Come hang out and let us capture your performance in an awesome sounding (and looking) space on video.

You set up and perform, we'll capture pro-audio. We have a list of trusted videographers that we've worked with, or bring your own!

We have plenty of sweet spots to shoot and record: the main cabin room with wood walls and big windows, a retro inspired loft, a cozy bedroom, porch and meadow with epic mountain views, and a scenic wooded area.

Here are some projects that have done just that in the past.

mixing services

Mixing turns your recorded tracks into a polished final product. Mixing is a separate service we offer—it’s all about balancing levels, adding effects, and shaping the sound to bring your vision to life. 

We mainly mix projects recorded at the cabin, but we’re happy to work with tracks from other studios or home recordings too!

Sill & Glade is perfect for bands looking to get away to record an album, folks looking to track live drums in a great sounding room, songwriters looking for a cozy, vibey space to record, or for video projects with pro audio. CJ especially loves recording and mixing drums and electric guitar with effects, but he’s all in on any project that he's working on.

Do you have recommended videographers, photographers, etc?
