GREAT MUSIC COMES FROM
GREAT PERFORMANCES.

Feel at home in Denver's coziest recording studio.

A different recording experience

At The Salt Lick Denver, we believe the key to a great performance is mindset.

Our studio decor, our natural light, our engineers’ attention to detail, the hospitality that we provide— it’s all functional, and we know that it contributes to the end product just as much as our acoustic treatment, or our microphones.

"The Salt Lick stands as a beacon for musicians seeking a sanctuary"

The Salt Lick stands as a beacon for musicians seeking a sanctuary where creativity flows as freely as the delicious drinks and snacks in the lounge. From the moment you step through the doors, the studio wraps you in a vibe that's both inspiring and comforting, setting the stage for musical magic." - Artur Tkachev, Dialup

Ember’s recording engineering practice is efficient, and meticulous. They take great care to listen to their mixes in different environments, while comparing against references from his recording clients. With their passion and commitment to achieving a client’s desired sound, they've been able to untangle even the most flowery & esoteric revision notes into a sonic masterpiece that exceeds expectations and shines in a car’s speaker system, studio monitors, and even phone speakers. If you’re feeling generous and want to spend an extra hour in our studio, ask Ember about their pedalboard.

We believe in Colorado music.

Created by Andrea Hoang and Jason Edelstein, The Salt Lick ® started out as the host for the live-session concert series, Songs from The Pond, a platform highlighting the best local acts in Denver’s eclectic music scene. With the help of audio engineer Chris Voss and assistant cinematographer John Baldwin we produced twelve high-quality live sessions with vibrant set-design and artwork on a volunteer basis. Through the production of Songs from The Pond we’ve made long-lasting friendships, and found our way deep into the Denver music community.

 

Recording at The Salt Lick ® is different. We have natural light, plants, comfy chairs, beautiful artwork, and good people (and dog). The best recordings come from the best performances, so we’ve taken a lot of time and care to make our space feel homey and relaxing to encourage those great performances.
