About Four Little Birds

A purpose-built recording studio designed and constructed by NILES, a Nashville studio design/build firm. Room-within-a-room construction, non-parallel walls in the live room, custom wood paneling, and retractable curtains for variable acoustics. A small room built correctly, not a spare room with foam on the walls. Track a full band live with real isolation: drums in the live room, guitar amp in the isolated amp closet, vocalist or DI in the control room. All at once, all doors closed, no bleed. THE ROOMS - Live room: non-parallel walls, retractable curtains to move from tight to more live, 12 tie lines - Control room: 2 tie lines - Amp closet: fully isolated, 2 tie lines - 8' ceilings. Fully controlled lighting with no daylight variance SIGNAL - 16 simultaneous inputs, professionally run through the walls (12 live room / 2 amp closet / 2 control room) - Universal Audio Apollo x8p (8 Unison preamps) chained to an Audient ASP880 (8 preamps), matching the room's 16 tie lines - UAD Ultimate 13: the complete UAD plug-in library. Track through Neve 1073, API Vision, Manley, and UA 610 preamp emulations on the Unison inputs; 1176, LA-2A, Pultec, and Fairchild available while recording. - Line and speaker-level tie lines to every room: run your head in the control room with the cab isolated elsewhere. Re-amping ready. · Logic Pro in-house. Visiting engineers can connect their own machine to the Apollo over Thunderbolt and work in their preferred DAW. MONITORING & CUE - Yamaha HS7 nearfields in the control room - Behringer P16 personal monitoring: three stations in the live room, each player building an independent mix from 16 sources PODCAST READY - 4× Shure SM7B with Cloudlifter/FetHead preamps: a full four-person setup in a properly isolated room, not a treated corner INSTRUMENTS - 1960s Rogers drum kit and a Yamaha Export Series kit: tell us which one you want when you book so we can have it set up and miked before your session starts - Zildjian cymbals - Congas, mics, shakers - 1940s Hammond CV console organ (pre-percussion) through a Leslie 122 cabinet with 147 amplifier. 6-pin connectors · Working mic locker: well-maintained and deep enough to cover a full kit + amps Drummers are welcome to bring their own snare, cymbals, and pedals SESSION SERVICES (optional add-ons) - Use of the recording system with your own engineer - In-house engineering - Session bass, electric and upright: rock, country, jazz, Americana, bluegrass - Production and arrangement GETTING IN - Ground-level covered load-in through the garage. No stairs. - Wifi throughout GOOD TO KNOW - Room-within-a-room isolation makes late-night tracking genuinely possible: evening bookings welcome. - The studio occupies the finished half of the basement of a private home. The unfinished half is available for use 10 a.m. - 9 p.m. - Bathroom is upstairs and requires walking through the living space. - The Hammond CV is pre-percussion. Gorgeous for pads, gospel, soul, and roots material: it won't give you an articulated jazz-organ attack.

Enhanced Health and Safety Measures

Between sessions we disinfect all shared touchpoints: microphone grilles and windscreens, headphones and personal mixers, drum hardware and sticks, the organ keyboard and drawbars, and door handles. Pop filters and windscreens are cleaned or replaced between bookings. Disinfecting wipes and hand sanitizer are available in the control room for guests to use during a session. Bookings are spaced apart so the room can be reset and cleaned properly rather than in a rush.
