The work
The Work.
Twenty-plus years of records, and the person who made them. Certified is not a room you rent and figure out alone. It comes with an engineer who has been doing this since 2004 and who still gets on stage most weekends.
Behind the desk
Ryan Camaioni.
Owner, engineer, producer
Ryan is not a studio owner who hires engineers. He tracks the session, he mixes it, he masters it, and if the song needs a part nobody in the room can play, he will usually pick something up and play it.
He came up as a player and never stopped being one. He fronts and writes in Gumbo, a New Milford band that folds punk, ska, reggae, funk, and surf into the same set, and he is out playing most weekends. That matters more than it sounds. An engineer who still performs knows what a take is supposed to feel like, not just what it should measure.
The work runs wide on purpose. Loud bands cutting live. Rappers stacking hooks and building beats from scratch. Songwriters alone with an acoustic. Podcasters who want their show to sound like a network put it out. The room does not have a favorite genre and neither does he.
Selected work
Some of what has come out of this room.
Bands, rappers, and solo writers. Tracking, mixing, mastering, or the whole record start to finish.
Lost Generation
Tracking and mixing
Connecticut rock.
Deer Nest
Mixing and mastering
Full project work.
Skinny D
Recording and production
One of a long list of local hip hop artists cut in this booth.
That list is a slice, not the archive. Twenty years in one room adds up to a lot of names, and plenty of artists would rather not have theirs on a website. If you want to hear something specific before you book, ask and Ryan will send you a link.
The tour
Walk the rooms before you book them.
Ryan takes you through the live room, the booth, the desk, and the lounge that half the writing ends up happening in.
More than tracking
What else you can book him for.
The studio is the obvious part. These are the things people are usually surprised to learn are already in the building.
Records, start to finish
Tracking, overdubs, vocal production, mixing, and mastering under one roof. You are not handing the project to a stranger halfway through.
Beats and production
Come with a beat or build one here. Ryan produces as well as engineers, so an idea hummed into a phone can leave as a finished record.
Photo and video
A Sony a7 IV and pro glass live in the building. Shoot the music video in the live room, cut performance clips on a session day, or get real press photos while you are already here.
Live sound
The PA, the desk, and the ears are all here. Some people book Ryan for sound alone.
Rehearsal
The live room with a full backline is a rehearsal space when you need one. Tighten the set where you are going to record it.
Not sure which of those you need? Describe the project and Ryan will tell you straight.
