About Us

Many musicians incorrectly think that going into the studio means that a third-party producer will dictate how they will play their music and force his vision upon them. A producer by name is a person or party who controls the direction of the music and acts as the "brains" behind the final product, much like a director steers the course of a film production. It is the job of the producer to control the collaborative process and steer the recording toward a fruitful conclusion. An engineer, however, simply records the music as well as some of the preliminary mixing. Their purpose is to translate the ideas of the artist from live performance to the recorded form with as much sonic clarity as desired.

At O Zone Lair, our main goal is to give the artist a comfortable and creative environment that will allow him to record at his own pace and with his own vision. In many ways, the artists themselves are the producers at O Zone. We are only interested in a making final product that completely satisfies those performing it. That said, we will gladly offer our input-- if it helps the artist in finding the way to that perfect recording.

We offer in-house musicians, a wide variety of musical instruments and recording gear, recreational activities for time out of the studio, and even lodging for longer projects if needed. If you are interested in recording at O Zone Lair, please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns, and we will promptly get back to you about setting up some time.
