Michael Valdez Trio

February 3, 2020 by Rafi

We really love it when a band plays together – and especially when they do it in front of a camera crew! Check out this sweet video of the Michael Valdez Trio ripping it up in Studio A’s live room. Engineered and mixed by Joel Edinberg, this recording showcases our piano, and our recently modified iso booth, which can keep drums sounding tight and dry.

Karmin – Didn’t Know You

August 12, 2015 by Staff Engineer

Karmin brings a sassy and incredibly dynamic live arrangement of her song “Didn’t Know You” into Q Division’s very own Studio A. Also, looks like she brought her pooch; who’s a good dog?

Berklee Grammy Album of the Year Mashup

February 5, 2015 by Staff Engineer

Berklee students explode into a smooth and grandiose mashup arrangement of the 2015 Grammy Album of the Year nominees, including songs from Ed Sheeran, Beck, Beyoncé, and Pharrell Williams. Recorded with help from our very own James Bridges in Q Division’s Studio A (and at The Record Company), the video features an array of talented musicians paying tribute to the artists who helped shape the way for popular music in 2015.

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).

Thank you everyone for acknowledging Q through the Thank you everyone for acknowledging Q through the BMA’s - we’re lucky and grateful to our incredible engineers, producers, musicians, and interns (a top notch crop from 2015 seen here!), who - through their love of music and musicians - all come together to make recording at Q the special experience it is.

A few weeks ago we took delivery of Mitch Easter’s Chamberlin M1. With analog tapes that are a time capsule from a forgotten era, this magical machine has the sounds of vibes, female voices, male voices, cello, harpsichord, violins, flutes, and french horns... 
We have a bit of an embarrassment of riches of analog tape samplers at Q, but as you might know or can guess, these beasts are incredibly temperamental and not always on their best behavior, but when they're working well there's nothing quite like these incredible machines.
