Join us for an Open Studio session designed for anyone curious about music production and studio engineering. This 90 minute session will give you insight to a real working studio. Get you inside look at our space and equipment, followed by a Live Demo where you can see real recording and production techniques in action.


Stick around for an open Q&A with our engineers to get your questions answered, plus, in some weeks, a special appearance from a Guest Musician who'll share their perspective from the artist's side of the glass.
