The Studio

Rambler Records is a cozy, independent recording and mixing studio, crafted from the ground up by yours truly, Chris Ingham. It’s built to deliver top-notch recordings whenever you need them, with the extra perk of constantly fine-tuning the sound and vibe—without the hefty price of traditional studio rentals. Whether it’s vocals, electric or acoustic guitars, bass, keyboards, or just about any instrument, we capture them all with quality microphones and preamps in a relaxed, inspiring space. For drums, we offer an in-house electronic kit, and if you’re after that classic acoustic drum sound, we’ve got partner studios ready to roll.

 

The studio boasts an impressive lineup of music production gear, featuring WARM and ART tube preamps alongside microphones from BLUE, Sennheiser, Audio-Technica, and others. For mixing, it’s armed with WARM Audio outboard equipment plus ProTools and Logic, complemented by UAD, FabFilter, and Waves plugins.

 

OFFERING SPECIALIZED RECORDING & Production FOR:

Electric Guitars
Rambler Records specializes in recording superb electric guitar tones. What’s the secret? A specially sound-treated amp closet with speaker isolation cabinets, that eliminate outside noise and allow amplifiers to be turned up to their ‘sweet spot’, and Weber Z-Matchers to allow seamless integration of nearly any amplifier.

Bass Guitars
Bass guitars can be recorded direct into WARM Audio preamps, through a Radial, Jensen-equipped, DI box, or through our 1200W Sunn bass amplifier.

Keyboards, Synths, Midi Instruments
From Pianist-accompanied Ballads, Synth-Soaked Funk, Honky-Tonk Piano, to nearly any electric/electronic instrument, you’re covered with WARM Audio preamps, Midi connectivity and top of the line Radial DI boxes specialized for multimedia connectivity.

Vocals & Acoustic Instruments
The isolation booth provides a balanced environment for recording vocals as well as acoustic instruments such as:

  • Acoustic Guitars

  • Folk Instruments

  • Orchestral Strings

  • Brass Instruments

  • Percussion

The signal chain begins with BLUE, Sterling, and Sennheiser microphones and passes through high-quality preamps and hardware from WARM Audio and ART.

Drums
Rambler Records uses an Alesis DM8 electric drum kit to trigger SuperiorDrummer2. With over a dozen world class drum kits (and countless combinations), drum sounds can be tailored to the character of the song; with the feel and performance of a live drummer. Acoustic drums can also be recorded at one of our partner drum locations, in Nashville, TN.

Rambler Records also offers writing and composing for songwriters, poets, rappers and anyone who has a vision but needs a little help to make it a reality. We are musicians and songwriters like you and we love to make music and help other artists take their art to the next level.
