UNDER A DEAD SKY...there an Akron band bro!

The last chord has been captured, the last edit is complete, gang vocals are in, equalizers and compression is set, plug-ins are activated, the mixer has been locked, and the master is finalized...if you haven't caught on yet, the new full length from Under a Dead Sky is complete! It has been a long but fun and exciting 3 months, and an event that I will never forget. These guys have put there heart and sole into this album and I am honored to have been a part of it. Check them out on facebook as soon as you get a chance. They are going to have three songs posted by 6pm tomorrow. 

We are thinking of picking up a couple Shure sm81's for acoustic, piano, and overheads. Well see! If you want to donate to the cause we won't complain! 8D

We will be recording a single for Akron's own up and coming actress/musician Kelly Rodgers. She is a very talented singer/ songwriter and I am excited to hear what she has for us! Update Later....

Other then that, we just want to thank everyone for there continuing support!

Guitar Squeals n' 808's

Well, its almost done.... the long awaited album from Under a Dead Sky/ the first full length project we have done at Click. Though it has been a fun group to work with and they are all amazing musicians, I think we are all happy to see this day coming. Yesterday, I (Corey) met up with Matt, Sean, and Paul to go through a final listen and to place 808''s (or booms, or drops, or whatever term you want to use). The meeting went really well,  and we finalized the order of the CD. We now get to enter the fun task of mastering the album with our good friend and amazing producer Will Clark. He has an amazing ear and I'm excited to see what level he brings this album too. I believe that UADS is looking at a release date of March 5 with a show in PA, so this will all be done very soon. Just check our website for audio when we are done.

Now for the shameless plugging!

We have a few specials coming up! we will be announcing shortly a contest for some free studio time, so stayed tuned for more info on that. Also the February special is still available to the first artist whom responds (see our facebook page for details). Also, Nick is offering a special service for drummers wanting to produce drum videos for youtube/ promotions. Quality video recording and fully produced drum tones $40 a song. If you have any other inquiries please let us know!

And....we have new business cards! woooo!

First Blog

Welcome!
We felt that it would be fun to set up a blog to give a little more insight to what goes on inside Click. If you are unfamiliar with us ill give you a brief rundown of who we are...

Click Studios was created in the fall of 2010 by Corey Stoffer (me!) and Nicholas McCabe. For years both of us have been working on our own as freelance engineers in small home studios. I had meet Nick through my friend Matt a few years back and we quickly started playing in bands together (Torchlight Parades, The Fainter Corvus). Throughout this time we worked on a few different recording projects and realized that our goals were the same, and that we worked well together. So in September of 2010, we got together with Jakob Ward of Dreamstate Records and opened up Click Studios at the infamous 720 Grant St. location.

Things are happening REALLY fast. In the past few months we have updated a lot of our equipment and have been working on expanding our live room. We have worked with a few artist putting together mix-tapes and demos. And we are finishing up on the first full length production next week. We are loving every minute of this and we are excited to see what 2011 has in store for us.

We have a listening session with the guys from Under a Dead Sky tonight to go over some post production notes for there full length. This album, being the first full length/ full production we have done at Click, is sounding amazing. The guys from UADS are amazing musicians and artist and really know how to have a good time. It really has been a pleasure to get to know them and work with them. be on the lookout for the release of the album in the spring! (we'll keep you updated).

And...we are currently booking for February and beyond with some killer deals! and be on the lookout for a contest for some free studio time as well!
