This is the image slected by Mix Magazine as one of the 20 elite studios of 2011.  The criteria were expert design (and a great photo didn't hurt).  Stonewall Studios in Pensacola, FL is only ~450 sq ft in total.  However, a NE style control room uses the flanking hallway spaces for LF control and this rectangular tracking room is large enough for an ensemble while remaining "attached" in vibe to the CR.



2011 brought a great opportunity to custom tweak the tracking room (we originally designed in 2008) for a certain iconic legend of metal (better known as the prince of darkness)...this room truly rocks in every regard: note the cobble stone hanging reflector panels.White Arc Studio is Paul Mahern's personal multi-function facility. This ~16K cu ft all-in-one space handles tracking through mastering chores. Paul's clients include Mellencamp, The Fray and plenty more.A second view that shows the sense of scale of this large room and the comfort and function first approach!Cabo Wabo Radio (inside Sammy Haggar's club, Mexico) broadcasts internet radio.

Catering to both bands and commercial work this facility is a ground up design that made it's budget and sounds GREAT.Seven Hills Recording tracking room.

This is UBK-East where Greg writes, records, mixes and creates his amazing product demo's.I utilized products from Kinetics Noise to control yet retain a balanced spectrum in the mid/hiSo (more backstory)...the orientation of the monitors within the room is it's own story...feel free to ask Greg or myself about that process...intriguing indeed.
John Anderson's private double bass "shed" room also double functions for his growing music production efforts.This space started with Remote Room Testing and utilized products from RPG, Primacoustic and MSR.

In spite of the low ceiling the equation has really offered great tracks.MegStudio. Nashville, TN A beautiful writing/production space.ZenProAudio rear left cornerSometimes the small rooms/efforts remain close to the heart. This drum room is a converted wine cellar...the Italian ceramic tile floor with treatments created a super rich & urgent drum room.First Presbyterian youth assembly. Houston, TX Given the hard floor and totally absorptive ceiling, the block walls created extreme midrange decay. Tuned panels (250Hz & 500Hz) were designed to remedy.Spirit Bank Event Center.

Enter and get set to make music. Not shown is the neighboring warehouse space with tie lines for large drum sounds!!The hallway...cool sure...but architecturally one of the goals in the layout was to retain as wide a hall as possible: 4'-3"No windows...true. But, Hideout Recording Studio features state of the art connectivity by Under The Wire so this booth can be used by either CR (with heads in the CR's)
