Stepping Stone Sound

Welcome to Stepping Stone Sound, a full-service recording and production studio located in Shelby, NC that focuses on providing professional, affordable audio services to artists and songwriters. 

What We Do

Stepping Stone Sound offers a cost-effective way for songwriters and artists to get professional quality recordings of their songs to pitch to record labels, publishers, or performance venues, or to sell to the public. Depending on your specific needs, we can provide all of the music and vocals for your song, or add individual parts to supplement your own performances. 

Our state-of-the-art studio comes fully equipped with the latest in digital recording technology, plus an excellent collection of top quality instruments and amplifiers, and our musicians and engineers are all experienced professionals who work in a wide range of styles. All of this allows us to provide you with a professional quality recording of your music that will greatly enhance its marketability and appeal.

The services we offer include:

• Recording 
• Song Instrumentation
• Arrangement
• Mixing
• Digital Mastering

In this highly competitive ratrace we call the music industry, having a superior quality recording of your music is essential if you are serious about getting noticed, but you don't have to break the bank to do it. Our rates are very affordable (usually half of what other studios charge), and our level of quality is as good and often better. 

How It Works  

1. Simply send us a working quality MP3 of your song (a simple guitar/vocal recording is fine). We will arrange the song and record all of the instrument parts, or coordinate with you if you plan to record some of the instruments yourself. 
2. Next, we bring in the singer to add vocals. Or, if you will be performing vocals on the recording, we will schedule a time for you to come to the studio to record.
3. Once the vocals are recorded, we will mix and master the music, and post the files on our server for easy download.

It's as simple as that! Three easy steps to take your song from a handful of chords and a melody to a fully arranged and produced recording that you can use to advance your career.
