Bux - Why The NatCave Studio Is The Only Studio I Use




Written by Bux Dolla for The NatCave Studio





In my opinion, a studio is a place to substantiate the creative process. In the optimal situation the studio should be used as a tool on your way to a final project.

The studio experience allows an artist to hear the culmination of all the aspects of a particular project and is the first place a project will be heard by others. It also allows for an artist after hearing their work to make changes to the minute, nuances that make a piece perfect to you and also to take in any input, ideas, or constructive critiques of your project. This by far places The NatCave Studio head and shoulders above the "other" studios.

I don't call them competitors because at The NatCave we are family, but first I'll talk business. State of the art equipment and programming from Pro Tools to FL Studio, isolated vocal booth and professional staff, not to mention it's affordable. Ok, business aside, let's talk about people and music. Why do you do music? I don't have one reason why I do it and I'm sure you probably don't either but for some reason I do it and I'm protective of it. Here at The NatCave Studio, creators of the music run the show, not musicians. A musician takes someone else's music and in order for it to be any good they have to make it their own, that's just the nature of the beast, music creators make their own music so they understand the creative process and can give input that will help you further you're own work. The music is your statement and we want to know who you are.

Let's talk flexibility. Have you ever been somewhere and missed one appointment or meeting and felt embarrassed to go back? Well The NatCave Studio understands that people are just that... people. They allow for you to easily change an appointment to suit your needs. This is your project and it will progress at the speed you want it to. I have witnessed and have been guilty of all night marathon sessions where we lock ourselves in and get it done because that is what's needed. You won't get a "No" at The NatCave Studio. As a matter of fact a question asked at The NatCave Studio that starts with"Can you...?" is usually answered with a big smile because I have yet to find something that couldn't be done.

Which leads me to my final thought, Nat. The NatCave Studio has Nat. Any studio without Nat is missing... everything. I can't explain it and if you haven't been to the studio I won't try. That's something you will have to experience for yourself. Once you've been through your first session here you're left feeling "After recording at The NatCave Studio, I will never record anywhere else again. Period." That in itself is reason enough. It was reason enough for me over 10 years ago and the new artist that come in today agree. The NatCave Studio is where ideas become reality.
