Record with us

Current day technology has far surpassed any of the expectations held by previous generations. Recording equipment has become portable and more affordable than anytime before. However there is still a noticeable difference between the quality of sound you will get out of a home set up compared to a high quality studio. Environment and acoustics as well as a plethora of different instruments and equipment makes a world of a difference when making music to compete in the highly competitive world of the music industry. Aside from having our own top of the line studio in Downtown Chicago, we also have close ties with the biggest studios in Chicago and can accommodate any type of musical act.

The most important thing in creating music is having a top quality Audio Engineer. A talented engineer can bridge the gap between a lack luster set up and a talented musician, but an engineer with all the right tools at his disposal? Is unstoppable. Trap Door has made a concerted effort to recruit only the best engineers in the city, and have succeeded in doing just that. As a result our clients are paired with engineers matching their talents and abilities.

Need beats? Making music can be expensive especially when you have to pay for the compositions you’re singing or rapping over. Many artists attempt to circumvent this process by finding “Type Beats” on youtube and ripping them off the internet, however a serious musican will find that this creates bigger roadblocks down the line if and when a song gains serious traction. Without an agreement in place these famous internet producers will come back and claim ALL royalties to the song, and in case you decide to purchase a generic lease from these beat stores you will find these agreements are pre filled with a majority of revenue going to the producer. It is often difficult or impossible to actually communicate with these producers to arrange a more favorable agreement, so more often than not you will accept the generic agreements terms in order to use the song. Trap Door has several producers at our disposal and can connect them with artists for a favorable agreement to both parties.

We offer a variety of recording packages. Plan your next EP or Album with us and get considerable price reductions on studio time, as well as beats to record over. Or you can simply book a session at a time. We also offer financing options so that you can invest in yourself and stop putting off chasing your dreams!
