Recording Studio

We specialize in recording acoustic and semi acoustic jazz bands as well as funk and R&B bands that are striving for a natural sound. The studio is located in a newer home, in a peaceful neighborhood. The tracking rooms have a beautiful live full sound, with maple floors that are very aurally refreshing, particularly when one is fed up with the typical studio environment and practices.
