Zhyto started recording their first full length album here at Taylor Sound in February and has been nothing but good times. Polka music has that effect.

hearback-monitoring-system
Recently Taylor Sound purchased the Hear Back System by Hear Technologies. This incredible system allows each individual artist to control his or her own headphone mix. So no more are the days of “Hey, I need more guitar”, or “Hey, can you turn down the guitar please?”. No, those days are gone.

Each pod, as shown below, has dedicated channels for individual instruments, including talk back channel to the engineer. When an artist has control of their sounds and volumes it boasts for a better performance, which is key in every recording session.

Atacama Republic Releases First EP.
The sudden snow storm wasn’t enough to keep away fans of Calgary Rock Band, Atacama Republic during their self-titled release, March 3, 2012 at Shooters Bar and Grill in Calgary, Alberta. Great party, great guys.
This band has been recording with Taylor Sound since their inception, first demoing up their songs during our mobile recording days, long before the opening of the studio. They are great to watch live, and are hard-working humble guys who love to play music.
We look forward to working again with AR starting at the end of March this year. The band are continuously writing songs and are motivated and focused in creating a full length, great sounding album.
