op, folk, jazz, and more. The hybrid analog/digital setup, powered by a modified Toft console and top-tier gear from Neve, API, Manley, and Neumann, ensures pro-quality results across the board. Bringing your vision to life with precision, creativity, and great sound.

🌿 Views from the studio that never get old. The rolling hills, neighboring farms, and stunning sunsets. Sometimes, it’s not just what’s inside the studio—it’s the beauty that surrounds it. It all comes together to create the perfect setting for inspiration and focus.

🎸 Check out our "Wall of Guitar Gear'! We’ve got everything wired up and ready to go, with the flexibility to send any guitar head and pedal into any cabinet in the isolation room. In this session, we started with the artist's Mesa Boogie amp, then layered with the other amp and cabinet combos including Marshall Amplification, Orange Amplifiers, Egnater Amplification, Victory Amps, and more!

🎸 C.E. Longenecker (aka The Street Box Strummer) in the live room, laying down some acoustic magic. We’ve got the Neumann and sE Electronics mics picking up every detail. Always a good time recording with talented artists like Chuck Longenecker . Can’t wait for everyone to hear what we’re working on!

Look up (and sideways) —those aren’t just for looks. 👀 The ceiling clouds, hidden corner bass traps, and custom absorption panels are designed to blend seamlessly with the studio’s overall aesthetic, all while ensuring a flat frequency response at the mix position. These features were carefully tested and tweaked to provide the best sound possible, without drawing attention to themselves. Form meets function in every corner of the space.

🎤 My 6-year-old, rocking a Henry Rollins stance! 🤘 🤣 We celebrated his birthday this week, and it’s a reminder that the best moments in the studio often come with a lot of heart. This one’s for all the young dreamers out there—let’s keep music alive! Henry Rollins (2.13.61)

🎸 The Victory Amps V40 The Duchess has been awesome in the studio! It effortlessly switches from bright, clean tones to punchy British overdrive. It is super versatile for recording, and I love how it responds to pedals. It's a great option when we are layering guitars and want to change up tones. Definitely one of my go-to pieces of gear!

📚🎙️ A huge thank you to Dave Yeager for trusting Sonic Acres with his audiobook project! From pen to voice, we brought his story to life in the studio, and it was an absolute pleasure to work on such a unique project. Whether it’s a full-band session, acoustic storytelling, or voice-over work, I love bringing a wide range of creative ideas to life.

It was truly a great experience, David! Check out his full review on Google! 🌟

One of my favorite stereo techniques — the Mid/Side setup. 🎙️

SM81 down the middle, U87 in figure-8 for the sides. Clean, spacious, and incredibly flexible in the mix.

This one was for an acoustic guitar session, but I’ve used this setup on everything from strings to percussion.

Gear: Shure SM81 & Neumann U87

👀 A view from the soundproof isolation room. This space gets used for everything from vocals to cranked guitar amps to tight percussion takes.

Whatever the session calls for, we’ve got it covered!

Not every band wants to build it track by track.

VINYL RUSH came in ready to play — so we mic’d it up, rolled tape, and let them do their thing! ⚡️

There’s nothing like capturing that full-band energy as it happens — real-time performance, real connection.

Feet up, mix rolling, and a solid cup of coffee nearby — not a bad way to spend the afternoon!

I love this part of the process… dialing in the final 10%.

Shoutout to the gear that holds it down every session: Dynaudio LYD48 on monitor duty, with Solid State Logic (SSL), Drawmer and Waves Audio getting it done.
