reservoir Church.
Parking?
You can reach us easily from three MBTA stops - Porter Square, Davis Square, and Alewife. We have limited parking in our driveway for artists, and there’s a bit of guest/non-permit parking in the neighborhood. More details on our website.
How Much?
We’ve built a brand new facility and put an incredible amount of effort into restoring the Neve, and well - the world’s come a long way since 1986 - so our rates have gone up. BUT - while we’re still building Studio B, we’re offering an introductory rate. Check in with Ed or any of us via email or phone for all the details.

So some of the old artwork just won’t make it to So some of the old artwork just won’t make it to a wall in the new studio, no reason it can’t live forever here, right? This is an excellent First Aid For Choking poster from the New York Health department that hung in the B dining room area for a while. It’s worth zooming in for the user mods.
