Thank you to @fallingfrogstudios Nessa is an amazingly talented audio engineer, very surprised that we were her first heavy band, because she absolutely nailed the mix.
@ergi_band spent the day at @fallingfrogstudios in South Portland yesterday recording an actual factual 4 track ep. We managed to get everything tracked in one day and after getting the mix 90% done on one of the songs it is sounding so much better than we ever could've hoped for, huge, heavy, and professional. I highly recommend working with Nessa at falling frog, super affordable and incredible results for a diy setup, she knows what she is doing!
Was a pleasure to work with Nessa @fallingfrogstudios to record @ergi_band 4 track EP! We got everything tracks in one day and almost a final mix on one. She captured our sound so well. It sounds huge! I was surprised to hear it was her first heavy project…nailed it! Highly recommend her to anyone who needs some tracking and mixing done! She knows what’s up! Can’t wait to release this EP! Cheers!

"My band Beach Broads recorded our upcoming album at Falling Frog Studios in South Portland, and it is a cozy and creative space to make music with an excellent setup. Nessa is incredibly knowledgeable, and knew how to capture the sound we were looking for. The environment there is fun and a safe place to make lots of mistakes and be creative. We’re excited to record there again once we have more material!"
