A Recording Studio, by definition, is first and foremost a performance space.A Recording Studio, by definition, is first and foremost a performance space.

We love seeing music live, when people get together and pour out lyrics over chords into a room full of strangers. There’s something essential in four walls that makes music sound so good. Our space is inspired by that idea. It’s not too fancy: a single acoustically treated live room with lots of space to play, a team of people that live for sound, and the tools to make silent smiles.

We’ve also been lucky to record some great artists. Their talent makes this whole thing worthwhile.

We’re accepting new projects.

Hours are from noon to 12am Monday-Saturday, 6pm-12pm Sunday. You can find more information on rates here, give us a call, or schedule a time to come over and take a tour of the studio.

Rates

How much does it cost to record an album? Every project is a little different, as it should be. We try to keep our process and our rates set up so that most artists can afford to record here, and we can afford to keep the doors open.

Gear

Sometimes we let brand names and big price tags seduce us, but more often we’re listening for combinations of gadgets that sound neat and come recommended from fellow recording engineers pioneering fresh sounds. Check out what we’ve got to offer.

Internships

We challenge you to make something awesome and have fun in the process. We’re around to give you advice and steer you as you need it. If you have no experience we probably can’t help you. If you’re in between having made a couple albums with your buddy’s band and being a professional engineer, send us your samples.
