Who are we?

Ranger Babe is a boutique recording studio located in Readfield, ME owned and operated by musician Jake Medeiros. Ranger Babe was founded in Los Angeles, CA in 2019. Originally a small one-room studio in a converted garage, Ranger Babe relocated to Readfield, ME in 2023 with the dream of building the perfect destination recording studio; a place where musicians from around the world could stay a while, experience New England, and make their best art.

Our Studio Mission

There are many recording studios out there, even a few out here. Some are one-size-fits-all and some serve specific functions. Our studio is a specific kind of studio that serves a specific niche. Rather than providing a blank slate, Ranger Babe is designed to be inspirational in and of itself. It has intrigue, character, and places to explore. It has weird gear, weird instruments, and weird spaces that will guide you on a creative journey that is uniquely yours and uniquely Ranger Babe.

While we accommodate all styles of music and music-making, our main focus is on producing diligently crafted art. We exist to facilitate getting into the weeds, uncovering new sounds, and helping you meet your true potential.

To that end, production services are always priced per song. If it takes a month to track 1 song, then that’s how long it takes. It will not cost you more to spend more time on your song. Take the time you need to explore your music, and ask for all the help you want, that’s why we’re here.

Meet Producer

Jake Medeiros

Hi, I’m Jake and I run Ranger Babe!

I’m a producer, engineer, songwriter, performer, session musician, and all around studio guy. These days I mostly produce records for others here at Ranger Babe, but my band and I also release our own music under the name special/sexy/sleazy.

Over the years I’ve amassed a collection of some of the best modern and most interesting vintage recording gear and instruments, all of which are available for use while at Ranger Babe. When you record at Ranger Babe, I’ll be there to produce, engineer, coach, write, perform, or just get out of the way and let you cook.
