New Year, New Approach

Jonathan Butler Session (Group Photo)

Not only has the studio celebrated the arrival of 2007, but we've also jetted past the 1-year mark of our first solid year of operation.

At this point back in January 2006, we didn't even have our headphone system up and running yet. We've made some huge progress since then.

Currently, we're in the midst of only the 3rd week of 2007, and have already seen some ridiculously cool sessions engineered by Danny Duncan. Danny worked at this studio a lot back when it was operating under the name of "The Dugout", so it's great to see people return and find the same magic they experienced here almost a full decade ago.

Jonathan Butler kicked off our new year with an incredible session. That's Jonathan seated to the left in the picture. With Danny Duncan still in the engineer's chair, we immediately followed up that session with an Israel Houghton-produced project that red-lined our goodness meters.

One of the greatest additions made to the studio last year was an actual human being named Scott Velazco. Scott has taken on the role of our house engineer / assistant. His presence on several studio projects has grown almost exponentially since his first session here at the beginning of last summer. We were really lucky to find Scott, and every session he's been involved with has had an extra layer of smooooth all over it.

We're all very much looking forward to a great 2007!
