A Great Start to 2026!

This year got off to quite a start. Bookings for the studio started to fill up our calendar and music was made! Hearing the very first notes played and recorded in our new rooms was satisfying in so many ways. It was the completion of a vision that we've had for many years and instantly made the effort along the way entirely worth it. The rooms sounds great and everything is working as it should. Now we can concentrate on the music.

The NAMM show was very productive for us once again. A lot of networking, seeing old friends and making new ones. Connecting names with faces along with human connection, collaboration and interaction is still what matters most. We're thankful to our business partners, vendors and friends for your kindness and assistance as we get our business up to full speed. We couldn't do it without you.

We came back from NAMM with a renewed energy and focus. We posted a lot of content throughout February discussing audio gear, construction, our new rooms, and all that our location has to offer. With all of those topics, our favorite post was from the last day of February which we're re-publishing here. This is the most important thing.

"For Feb 28, we wrap up our daily posts about our destination music production studio in the Rocky Mountains of Wyoming. As mentioned previously, all of the audio gear we featured are just tools. We're big gear nerds and tend to obsess over microphones and high end audio gear. But they're just tools. The acoustic spaces we've created sound beautiful as well, but it's just another tool. What matters is the music. The people. The magic of musical collaboration. The songwriting. The performance. The passion that music creates for so many of us no matter the genre, age or instrumentation. Our vision has always been to create an environment conducive to writing, making and producing music. It's that simple. Our thought is to get out of the city. Get out of the noise and distractions. Disconnect. Focus on the music. Please consider us for your next project and/or pass the word along to others. Thanks for playing along with us all month. Please share, follow, like us on your social media. Call, text, or email with any questions or just to talk about music!"

That's all for now. Until next time........ - Marie & Jim
