Amazing studio. Amazingly talented people that run it. A staggering amount of mind blowing gear... some that you're not going to find for hundreds of miles in any direction.

You're getting a team of people that care about bringing what's been trapped in your head and heart to life. Scott and crew so genuinely and empathetically give all of themselves to any project they agree to be a part of.

It may seem simple, but recording a good piano sound is one of the trickier things. There is always a trade off to get it just right, and it often takes tons of time to dial it in and get it just right.
Not, Scott. He had it right before we even walked in the door, and it was good...spooky, good.
The best part is that they become a part of the project, not just some set of engineers working "for" you. They work "with" you. They understand that a big part of the job is to make clients comfortable and at ease so they can work their best and channel...
