The Lab.Audio recording and production in Hilo

Tracking · Songwriting · Editing · Mixing · Mastering

Record your next project in The Lab with our engineer Drew Zaragoza. Whether you have a finished song or half a chorus and a feeling, the session starts with a conversation.

What happens in here

From first take to final master.

Every project is different, so The Lab covers the whole road: get the song written, get it tracked, get it edited, mixed and mastered. Take the full ride or jump in wherever your project stands, and more services are on the menu too. Just ask Drew.

And because the studio lives inside the shop, strings, cables, heads and backup instruments are a few steps from the mic.

The session setlist

  • TrackingGet the takes down, instrument by instrument
  • SongwritingShape the song before the red light goes on
  • EditingComp, tighten and clean up the takes

And more. Tell Drew what your project needs and he will tell you what it takes.
