Recording Studio Sweet Spot: A Bloody Good Record – Long Island City, Queens
Mark Law, founder of the NYC studio known as A Bloody Good Record, is a man of few words.
But that’s OK, because as it turns out, there are plenty of people willing to step up and do the talking for him. Ask a producer or engineer or two, and chances are they’ll have something sterling to say about this seasoned engineer and his busy analog + digital facility in Queens’ highly music enclave of Long Island City.
Turns out, Law’s laser focus on achieving awesome audio has been plenty sufficient to make his reputation spread throughout the region. This Sweet Spot may be a fast read – and you’ll have to watch out for a tall tale that he tells below – but all that really matters is what Law consistently accomplishes at his highly respected outer-borough stead.
