BACKSTORY

I became interested in virtual studios as an inexpensive way to breaking into the world of recording and production in 1998.  In 2006, I started Sharky's Studios and began recording my own music and the music of others.  During January of 2007, I started producing my first project with a local band called SR.  They're a local group of teenagers that were writing and performing their own music.  They brought me some rough stuff they had recorded.  I worked with them to develop the songs and record them.  Below are some samples of what their music was when they brought it to me and how it sounded when we finished the project.  You can contact me via email at bob@bobhughesmichigan.com or by calling 947.517.9256.

In 2008, I partnered with Uptown Studios, in Owosso, MI, to allow for more recording space and flexability.

Other artists that I've recorded are; The Donny Hartman Band, The Georgre Schwedler Trio, 3rd and Soul, Gunsmoke, Wildhair, Who Knew?, The Baytones, Sacred Heart Church Choir and many others. 

SAMPLES - The "before" tracks were recorded at a studio in Harrisville, MI.  The "after" tracks were recorded at my studio.  Keep in mind that the singer turned 14 during recording.  The rest of the band was 15 and 16 years old.

I suggest that you download the clips and play them on a decent sounding system.  Your computer speakers won't do anything justice.
