I’m a few weeks late, but I wanted to acknowledge the release of debut full length “What’s Mine” We recorded this last year during the absolute height of the remodel. The studio was in the darkest days of reconstruction but was also somehow completely functional (I needed to keep working!). Lizzie and her band of exquisite short hair rockers were undeterred by the chaos and made themselves at home. What resulted was a really fun Rock ‘N’ Roll album that everyone can and should enjoy. I like when it sounds like old Weezer and they also let me do whatever I wanted with this garage song “Sick.” I think we recorded it in a little over a week and was probably the first project mixed on the Neve 5316 over a few days. This one definitely came together quick and there was minimal fussing. Thank you friends - I remember this session fondly. Check it out, you can tell it was a good time!

Remodel complete!

Next up is the refurbed control room!
Did quite a bit here with new floors, bass trapping floor to ceiling in back, ceiling traps with lighting, and a groovy new color scheme. I also managed to get a hold of some *primo* new racks. Feast yer eyes!

Fresh pictures of the live room showing some renovations I’ve been working hard on the last few months! Here’s some details:
The right hand wall has been rebuilt with a diffuser/slat absorber combo. I also added a double pane window into the completed iso booth and capped it off with a funky overhang with new lighting. Finally managed to turn the makeshift iso/closet into more of a finished booth. Should be no problem tracking vocals now with a band laying it down live in the room. Added a bunch of old school ceiling diffusers inspired by early Bill Putnam designs that I love. The room is sounding the best it ever has, with a more noticeably balanced and crisp high end. I’m really excited for you all to check it out.

Dan Andriano’s new record “Dear Darkness”comes out today on I want to thank Dan, Ramsey, Dylan, and Mike for putting their trust in me the whole way through. This one went a lot like how you think making records should go. It’s definitely not one I will soon forgot, go listen.
