Recording & overdubs
Guitar, vocals, MIDI instruments, demos, teaching materials, song sketches, and small-session tracking.
Private recording & music technology
Music with a little ♭7 in the room.
Flat 7 Studio is Rock Kennedy’s small Nashville-area recording space for musicians, students, songwriters, and creative audio projects that need patience, taste, and a musician’s ear.
The room
A calm place to record, teach, experiment, and finish ideas.
The studio is intentionally modest: a control room, a live room, vocal booths, solid front-end gear, and enough flexibility to move from a guitar overdub to a music-tech project without turning the session into a production circus.

What fits
Selective projects, handled personally.
Flat 7 is best for projects where the details matter and the pace can stay human.
Music technology help
REAPER workflows, classroom audio projects, MIDI routing, basic production coaching, and practical troubleshooting.
Editing & preparation
Cleaning up tracks, organizing sessions, preparing stems, rough mixes, and turning unfinished audio into something easier to evaluate.
Tools
Enough gear to capture the source. Enough restraint to serve the song.
The setup includes a Tascam DM-4800, multiple audio and MIDI interfaces, a useful microphone collection, quality mic pres, and computer-based production workflows.
Practical signal paths. Musician-friendly workflow.
Whether the project starts with a microphone, a guitar cable, a MIDI controller, or a REAPER session, the goal is the same: make the technical side disappear so the musical idea can come forward.
