Gravity Studios is a recording studio in Chicago, Illinois founded in 1993 by Doug McBride.〔 Starting with the single "Seether" by local band Veruca Salt, Gravity has hosted bands such as the Plain White T’s, Silversun Pickups, and Fall Out Boy. An adjacent mastering studio, Gravity Mastering, has been used by bands such as Augustana and producers such as Mike Clink, Bob Mould, Brad Wood, and Bill Stevenson.〔 ==History== Gravity Studios was founded by producer/engineer Doug McBride in 1993, in Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois.〔 McBride left his job at Chicago Recording Company to manage the new recording studio,〔 and picked Wicker Park because it was a cheap area to afford practice space, and also its central position in the local alt rock scene. He has stated, "(Park ) was primarily composed of a bunch of starving musicians hanging out, going to each other’s shows, and influencing each other musically.”〔 The first band McBride encountered after finishing construction was Veruca Salt, who he met through friends before they’d played their first show. He recommended they record their single "Seether" at Gravity, and the song went on to become popular at Chicago’s Q101, and propelled the band to a deal with Geffen.〔 Local bands such as Verbow, Dovetail Joint and Jamie Blake soon started coming to Gravity for production and recording. The Smashing Pumpkins spent two weeks with McBride, which contributed to the creation of their album ''Pisces Iscariot''.Through the late 90’s the studio began booking major label clients,〔 producing recordings such as Rachael Yamagata’s “Collide”, Fall Out Boy, Rise Against, and Badly Drawn Boy.〔 McBride has stated, "I suppose Gravity found a niche as the place to go to get a big, warm, organic sound."〔 In 2000 Gravity began construction on an adjacent B studio, which was offered at a lower price, allowing bands with smaller budgets to record. Some of the engineers and producers who have worked at Gravity include John Agnello, Mitch Easter, Jim O’Rourke, Peter Mokran, Mike Clink, Bob Mould, Brad Wood, and Bill Stevenson.〔 On August 14, 2006 Silversun Pickups recorded new material at Gravity, which was released as ''The Tripwire sessions: Live in Chicago.''〔 Recent clients include Filligar, Anna Fermin, and Lee De Wyze.〔 As of August 2013, services include, but are not limited to, producing, tracking, mixing, mastering, forensic audio, noise reduction, drum editing and sample replacement, vocal tuning, re-amping, rock band programming, and mix consultation. McBride also teaches recording for Tribeca Flashpoint Media Arts Academy.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gravity Studios」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
