The Studio
Rambler Records in a small, independent, recording and mixing studio designed and built by myself, Chris Ingham, for the purpose of creating high-quality recordings on-demand; with the added benefit of being able to continually tweak and improve the sound conditions and tone - without the price tag of renting out traditional studios.
Vocals, Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Bass, Keyboards, and virtually any instrument can be captured, through quality microphones and preamps, in a comfortable, inspiring environment. Drums can also be recorded using an in-house electronic kit, or through one of our partner studios for those using an acoustic kit.
The studio is equipped with an impressive list of music production equipment including WARM and ART Tube preamps as well as microphones from BLUE, Sennheiser, Audio-Technica, and more. Mixing equipment includes WARM Audio outboard gear as well as ProTools and Logic, and UAD, FabFilter, and Waves plugins.

Acoustic drums can also be recorded at one of our partner drum locations, in Nashville, TN.
