At
Shuman Recording, your vision and your ideas are realized.
Careful
attention to detail and years of hands-on knowledge and
experience are given to every project that we do. We understand
that your recordings are important time capsules and that
you want them to sound and feel great for years to come.
The recording environment at Shuman is comfortable yet arranged
in a way that maintains efficiency and inspires creativity
at the same time.
We
keep our customers happy and satisfied by accommodating
all possibilities.
According to Owner/Engineer Scott Shuman, the clientele
of Shuman Recording is quite varied and eclectic. Scott
says, "We have done Spoken word, World music (a la
Ethiopia), Jazz, Bluegrass and off site recordings of everything
from large classical productions in Washington, to location
recordings of Blues and R&B in St. Louis and the mid
west."
We
also understand musicians and their needs.
"As
a younger musician, I would record in studios where the
engineers would try to get my music to sound like they thought
it should sound. That’s when I got into engineering.
Musicians have their own vision, and I think it’s
important to respect that."
Because
of our commitment and close personal relationships with
our clients, the studio has been booked and consistently
busy for almost 12 years. We have a long list of customers
who keep coming back including IONA, the premier Pan Celtic
band, the notable conductor Clifford Hardin and Singer Songwriters
Mike Johns and James Manion. Shuman recording consults to,
and does much of the digital remastering for Time Life Music,
and works on a daily basis with many of the other major
record labels.
