Overview

LnL Recording is a privately owned and operated multi-track recording studio located in Elgin, Illinois. We specialize in producing high quality audio recordings for local musicians. If your goal is to record and release your own independent CD, then you've come to the right place. We can produce a fully mixed and mastered product for you - ready for duplication. Or perhaps you just need a professional sounding demo in order to pitch your music to publishers, record companies, A&R reps or local club owners. We can provide what you need!

The majority of the work we do here involves local rock bands (metal, pop, punk, etc.) but we've also recorded quite a few blues, jazz and country bands. Also gospel, folk and karaoke. We'll book just about any style of music although we are currently not accepting any of the modern urban R&B/Hip Hop styles or generally anything that is specifically synth/sample-based. 

Please take a few moments to read through the Rates & Terms and FAQ sections of our website. This should answer most of your immediate questions. If you have other questions, don't hesitate to call or email us directly. Contact information appears at the bottom of this page. Thanks for visiting and we hope that you will choose LnL Recording for your upcoming recording project.

Our studio proudly uses Samplitude Pro V10 and Sonar Producer 8 as our primary recording/audio editing applications. We also use Sonic Core Scope Pro recording hardware and software. These products are installed in a customized Wintel Core 2 Duo computer workstation which has been configured specifically for multi-track audio recording.

Detailed information about the various products that we use can be found by clicking on the icons below.
