Studio 516 is a recording studio in Waxahachie, TX founded by Singer/Songwriter/Producer/Engineer, Alexander Webb. The Studio provides a growing collection of highly sought after recording equipment in an environment that incites creativity. The rustic and warm ambiance makes the high-ceilinged, exposed brick, loft portion of the historic building an ideal location for capturing video footage for visual media projects, recording audio in a dynamic & open live room, or it simply serves as a perfect spot to relax in between recording sessions.
Artists looking for a creative environment to make a professional recording using a variety of top of the line instruments & gear with experienced songwriter, musician, vocalist, engineer, & producer, Alexander Webb, should consider contacting Studio 516 via the contact tab above, the email address, or phone number below to discuss project details and studio availability. Pricing and scheduling are based on the individual project's goals and needs and are agreed upon up front... then we work until the song is done, creating a stress free environment rather than that dreadful "on the clock" feeling that is enhanced by the tick tock of the click track :) Basically we work till it's right.

A Few Words from the Producer
|
"Thanks to years of working with talented musicians, engineers, and producers from Chicago, Nashville, and all over the world in studios of various shapes and sizes, I'm constantly drawing from a large bank of unique learning experiences to solve problems in the studio. Those experiences have helped me develop skills that will make me an asset to your project... among the most valuable being my passion for each musical track and my desire to provide an environment conducive to creativity and ultimately a final product that we will all be proud of. I've had so many bad experiences throwing way too many dollars... which for us artist types are typically very difficult to come by... at big name studios that just acted like being there was such a rare gift from them who cared very little for my music and who constantly watched the clock... or that obscure novel that the engineer was certain made him more interesting than anything I was paying him to work on. Those negative experiences continue to motivate me in serving each song the best that I can, and to experience that one of a kind feeling when we all listen back to the final mix in excitement... thankful to have been a part of bringing such organization and beauty out of silence and nothing. I've also had quite a few great recording experiences and learned a lot of techniques from some world class musicians, engineers, and producers that I'd love to contribute to your project." - Alexander Webb |
