What is BigRibbonStories?

With over a century of combined audio experience, Ryan and I created Big Ribbon Stories to preserve audio history, and  to share recorded examples of just how good music can truly sound. Just as Ribbon Mics once raised the bar for the industry, our timeless recording process gives us the chance to do so again—so that anyone with a passion for music can create life-changing records.

The “Big Ribbon” Sound - An Old, New Standard in Sound Recording.

What sets our sound apart?
Quite simply, it’s the closest you’ll ever feel to being in the room with the music. Artists tell us time and time again that they’ve never heard themselves, or their instruments, recorded like this before.

How do we achieve this?
We accomplish this exceptional sound through a truly innovative recording process, one that is rarely heard today. Our main working principle is that of Wally Heider- putting great musicians together, live, in a room they can enjoy working in. This is not only conducive to a faster and more enjoyable session, but the quality of the music ends up much higher than the individual sum of its parts.

To complement this, we utilize a combination of Ribbon Microphones, high-end preamps, DSD256 recording, and an analog mixing workflow; each of which produces extraordinary sound on its own–with the goal of capturing music as true to the source as possible.

What could this mean for you?

As an student/engineer: Adopting this approach to recording can kick your music up to the next level, genre or audience. Our workflow is greatly accessible to anyone, the main principles of our process are simply unknown to most students we talk to. The technical side is what we hope to make accessible as well, with full, high quality sessions and multitracks available for free, alongside gear recommendations and guides for students.
