Home Studio of New Orleans Drummer Wayne Maureau
Developed during the 2020 pandemic, Naked Sound Studio is ready to help you record your music. This simple one-room studio captures quality sounds that are warm and natural. As the name “naked” implies, the modest gear and classic approach to recording results in pure, unprocessed and clean sounds ready for mixing.
Drums & Percussion Tracks
With over 35 years of experience in most styles of music, Wayne specializes in crafting the perfect drum and percussion tracks for your songs. With an ear for composition, form and continuity Wayne’s drum tracks are musical, tasteful and groove in the pocket. The studio’s large room with high ceilings gets a great natural acoustic drum sound and the variety of snare drums, cymbals and percussion instruments available allow Wayne to color the sound to fit your project.
Rhythm Section Tracking
With an isolation space for guitar amps, a Mark 2 Rhodes piano and Yamaha Motif 6 keyboard, Naked Sound Studio is ready to track your rhythm section. Combined with direct input bass, you have total isolation from the great live acoustic drums and room mic. Start your project with killer-sounding grooves that are easy to mix to your taste.
Overdubs
Polish up your songs by coming in for an overdub session. Need lead vocals or backgrounds, horn solos or horn section parts or additional guitars or keyboard parts? Naked Sound Studio can provide great natural sounds that you can add any effects when mixing.
Budget-Friendly
Naked Sound Studio can bring your music to life at a cost that fits your budget. Part of our mission is to help lesser known artists to get their music recorded for a reasonable rate and help independent artists doing creative or original music. If the expense of a big studio is holding you back from your musical goals, contact Wayne to see if Naked Sound Studio could be the right choice for your project.

What Musicians Are Saying About Naked Sound Studio
Wayne Maureau is one of the most professional drummers and percussionists with whom I’ve had the pleasure of working. The quality of his recordings is excellent and he’s thorough and communicative. I always look forward to working with him.
I go to Wayne’s because he’s an outstanding drummer and a consummate musician, he always brings something to the process that is in service of the song and the project. I’ve had a comfortable experience both tracking in his studio and also sharing tracks long distance. Clean recordings and always great sounding drum tracks with good communication.
I felt super comfortable at Naked Sound Studio. The fact that Wayne was ready to go with line checks before the band walked in had me feeling confident in the session. To say nothing of his Vintage Rhodes, the studio allowed the band to get the sound I was looking for. Wayne was super fast with the bounces and quick to respond to any questions I had about the mixes or specific lines.
