Waupaca's Chain-O-Lakes Recording studio has been helping artists across Wisconsin "get their music out" since 2003, providing the equipment, the musical support, and the encouragement they need to realize their dream of recording.

If you've wanted to record, but have little or no studio experience, you may be a little apprehensive about taking the leap--and that would be perfectly understandable!  It's not necessarily easy to step into an unfamiliar environment and try to give your best performance.  But helping you walk through the process, with whatever support you need, is exactly what Chain-O-Lakes Recording is all about.  This is your studio and your support system.


Any good studio will provide standard studio services include tasks such as recording (or "tracking"), digital editing, mixing, and mastering.  Chain-O-Lakes Recording not only provides these services at a professional level, but for the same basic studio rate, will provide any or all of the following that you may need to make your project the best it can be:

• Help with completing or arranging your songs
• Professional piano or guitar accompaniment
• Musical performance coaching
• Access to a statewide network of professional instrumentalists
• Practical guidance with often-misunderstood areas of copyright, CD manufacturing options, niche marketing and artist promotion.

How is this possible? When you record at Chain-O-Lakes, you work directly with Mike Barden, a gifted music producer with over 25 years of experience as a performer, band member, composer, arranger, teacher, and musical director.

Please feel free to take a look around, learn more about the studio, meet some of the satisfied clientele, listen to samples, and email Mike if you have any further questions.
