Recording
You’ve got the songs, we’ve got the gear. We’re here to help bring your vision to life using professional equipment, quality instruments, and top-notch engineering in a fun and creative environment.
Mixing
Already have songs recorded? Send in your tracks! You’ve worked hard on your music and a great mix will add depth, clarity and punch, giving your songs the impact they deserve.
Editing
Sometimes a track needs a little bit of work before it’s ready to mix. We’ll get your drums in time, vocals in tune and clean up whatever else may need it, making sure the song grooves and every element is working together, both rhythmically and harmonically.
Production
Need help with arrangements or instrumentation? We offer full song production and can provide session musicians to accommodate most styles.
Mastering
Your songs have been recorded and mixed to perfection and it’s time to get them ready to release into the world! Give your tracks punch and loudness and prepare them to be delivered at the proper levels for streaming, download or vinyl release.

Dylan Ludwig
Studio Manager / Head Engineer
My name is Dylan Ludwig. I’ve been playing music since age 9 and recording ever since I got my first cassette deck back in high school. I’ve played in and fronted various bands as well as my own solo projects. I love making records and working on all types of music. There is nothing better to me than being in the studio and creating a piece of art to share with the world. If I was given the opportunity to work with you I would treat your music with the utmost care and do everything I can to bring your vision to life!
Artists I’ve worked with include: The Blank Tapes, Decker, Ponderosa Grove, Candace Devine, Ben Dickey, Matt Hopper, Earth Surface People, Sci-Fi Country and Reed Turchi.
Stage
Our largest space, The Stage, is perfect for bigger groups and live tracking everyone together in the same room. Wood floors, stone walls and 18ft ceilings give this space a completely unique sound. Plenty of natural reverb to give your recordings beautiful space and depth whether tracking live in the room, or using it as an echo chamber. With 40 direct lines back to the control room, we can accommodate most projects, large or small!
Main Room
Our main recording room is always set up to record vocals, guitars and most other instruments at a moment’s notice making it a breeze to switch between the different stages of making a record. Wood floors, ceiling and diffusers give this room both a natural feel and sound.
Drum Room
Our drum “loft”, located directly above the main recording room is home to our C&C Big Beat house kit which is usually mic’d up and ready to go. Wood floors, stone and plaster walls and a vaulted ceiling create a nice, diffused small room sound with the option of opening up the doors to the hallways for even bigger sonic options.
Control Room
The Control Room is centered around the AVID C|24 Control surface, a pair of Genelec 1031A monitors, 32 channels of digital I/O and a variety of analog outboard processing from Tonelux, Focusrite, Warm Audio, Vintech and more. Plenty of natural sunlight creates a warm and inviting atmosphere for listening back to that perfect take!
