Tracking music is our specialty and we are always ready for a challenge. An excellent variety of gear is at your fingertips and we are happy to provide you with additional instruments and amplifiers.

At The Compound we don't want to change the way you sound, we only want to make you sound your best. Having begun his career as a music producer, Joe Clements is always excited work with bands at any stage of their music's development.
MIXING

Already have your music recorded and need someone to put all the pieces together? We can wrap it all up in a nice little package. We'll even put a pretty bow on it.

MASTERING

A critical step in the process, mastering can easily make or break a recording. With a fully equipped mastering station, we can tweak your record so that it sounds amazing on all types of speaker setups. Whether you want it to sound great on mp3 or killer with a sub, we can help you create the final product you desire.

GUITAR and BASS - SET UP / REPAIR

In a situation as critical as making a record, where your guitar will be listened to and judged with scrutiny, you want your instrument to play and sound it's absolute best. 

Our in-house luthier (Guitar Tech) has obtained certification in guitar craft from Musicians Institute, Hollywood CA, and has been doing freelance work for a number of years, so you can be confident your guitar is in good hands.

we have a nice low price of $35 per guitar (not including price of strings).  We want to offer a price conducive to having multiple instruments serviced, so everyone can have their instruments working and sounding great on the recording.
Our setups are complete and thorough. The check list includes: general cleaning, fret board conditioning (unfinished fret boards only), fret dressing and polish, neck relief (truss rod) adjustment, string height (action) adjustment, intonation, and nut height adjustment (bone, plastic and synthetic nuts only).
