Studio

Cleanest Sound on the Sound
Located on Puget Sound in Seattle, our studio offers superb acoustics and electronics. Nestled snugly in a 1928 Bavarian log home, its views of the water and the Olympic Mountains are through double acoustic trap windows. The signal path is clean and direct. All circuits are grounded, balanced, and filtered to eliminate any hum.

Using only the best brand names, the studio has recorded hundreds of national and international documentaries, TV shows, commercials, films, videos, and web pages. Using a standard phone patch we can record your session to Pro Tools and upload files to our FTP site. Or, we can interface seamlessly with studios around the world via ISDN (Telos Zephyr).

The studio is usually included with the session fee. All sessions are archived. Click Contac/FAQs for more info.

In 2007 the studio underwent a major upgrade -- intensive acoustic treatments (bass traps, theatre curtains, sE Reflexion filter, ceiling traps, Aurelex foam), a Waves L2 UltraMaximizer, a Mac Power Book Pro with MBox and Apple flat panel screen, and upgrading to Pro Tools 7.3.

Clients love it. From Evan Phillips at FLIR Systems, “"The files sound great and the ZIP files are much faster to download."
