Just a quick word about gear and environments. I have worked in the highest quality studios with millions invested, and I have worked literally in a mobile home studio. I've worked on reel to reel tape and I've worked on Pro-tools, and every DAW there is. I've worked on stand alone home recorders too. 

I've come to know that it isn't the studio, or the gear that makes a great recording. It's the combination of the artist, the engineer and the producer. You can make a world class recording with a Tascam 244 Portastudio and 4 Shure SM 57 mics. You can also make a crap recording with an SSL console in a milllion dollar recording facility with a world class mic locker. 

Our facility is perfect for making music. It's comfortable, and yes, it's in a home environment. But if you've listened to our samples, you'll see the quality of music we create here. Our room is properly treated and sounds amazing! And I care deeply about your music and will do everything humanly possible to make it sound its very best!
