My son Jackson was a baby when Mic Crenshaw first came thru the studio. In those days the studio was in the basement of our house in NE PDX. 06-07 ish. Cool to have him sitting in with us today.

Ever wonder why “just record it” takes longer than you think? In How Long to Record a Song, Really? we break down what actually affects tracking time—from prep and takes to vocals, layers, and the details that make it sound like you (not like a rush job). If you’re an artist in Portland or anywhere in the indie world, this is the real-world timeline you can plan around so you show up ready and leave with something that holds up. This is the kind of studio knowledge you don’t get from the polished talk—only from people who’ve been doing the work.
