| The layout and acoustical design of Hit and Run Recording allows for a band to set up as they would for a show or band practice while at the same time, achieves a recording that has all of the good qualities of a professional studio recording combined with the live energy intensity of a group playing together all at once. Four independent headphone mixes allow the musicians to monitor the other players clearly.
During most sessions at Hit and Run Recording, the majority of groups over dub their vocals (so that there is less "bleed" of other louder signals into the vocal mics), but to give you an idea of the professional sound quality of a full band recording all at the same time, listen to "Go Go Audio Clip #1" on the Audio - Gallery page, where the five vocalists were situated in the 150 sq.foot vocal booth and recorded at the same time with the band. Another audio example where the vocals were recorded at the same time with the full band is the "Alt. Acoustic" band sound clip on the Audio - Gallery page. Both recordings sound clear, well defined and have a "radio" professional quality.
