“I love this studio. I don’t think I could have recorded anywhere else and gotten the results I did.”
—Francis Laity
Rock and blues, pop and indie. Music in the Chicago suburbs is alive and well – and one Aurora studio has been recording and serving musicians in that scene for more almost a decade.
The Backthird philosophy: Music will never go out of style. But the scene has changed. It’s less about giant labels and giant acts. It’s more about communities. Marketing is personas – but music is people.
We’ve been investing in the family that is local music since 2003. With one eye on the past and one on the future, we’re committed to equipping and empowering Chicago-area musicians – because we don’t succeed unless you do.
We’ve worked with college acts like Red Reserve, grunge acts like ALMA, proven live draws like HOSS and The Kevin Trudo, and inventive up-and-comers like Andrea Dawn and Jeremy Keen. If you’re considering Backthird Audio for your next recording, you can call 630-264-2366 to set up a meeting. We’ll talk through the scope and vision of your project, suggest a few different approaches at different budget levels, and find out which of our producer-engineers is the best match for your music.
