“It all comes down to the fact that we are artists and this is a studio that has been created and supported by artists”

– George Langis, owner Signal Sound Source


Whether its helping to launch the major label careers of such bands as Mudvayne, garnering national rave reviews and national endorsements for bands like Left Setter, working preproduction for international recording artists Soil or working with up-and-coming bands, Signal Sound Source recordings has become a Mecca for musicians looking to create professional sounding recordings in a supportive environment.

“I think we are in an amazing age of independent artists making exceptional music,” says co-owner Nick Langis. “We provide the opportunity for bands of all backgrounds to produce professional quality recordings that are ready for release on the largest of levels. What we record here competes with anything else being released today.”

Located on Chicago’s West side in an industrial complex that has long been home to a vibrant scene of local artists, Signal Sound Source has also focused on creating an atmosphere conducive to bringing out the best in a performance.

“I originally got into recording because I was fascinated with the textures and production of the albums I grew up listening to. I wanted to be able to produce those sounds for my music,” says owner/producer/engineer George Langis. “As that eventually involved into opening this studio, I still have that mindset where I approach each project with the goal of helping other artists to fully realize their potential and to produce material that represents them in the best way possible. I’ve been on the other side of the glass, laying down tracks so I know how important it is to have not only the support of the engineers and producer, but also the resource of their technical ability.”

Signal Sound Source’s commitment to using only quality, professional equipment assures that bands will achieve sonic quality usually only associated with recordings that usually cost much, much more. Utilizing analog technology and technique along with the latest in digital audio, top-notch microphones and out board gear, and a great selection of preamps and amplifiers, artists record on some of the best gear the industry has to offer. Bands benefit from Langis’ commitment to not only the latest technical trends, but to his pursuit of acquiring vintage/classic high-performance equipment.

Engineer Asim Ali says “We are about establishing a trust with our clients. You can walk into some places and not even be sure what the qualifications of the engineer are or if he even really cares about what you are doing. Because you are working directly with George and I, you can rest assured that because we are directly connected with every project that you will have the full use of all of our skills and knowledge both as performers and engineers.”

With artists like Soil, Mudvayne and Anthrax seeking the studio out based on its reputation in the industry, Signal Sound Source provides an artist with the credibility it needs to move to the next level. Signal Sound Source has helped bands at every level achieve that next step, whether it’s getting a budget approved by a major label or being showcased on a local radio station or headlining a local venue like Metro. The studio provides something that bands can’t achieve on their own, the quality production and product that will result from working with proven engineers and producers with a track record of support and success in the music industry.
