Bim-Bom is a cozy and sizable place to record a live band or collaborate with an engineer on a recording project.

The live room is about 1,200 square feet with 13 foot tall ceilings, maple wood flooring, and outfitted with rugs and baffles to achieve various acoustic goals. The control room is completely isolated from the live room with a two separate door enclosures and a narrow room in between the two spaces.

For live band tracking, amps can be run down to the basement for isolating drums. Upstairs, in the live room, is a professional isolation booth for recording single instruments for a professional noise-free recording environment (vocals, voice-over, delicate acoustic instruments, isolating amps, etc). Monitoring is done typically with headphones (Furman system) or with PA speakers if headphones are not preferred.

I like to have conversations about each session well in advance, so that when an artist, collaborator, or band comes in to record most things are already set up and nearly ready to go. Sessions usually run from 11am-7pm for a full day session, but I can always start an hour earlier or later if need be. Half days can be any 4-hour block of time in a given day between the hours of 9am-6pm.

The space is right off of the 77 CTA bus, and is on the first floor with easy load in and parking if you drive. There is a kitchenette with a fridge, coffee, tea, etc. and there are grocery stores and lots of food spots within a 2-3 minute walk of the space.
