OAK GROVE RECORDING, the Boston music scene’s best-kept secret!
We
offer big-studio quality with the ambience and personal attention to your
recording projects you’d expect from a smaller studio. Artists come from all over New England and
from other parts of the country specifically to record here.
 We
record all types of music, groups, and solo artists, including rock,
R&B, rap, hip-hop, country, gospel, reggae, metal, blues, classical,
and church and school choirs. Our large (30' x 25') main studio is
custom-designed for bands, and our five isolation booths provide excellent separation of instruments and vocals, to help get that perfect
sound you’ve been looking for.

“Joe
is one of Boston’s best-kept secrets. Seriously. It’s hard to
believe that type of talent and expertise is available for artists
working without big-label backing. If you’re serious about your
work, do yourself a favor and just book some session time—you’ve
got nothing to lose and everything in the world to win.” |

WE
ALSO SPECIALIZE IN SONGWRITERS WITHOUT A BAND! If you’ve got a song,
voice, or instrument but no backup, our  versatile staff producer, Joe
Laquidara (a.k.a. L. A. Joe), can back you up professionally on a variety
of instruments. We can even provide vocalists if you don’t sing! We can
help you finish writing and / or developing your songs and help arrange them
to fit the market you’re going for. Joe has produced hundreds of
projects on which he’s played some or all of the instruments. He’s
worked on albums and CDs that went gold and platinum and on numerous
projects that have made it up the charts.

“All
I have had is rave reviews about the CD Oak Grove Recording produced
for us. Joe really helped to capture the essence of Celebration! His
suggestions helped to make us better as vocalists and musicians as
well as producing a cookin’ tape. We can’t wait to have [Joe] do
our next CD!” |

WE
DON’T JUST RECORD MUSIC! Among other spoken projects we’ve done are
narrators and storytellers, comedy CDs, parodies,  impressionists,
meditation tapes and CDs, and numerous film projects. We’ve recorded
voiceovers for ad campaigns, political campaigns, and Public Service
Announcements. We’ve done demos for voice talent, information pages for
web sites, and religious works and skits for radio and TV.
 We
do live, onsite digital recording—we send an engineer, an assortment of
microphones, a mixing board, and a digital audiotape recorder, with all
the necessary cables and stands. We also offer onsite consultation for
projects you can’t bring to us, to help you achieve the best quality
available on your system.
Our
other services include audio transfers from tape to CD, cleanup of old or
poorly recorded material, mastering, arranging, and composition.
And we can hook you up with the best in duplication and graphic design
services.

“Joe,
the work you did on The Thousand Yard Stare is beyond
anything I believed independent artists could have access to. You
are an artist in the purest sense, agonizing over the smallest
detail to realize the breadth of a song—giving life to what was
once just a state of mind. Thank you for helping Twice Twenty
realize our potential. Thank you for the good heart you have; it was
a privilege to be in the company of a true master of his craft.”
