Welcome to Riff Mania Records, your gateway to artistic success. We’re more than just a mobile recording studio—we also operate our own indie record label. We help you develop your band’s image based on your unique needs. Whether you’re after a demo CD, a band manager through The Band Lands Management Group to secure more gigs, high-quality CD design with graphics, or a record label, we offer customizable solutions tailored to you. This level of flexibility is rare in the recording industry. We can even assist in creating an official website to showcase your band’s identity. While many bands use Facebook and YouTube for promotion, having a personalized website is essential for serious growth, and we’re here to support you in building one. Our mobile recording studio lets bands record in their usual practice space, often using their own equipment, eliminating the hassle of transporting gear to a studio. Plus, with initial recordings done on-site and final mixing and mastering completed in our studio, we provide an affordable option for bands. This approach is perfect for creating demos that help you book more gigs and grow your presence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you accept internships?
A: See our Employment page for information about employment and internships at Riff Mania Records.
Q: Do you do CD duplication?
A: We do very small quantities of CD's for playback reference for our clients in house. We also regularly accept outside work for duplication CD's in small quantities for onsite production. But we are not set up to do mass duplication. However, we can handle these needs and you should discuss options with us using outside companies we work with at great rates.
Q: How did we get a particular sound on a particular recording?
A: With so many projects passing through our studio, it is often hard for us to recall exactly what techniques/processing, etc. were used on a specific song.
Q: What type of music do you specialize in?
A: We specialize in recording. It would be hard to find a style of music that would not record but rock, metal and alternative are our preferred types but we will record rap, classical, etc. We also record voiceovers for commercials, film and audio books.
Q: How much does it cost to record a CD? Do a demo? Master a CD?
A: Determining an exact price on what any given studio project will cost typically requires quite a few questions regarding your project.
Q: Do I need my own equipment or will you supply it?
A: Typically we suggest you use your own effects, guitars, basses, keyboards etc. However, we prefer to use electronic drums when ever possible for recording clarity. We know some people prefer using acoustic drums and we will try to accommodate those needs when necessary. We bring our own microphones, mixers, portable sound booth and other equipment needed for recording your band to ensure the best quality recording of your song(s).
