About the Studio
The Best in the Northwest
We like to think we are one of the best recording, mixing and mastering studios in Seattle but we all know that rooms and gear are just a small part of a recording studio, our people make it what it is and we have some mighty fine folks here to help you. No matter where you are on your musical journey, you are always welcome here with respect and appreciation. We also specialize in room acoustics and studio design.
Established in 1995, we have been home to a community of producers, engineers and musicians that have defined the Seattle sound for many years. In 2014, we received a multi-Platinum record for our work on Macklemore’s Grammy winning album, The Heist. In 2018, we received another Platinum award for our contribution to Vance Joy’s album, Dream Your Life Away.

Full Music Production
We offer full production here from pre-production, tracking to mixing. Production is never a one size fits all because every artist is different and every song has diverse needs. The benefit of having a experienced producer is where the value is, many say it has been invaluable.
Building on the strengths of the artist and knowing when to stay out of the way is a true art form, one that only comes with experience. Other times my job as a producer is just to be a good documentarian of the project and capture the artist in a moment that represents them, communication prior to the record starting is the best way to achieve the level of production that each artist is looking for.

From acoustically designing a whole studio down to a garage remodel we have you “covered”.
We provide solutions so that you can hear only what you should hear. That includes eliminating and controlling sound when the environment is intended to maintain privacy. By designing solutions through noise & vibration control, you can be confident the sound coming in and out of a given space is controlled and contained.
Our acoustical consultant provides recommendations to improve the acoustical qualities (including noise level, sound isolation, room acoustics, or vibration) of a space to the client (who may be an architect, building owner, building tenant, or resident). Spaces in need of treatment can include existing rooms, new construction or renovation projects.

- Upon arrival, everyone, including artists, will have their temperature checked with a no-touch thermometer and we’ll also go over some basic health questions. Those experiencing symptoms will be asked to leave.
- Masks are required upon entering the building from the street, (the whole time you are here) with the exception of being in an iso room to begin singing. Please bring your own mask, but we can provide one for you if necessary.
- We ask that you wash your hands upon arrival and often throughout the session. Hand sanitizer is strategically placed throughout the studio in every room.
- All common areas (especially the lounge and bathrooms) and touchable surfaces (door handles, etc) will be cleaned before sessions, after sessions, and regularly throughout the day by our staff.
- Sessions are for artists only, no friends or family, photographers, managers etc are currently allowed, only those absolutely necessary to keep the session going will be present.

When your vocal takes are complete, you must exit the room (masked up) and close the door behind you immediately. We will be sanitizing the space remotely with a high powered UV light after you have exited the recording room or iso booth.
- Please limit the amount of time you spend in the control room, if (remote) mixing can be done without you in the control room, it is highly encouraged. We’ll send you mixes for your approval and discuss production remotely. If it is necessary to enter the control room please sit on the couch, there is a line on the floor that is marked as a safety distance of over 6 feet.
