Hello friends,
We at CRC wanted to share our evolution in the world of audio recording. Since its inception in 1975, CRC has always had two equal sides of music and post production audio services. Due to seismic changes in the music industry, we have decided to close our music division. But rest assured, our Post Production Audio division is thriving, and our team will continue to create award winning work out of our world class studios at 55 W. Wacker and 205 N. Michigan Ave. We thank all of our many clients and friends over the years who have recorded music with us. What a wonderful ride since 1975! Onward and upward!
