-Welcome to Independent Music Studios-

Professional Recording Studio in Utah

Needing to do some recording in Salt Lake City, Utah area? Here at Independent Music Studios offers recording solutions not available anywhere else. Located next door to Guitar Center in Taylorsville, we are conveniently located. We offer recording financing, an industry first as far as we are aware. And we also operate a 24/7 internet radio station broadcasting worldwide, the music of the artists we record. What else makes Independent Music Studios different? Is our approach to the recording process.

Each sound engineer has a slightly different approach to how they record music. Just like every musician has a slightly different approach to playing their instrument. In fact, in most cases the sound engineer should be considered a part of a band as they have a great deal of influence over the outcome of your sound. A good sound engineer is able to achieve more than just a professional sonic quality. A good sound engineer is able to help you achieve the most out of your performance through supporting and creating a comfortable and energetic creative environment.

For this reason, we at IMS take a “performance first” approach to recording. Because if the performance is bad, the recording will be bad. As part of creating a comfortable and relaxed environment, Independent Music Studio is has sought to balance a live and comfortable acoustic environment where the musicians can feel connected to each other while recording. In a pressure free environment, bands are able to work in an efficient and creative atmosphere.

Another way we help you concentrate on your performance is to take the focus off the time clock. Bands are always worried about cost – naturally. We have designed our studio to operate without overkill. Bands today don’t need 60 channel boards and an unlimited range of various instruments that no one is going to use. But some studios have these things and you, the local independent musician, have to pay for this overhead. Rather than having to support the studio with high prices, let your studio support you with the best gear without overkill. That is why we have custom tailored our equipment to meet the core needs of a band without all the useless extras.

Our clients are able to achieve more in the same time as compared with other studios because we understand what needs to be done to make the song work, not what makes us look expensive.

We are not benefited by circulating around terrible recordings with our name on them. So we are equally motivated to make sure your final product is top quality, and where the performance comes first. It was Chris Shaw, Bob Dylan’s recording engineer who emphasized this performance first mentality to recording, “I would rather record the worlds best drummer in the world’s worst studio, than record the worst drummer in the best studio.” Let’s help record your best performances together.
