Nuts and Bolts, Odds and Ends, Hot and Cold

Front Numbers

We've been busy putting the finishing touches on several projects around the recording studio. It's been a massive push to get all these things done before the end of summer...almost made it.

It was about a year ago that Vibe56 hosted an open house to celebrate the official opening of it's doors. The first year of any business is important, and that was no different here.

To the studio's benefit, we've seen a wide range of different projects come through. Dozens of mix sessions and even more overdub sessions helped us fine-tune our control room, plug-ins and equipment. The many full-on tracking sessions with a full compliment of A-list session players has helped us gear-up with plenty of microphone cables, talkback switches, headphone stations, patchbay cables, and tie-lines.

Best of all, we've made a lot of friends in our first year. Our clients have come from just about every conceivable genre; country, rock, gospel, bluegrass...they have all chimed in under our roof. A couple of weeks ago we even recorded a 20-piece choir.

Our list of clients continues to grow, and we're very proud to have such a lengthy list in just a one-year period.

Thanks to everyone that has given us a chance to prove ourselves as a rock-solid studio.

Paving The Way

Our Asphalt
...is your asphalt

Although we claim to be "Rockin' the Row", until recently, we were also rocking the parking lot. We've paved our entire parking lot with asphalt to make it easier for everyone to put a little "roll" into the rocking going on inside our recording studio.

All of the local instrument cartage companies have certainly given their collective thumbs up to our latest improvement. Imagine rolling a 400-pound Hammond B3 organ over gravel.

We've actually got a lot of little improvement projects like this underway. It was great to finally be able to put a check-mark next to "Pave Parking Lot".

In addition to paving the studio's parking lot, we also completed the driveway that now exists between our studio and the building next door (54 Music Square West). I've already almost been killed twice by people zooming up this driveway from 17th Ave. Good times.

You can view the photos taken before, during and after the paving project. It's an amazing transformation actually. There's a slideshow available via this link that shows the entire process from gravel to asphalt.
