Atlanta’ s Nickel and Dime Recording Studios Launches Easy to Find Website for 2005

Nickel and Dime Studios owner Don McCollister of Atlanta has recorded and engineered music for many notable recording artists like the B-52’s, The Indigo Girls, Johnny Colt of the Black Crowes, Shawn Mullins, Sister Hazel and Third Day. Don’s Nickel and Dime Recording Studios has launched a new website at http://www.makearecordatlanta.com.

CD mastering and demo recording are two popular services at the studio. The new website lists prices and helpful information about cd mastering. Analog recording tape is still used for mastering over half of commercial recordings because of its warm tones. Purely digital mastering can cause a somewhat artificial and cold sounding recording. Nickel and Dime Studios has 2-inch and half-inch analog recording gear to warm up your tracks.

Analog recording gear at Nickel and Dime Studios includes tube pre-amps, vintage amplifiers, vintage organs and guitars, for that retro rock and roll sound. Classic mics like the Neumann U-87 used by Frank Sinatra as well as many others are available in the Nickel and Dime Recording Studio of Atlanta, Georgia.

Don McCollister is very supportive of the local Atlanta music scene. Nickel and Dime Recording Studio supports the annual Open Mic Madness competition for new bands by awarding two days of recording studio time to the winning band. Chief Engineer Kris Sampson says "There are tons of buttons on the recording console, but none of them say PASSION. We help artists to feel confident and relaxed so they're comfortable. Sampson has posted on the new website MP3 sample files from recording sessions with bands like The Whigs, Y.O.U., Asphalt Blaster and Brass Knuckle Surfer . The MP3 files are not as high quality as the actual recordings but they give an idea of the variety of bands that record at Nickel and Dime Studios.

Nickel and Dime Recording Studio is located 30 minutes north of the Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. The studio is hidden away in a funky old movie theatre building in Atlanta's Avondale Estates. Nickel and Dime’s huge main studio has a stage that was rocked by Elvis Presley and the Allman Brothers which gives the old theatre building a certain character.

Studio Manager Jim Pinkstone hired Atlanta SEO firm, EdHillPR.com , to rewrite the website and add more content pages. The re-design makes it easier for web users to find the Nickel and Dime Studios website with a search engine.
