“Man, that’s the first studio I’ve been in that doesn’t feel like I’m in a cave!”

—Dennis (harmonica)

Record an Audition

Recording an audition for that symphony, music school or summer arts camp? Creating the strongest demo CD is about being as comfortable and natural as you can – both with the material, and with the recording environment. So rehearse hard. Then relax and leave the rest to our recording engineer.

At Backthird Audio, we’ve made demo tapes and audition CDs for everyone from professional flautists to high-school opera singers. Our large room makes your voice or acoustic instruments sound their best. It’s also classy, comfortable and naturally lit, so you’ll feel and perform your best. We’re also one of the only studios in Chicago’s western suburbs with a grand piano – and we charge you nothing extra to use it.

Most demo recordings can be completed in a single session. You'll record, we'll mix and master, and you'll leave with a CD.
