Energy Command Studios is a top-notch recording studio located close to Chicago. Based in the heart of the northwest suburbs in Arlington Heights, Illinois, the studio offers top quality recording and radio ready CD production without the hurdles and high cost  of downtown studios.

Over the past 15+ years, Energy Command Studios has become known for the comfortable atmosphere that allows bands, songwriters, musicians, and artists to sculpt their sound. Whether recording a full-length CD or working on a fresh set of tracks for a demo, the studio has the flexibility to meet nearly any musician’s needs. Full production services, songwriting, arrangement, engineering, mastering, music editing, Pro Tools Mixing, drum gridding & editing, hard disk recording, MIDI production, voice-overs, direct to CD recording, live recording, CD one-off’s, and a great live tracking environment are just a sample of the offerings Energy Command Studios has.

The studio has an outstanding live room, which takes advantage of the building’s 15 foot ceilings and custom floating floor in the live room. Bands can track all at once, or do the more traditional track-at-a-time recording and overdub as often as desired. A unique feature about the studio is the visibility through all of the rooms at the facility. The studio allows multiple players to see into each of the rooms all at once, while allowing isolation. On larger projects bands can also set-up and play together in the large live room to maintain the feel of playing live. 

Acts that have had CD’s and projects produced at Energy Command Studio range in style from Pop/Rock, Blues, Country, Metal, Folk, Jazz, & more. And, we have worked with a range of Hip Hop, R&B, & Rap artists. The studio has a wide array of musicians available for projects, and engineers on call for specific needs. Two accomplished independent producers, David Banks and Amo Schmyz, are often tapped by clients for their production skills. Jon Owens and Art Garceau are additional engineering forces on the Energy Command Studios roster - both Jon & Art have worked with a wide range of bands. 

We also can provide entire music arrangements, drum tracks, & beats, to help complete a band sound. Recently added is the Amo Sound Lounge which houses a set-up and ready to record a top of the line Ludwig drum kit, mic'd, with a dedicated Pro Tools Rig.
