Last Story is Up!!
Alright!! it feels good to almost be done. This story was a hard one to write. It was hard to talk to the people I needed to. I wanted to take a more laid back approach for this profile story. I guess I was really just trying to fit the language that most people interested by the story would take to. This is why I continually say "the camp" and use Davids first name. Well, I'm in class right now so I should start paying attention again...checkin' out!!
Welcome to Camp (David Studios)
A band can only be as good as it’s recording. David Lindell, a Corvallis area native, has been recording bands and single handedly running Camp David Studio since late 2005. David started the camp in his moms garage. He quickly made enough money to move the camp into a storage unit in south town Corvallis, where it sat for 3 years before David moved it to Portland.
Why work at a gas station or in fast food when you could record bands. David started the camp so he could be his own boss, so he didn’t have to get a “real job.” He chooses when he works, and who he works with. I don’t think that David realizes the impact he has on other bands. He helps bands take it to the nest level.
Just a small list of bands that David has recorded includes Broadway Calls, the Angries, No City Lights, Arise the dead, Rental 58, The Reed Sea, Two Hands, Box Modern and many more.
The thing that really sets Camp Dave apart from other studios is David’s precise attention to detail. When working on the computer he’s known to pull every track apart down to the shortest of intervals fading out unneeded rings, leveling out volumes and adjusting the tones. This dedication along with the highest quality of equipment makes for one sweet recording.
Ross Goodman, of No City Lights, had the pleasure of recording with his band at Camp David Studio Several times. “He’s pretty professional, yet makes it a loose working atmosphere.” Goodman explained that the songs he’d recorded with David have helped immensely in getting shows and that David also helps gain bands recognition by featuring songs recorded by them on his MySpace page. “David has a lot of creative insight for the bands recording with him, whether they choose to accept it or not is up to them.”
If you’re in a band considering doing some recording, think about heading to the camp to lay down a couple tracks. David just urges that if you do come to record with him, “make sure you’re ready to go and bring a good attitude. I try my very hardest to make you sound good, you should too!”
You can contact David through the camp’s MySpace page, www.myspace.com/davidlindellaudio. He welcomes any questions you may have and would be glad to set up an appointment to record.
