RTP-area local music and culture

I was gonna mention Rossi's studio (he's done stuff recently for The 
Nein and Erie Choir, among others) but he just did that.

There's also Nick Peterson, who used to be half of Polyphonic Audio & is 
now running Track & Field with Jon Byrd in part of the old Go Studios 
space. I dunno direct contact info but here is a thing in the Indy about 
it:  http://indyweek.com/durham/2004-09-22/durhamchapelhill.html

Nick has done good work with a lot of local indie-rock bands & I've 
heard nothing but good stuff about their new setup.

Unsolicited free advice: the more you practice & arrange ahead of time, 
the cheaper the recording gets, no matter what studio you go to.
