Our relationship with Hyde Street
The way in which Project Haze records their music is by coming to the studio often to get their songs to sound as professional as possible. Hyde Street studios are the best place to get your music recorded in San Francisco. Numerous big-name artists such as Kanye West, Green Day, One Republic, and Cake have recorded there for memorable projects. They have a bunch of resources that can be utilized for any audio purposes.
Studio A is where we usually record our projects. The room can handle any audio needs. We record everything from a full-size grand piano, to a full-size drum kit. In the beginning, we would record the entire band together to a click. Then we would overdub each instrument accordingly. This strategy of recording works great since it’s the standard method for recording bands, but we wanted to evolve into something a little more creative.
Now with the help of our producer, Will Chason, we’re able to record much more detailed sound from our home recordings so we can take our time in getting the perfect take. We also felt like we have a lot more freedom in the production process with experimentation of instrumental plugins and mixing software. Hyde Street is now a tool we use to get final touches done for mixes, record instruments that would be harder for us to do at our homes such as a full-size grand piano or orchestras, and master our tracks so they can be radio-ready.
The way in which Will Chason works with the band enhances the recording experience. His role in Project Haze is to be somewhat of a mentor to the band providing his expertise to the writing process. His overall knowledge in the music industry has evolved the band to think more diligently when recording music for singles or albums. We often communicate when we’re stuck in the writing/home recording process, which he will give us insight on what to do for the project. Will has worked with big-name artists such as One Republic, and Kanye West. Will has actually been a part of Kanye’s recent project ‘DONDA’ playing a big part in the production of the album.
