About Us

GREETINGS!
We are Standard Electric Recorders Co. After 4 wonderful years of making memories and music on Memorial Drive, we’ve been “movin’ on up” as they say. We’re now residing in a historic church in Sunny Scottdale, GA! Originally built in 1908, the former Greater Mt. Zion Full Baptist Church was lovingly built out in the summer of 2020, and is now home to the new Standard Electric COMPOUND.

COMPOUND?!
Well, sort of. Our new facility is not only the new home of our heavenly recording studio. Also inhabiting the space is the most fantastic live sound engineer/electronics repair/drum slinger extraordinaire/instrument setup and sales/Andrew-of-all-trades that we know. Welcome to SUSTAIN. Is your guitar not singing quite as sweetly as you’d like? Does your amplifier make funny sounds? Has your drummer really “lost their head”? A quick walk down the hall, and all becomes well again.

A NEW PLACE TO LEARN
Lastly (but most adorably), the choicest of children’s music programs, Little Treblemakers, has also joined us at the new facility. Miss Sydney and her staff are on-site delivering Atlanta’s finest music instruction for children (and all humans ages 0-100), every day!

FIELD DAY
So, what can you, our valued client and artist, expect on a typical day working at Standard? Good question. In no particular order: a comfortable and unique atmosphere, righteous tones, more random vintage gear than you can shake a stick at, an incredible golden hour, inspiration-a-plenty, children singing Tom Petty down the hall, an enjoyable lunch (at your own expense!), maybe a bit too much musical philosophizing, an electronics lesson, a pretty nice little courtyard, and most of all, people that are only here to help you create your best work possible.

THE KEYS TO SUCCESS
In an effort to make sure we are able to fulfill all of these promises to you, we have developed a system to keep everyone on their toes and creative at all times. We call this THE STANDARD METHOD™, and it has four tenants or "checkboxes" that must be ticked in order to be considered successful. To apply the method to your creative process, you simply ask yourself, "Is this work: honest, challenging, timeless, & relevant to both myself and the listener?" You don't have to work this way, but we find that it pretty much works 99% of the time for us over here, 100% of the time.

A KIND ADIEU
After over a decade serving the Atlanta music industry, I’d like to personally say thank you to all who have walked through these doors, wherever they have swung — in the present or in the past. We all look forward to many more years of making wonderful sounds with you.

See you on the cutting room floor, friends.
