Boulder’s Violet Recordings Seeks to Help Build Music Community
by Tim Wintemute
When non-musicians listen to music they often do not notice sound quality, unless the quality is bad. So it is important for musicians to make sure their recordings are high quality and do not make the average music fan cringe. The problem is that in order to get a high quality recording, both the studio and the engineer need to be great yet many bands do not wisely choose their engineer or end up paying too much.
Violet Recording in North Boulder was built from the ground up with the goal of creating a community of knowledgeable musicians. Last January, Scott Higgins opened Violet Studios in Boulder with the help of Chris Wright and Darren Roebuck, having the goal of being the best value in the area. Higgins, Roebuck and Wright have a combined 80+ years of experience in both audio engineering and in designing audio equipment and have each opened and operated studios in the past.
The studio serves various purposes including high quality audio recording, editing, mixing, mastering, video production, voice over recordings and more. Violet studios has various vintage microphones and preamplifiers designed to address the shortcomings of modern digital recording.
The team at Violet Recording want to be a resource to all musicians and want to build a friendly community. Both artists and engineers can hire the studio and can have access to the studio’s audio recording equipment and recording software.
Violet Recording also want to recognize great recordings from Colorado, and are currently asking for local musicians and engineers to email their recordings including where they recorded the track. The best ones will be featured on their website and social media, along with being in the new Violet podcast.
