Who We Are

DBW Productions Recording Studio

Run by music producer, David Chamberlin

Located in the Los Angeles suburb of Woodland Hills, the studio features a large acoustically tuned control room, large performance room and 2 additional iso booths. The big room has a nice live sound perfect for any instrument and the control room is completely silent, thanks to a separate machine room.

Attention to detail and high quality production.

We're obsessed with making high quality recordings! We eat, sleep and breath music and are constantly improving our equipment and our skills. We use Apple Logic Studio, Digital Performer and Pro Tools 10 in combination with the Apogee Symphony System to achieve world class recording quality. But, the most important thing we offer is our 20+ years of recording experience and our 40 years of being a musician! We have the skills and experience to help coach you into delivering your best performance possible. But don't take our word for it. Go to our Indy CD page where you'll see plenty of folks who have made DBW Productions their home base and read some of their testimonials. We look forward to working with you soon and helping you achieve your musical dreams.Whether your project is a one song demo or a full length CD, DBW uses cutting edge technology and state-of-the -art equipment to achieve the highest quality sound at competitive prices!

What We Do

Our specialty is full production services for Singer/Songwriters.

So, you have a great song and can carry a tune but you don't have a band and don't know how to record. Now what? Well, you've come to the right place! DBW is your one stop shop for producing your demo or CD project. Most all production can be done "in house". This includes expert guitar and bass guitar playing, keyboard and drum programming, lead and backing vocals and even live drums! Using the DBW rhythm section we've produced many CD's for artists giving them a real band sound.

If you need great production then you've come to the right place! Read our FAQ to learn more.

Meet Dave

David Chamberlin | Songwriter | Music Producer | Engineer

Dave has been making music since the age of 5, first starting on guitar and piano and finally on clarinet. Playing the Ohio bar scene at the tender age of 16 Dave ended up relocating to Florida with the band "Dorian Gray" (their drummer was Jani Lane, front man for Warrant). Dave wound up in LA and graduated from Musician's Institute with a degree in advanced guitar playing. While being a full time guitar teacher for 8 years, Dave "stumbled into" recording and decided to make that his main profession. Well, it's now been 14 years since DBW Productions first opened it's doors and Dave has produced countless artists and over 70 Indy CD projects!

Mixing

You record it, we'll mix it!

With the advent of today's home studios, a lot of musicians now have a home studio, which is great. But the thing they don't have is a tuned control room and (more importantly) the experience to do a professional mix. That's where DBW comes in. We can take your self produced tracks and give them a professional mix and even master them so that they sound comparable to today's modern recordings. We'll arrange for you to send us your tracks either via internet (ftp) or the mail on a cd or dvd data disc and will walk you through the process in terms of file formats, etc. We can open native Garage Band, Logic, Digital Performer, Pro Tools and Reaper files. But, it's easy enough for us to work with any DAW format if the tracks are all bounced down correctly. Give your home recording a more professional sound with the help of DBW!

News

This Just in!

We're proud to now offer recording in Pro Tools 10 for those of you who like a studio who keeps current! We also have added the fabulous LASS2 (Los Angeles Scoring Strings) and Steven Slate Drums 4 Platinum (SSD4) to our sample library. The strings offer a whole new level of authenticity in orchestral moch ups and the new drums just have a fantastic "ready to go" sound for a radio ready mix. Speaking of Steven Slate, I also feature his Trigger Deluxe plugin which allows one to replace or enhance live drum tracks. It sounds fantastic as well.

Long time client, Paul McCallum (son of NCIS's David McCallum) is in recording his 2nd CD. This time around it's a beautiful jazz CD featuring some of LA's top session musicians. Look for it to be out later this year. In the meantime, here's some live footage from a recent recording session here at DBW featuring Tom Buckneer on tenor sax and Domenic Genova on bass.

"David !! I just listened to the whole thing. The changes, the little tweaks, the sound of the vocals, WOW ! I can not imagine it being any better. You said it was pretty much what I’d been listening to? Wrong,…..It’s so much better!"
- Charles C. Brown, (after hearing the final mixes for his new CD)
