Where it bleeds.
Reel Raw Records is built on analog blood. Vintage tape, hand-soldered tube preamps, a wall of pedals older than most of the artists who play through them.
Every record gets tracked through the chain, never around it — no plug-in patch jobs, no presets pretending to be character. The room itself is a piece of the gear: cement floor, bamboo beams, a Bali humidity that warms the low end and softens the top.
Come dirty. Leave raw.
-
Track raw
To tape, first take. Performance over polish.
-
Mix on tape
Color before clarity. Analog summing, hands on faders.
-
Master loud
No apologies. The record hits the way it was tracked.
