Recording Studio
Lost in Sound's Recording Studio is located just 30 minutes south of downtown Birmingham, in Helena, Alabama. This home studio was completely remodeled from its roots and is equipped with hand-selected, professional recording equipment to make sure your music sounds like YOU at your best. The advice and expertise you'll get from a skilled engineer is invaluable during the recording and mixing processes.
Our studio services include full-band recording, singer-songwriter writing & recording projects, commercial & jingle production, mastering, hip-hop & vocal projects, track/beat production, CD duplication & digital distribution, and more. Need a quick vocal lesson? Need help with a guitar lick? One of our coaches will join us in the studio to make sure your performance shines! Our lead engineer has been involved in songwriting and studio work for many years and is glad to lend his ears and his advice as well.
The Facility
The bottom floor of this home studio has been gutted, redisigned and remodeled from scratch. During the designing and building process, the two main goals were to make it acoustically pleasing and for it to invoke creativity. Our live room is where you go to create! With a piano, drums, organ, bass, several guitars, percussion, wind instruments, and more, all at your fingertips, try NOT making music in the live room! Our isolation booth is great for a tight vocal track or perfect if you really need to crank up your guitar amp! The studio's control room is where the magic happens and, with plenty of seating available, you and your crew can listen to it all go down.

Training
We also provide consulting and training to you as you grow in your recording & production experience. Some artists prefer for everything to be left to the professionals, but we know that many artists would rather record their song ideas on their own time, then bring them into the studio for production, mixing, and mastering. We totally understand. In addition to selling the gear you need to start making and recording your own music, we offer training for recording techniques, room acoustics, and for most major DAW software suites (Pro Tools, Cubase, Nuendo, Logic, Studio One). Contact us for details.

Live Event Production
Lost in Sound is ready to provide sound reinforcement and professional lighting for all kinds of venues: a wide-coverage, quality system for indoor auditoriums, towers of power for an outdoor festival, or a one-speaker system for a small coffee shop. A great P.A. system, pro lighting, and capable engineers can make all the difference between "a band over there on the stage" and a show! Think about some of shows you've seen where you couldn't hear the vocals, the guitar was WAY too loud, or you couldn't see the band because they were in the corner in the dark! Even if the artist or band performs at their best, all is lost if you don't have a great mix and an appropriate visual presentation. That's where we come in; contact us.
Live Recording
We also bring the studio to the stage! Lost in Sound is equipped with a fully mobile recording rig for any of your on-site recording needs. We provide multi-track audio recording and up to a five-camera crew to record HD video, making us the one-stop solution to record your band's live show, your school's upcoming event, even the talent show that your kids are singing at! Files are then taken back to our studio for mixing and formatting. You messed up the solo during the crowd's favorite song? Don't worry, it can still go on the live album! Come into the studio afterward, and we'll overdub (re-record) the solo WITHOUT the drunk guy who kept bumping your guitar.

Pro Audio Sales
Lost in Sound is now a reseller! Please call or email us with any questions you have about our gear. We'd love to help get you going in the right direction for your setup.
QSC - Web Site
We are all about QSC! In addition to their solid history in manufacturing quality amplifiers and line array speakers, their K series, KW series, and KLA series powered speakers have changed the face of live sound in the music industry! With quality parts, innovative design, and groundbreaking DSP technology, it's hard to go wrong with these for any band, house of worship, club, or production company. We use a combination of these three lines of speakers in our live sound rigs. If you haven't heard them, find out when our next show is or contact us for a demo!
RME - Web Site
We proudly carry RME products. We have been using RME audio interfaces since we opened our studio, and believe that they are the best on the market in regards to quality, features, and reliability. Boasting features like TotalMix FX (software control for DSP routing and effects) and DuRec (standalone multitrack USB recording), we can't imagine going back to anything else.
Heil Sound - Web Site
We are a huge advocate of Heil Sound microphones, as they are some of the best dynamic microphones on the market. By using large diaphragm dynamic capsules and knowing their stuff when it comes to phase alignment, Heil's dynamic microphones give the same quality and detail as many high-end condenser microphones, without the feedback issues condenser microphones often cause in a live sound environment!
Line 6 - Web Site
Line 6 is no longer just a guitar gear company! They have had some amazing innovations in the last few years, namely with their digital wireless microphones and wireless instrument systems. We use all Line 6 wireless gear in our rigs, and they have convinced us that there is truly no difference in tone between wired and their digital wireless!
Rapco Horizon - Web Site
Rapco Horizon cables have always given us amazing results. They make rugged, high-quality cables, snakes, direct boxes, and more, and have never turned us down on a custom-made cable or snake order. Becuase of our great experience with RH, we are in the process of changing all of the cables in our PA rigs over to Rapco Horizon cables. Ask us about the Rapco Horizon lifetime warranty!
Distribution
Through distributors, we carry high-end recording hardware/software, and live sound, lighting, and video production equipment from dozens of major brands. Want to see the list of all available brands and product lines?
