ABOUT US

Jesse Case spent 10+ years based in Chicago as a composer, producer, pianist and musical director - logging many hours on both sides of sound boards at some of the best studios in the world and countless DIY living room recordings. He discovered that the make-or-break element of creating and recording quality music is not the quality of the gear, or the room, or even the musicians doing the playing. Rather it’s the quality of the experience itself. The vibe, if you will.

So when the opportunity came to custom-build his own studio, vibe was first and foremost in mind. For recording and production services, in-person and remotely, Outsider Audio is the place to go for fun, unfettered, and efficient creativity.

The barn itself is one of the biggest live rooms in Illinois,

A large “dead room” big enough for a full band, vocal booths, an amp room, and other features make it an incredibly versatile space - custom-built from the ground up for pristine acoustics and recording quality.

There’s also a large and comfortable loft space upstairs, and multi-day sessions include lodging.

Can’t make the trip? Outsider offers a litany of services including MIXING and AUDIO PRODUCTION.
