Stephanie Carlin begins tracking for upcoming album
It’s a real pleasure to record a great band live in the studio… This week we’ve been busy tracking the inimitable Stephanie Carlin for her upcoming debut release. Her music is a thoughtful and unique blend of R&B, Soul, Jazz, Rock, Folk and Blues. The basics were tracked as a 5-piece for the most part, [...]
Steinway B in the house
We’ve gotten a hold of a 2002 Steinway B in perfect condition, which is available for use–for a relatively low fee–for recording sessions (at least two weeks advance notice is required). This is the mother of all grand pianos! There’s no mic positioning that doesn’t sound incredible on this thing. The action is incredible and [...]
The Jupiter Deluxe on NY Ink
The Jupiter Deluxe’s single “Faceplant”, recorded at Hobo Reco, will be featured on the season finale of the TLC hit NY INK on Thursday, 7/21 @ 10pm. Apparently the song will be used during a key montage. The timing of this couldn’t be better as the guys are near finishing a full-length release with [...]
John Widgren putting down some Steel for Chris Koch

Our 3,000 square foot main live room is comfortable and sounds incredible, but that’s only part of the story… There’s a smaller live room with a 6-foot wide glass door in full view of the large [...]

Testimonial – Kathleen Fee
From the moment we entered Hoboken Recorders, we felt right at home. We are a 7 piece band including drums, bass, guitars, mandolin, banjo, accordion, violin and many vocals. Needless to say, this was not an easy group to work with. Alan and Pete were extremely professional and their studio is completely state of the [...]
