Fader & Frame was founded by David Stillson with the vision of creating high-quality content for YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. Originally built to produce music and video for his own projects, the studio has since grown into a professional space for artists and bands looking to capture top-tier recordings and visually stunning performance videos.
With quality gear, and a variety of great microphones and preamps, Fader & Frame is capable of recording up to 24 channels of audio simultaneously. Our studio is optimized for both live band performances and multi-track recording sessions, ensuring exceptional sound quality. Monitoring is easy, with our ability to have up to 6 seperate stereo mixes. Musicians just need to bring their own in-ear monitors or headphones.
Fader & Frame is proud to be the studio for the YouTube channel My Dad's Radio, where musicians come together to record live performances of timeless classics. Our goal is to create an inspiring and creative environment for artists looking to bring their vision to life.
