“Still can’t get over the sick drum sound I got from this place! We'll be back…”

—Train Company

Punk, metal, rock and hardcore. If you like it loud – we can’t wait to meet you.

When it comes to recording huge-sounding drums, thick distorted guitars and modern, high-energy mixes, Backthird Audio is happy to run with the best in the Chicago suburbs.

Our engineers have spent more than a decade recording rock/metal/alternative music. Combine that experience with a large tracking room, 12-foot ceilings and a locker of high-end microphones and you’ve got an Aurora studio that’s your ideal getaway for getting loud.

Whether you’re a hard rock act, a punk group or a classic metal band, visiting the studio to discuss your recording is the best way to see if we’re a fit for your music. We'll present you with several budget options and find out which of our producer-engineers is the best fit for you.
