The studio started out in baseball great Ty Cobb’s house in the neighborhood just northwest of 10 mile and Southfield roads. Being built in 1929, the old English Tudor home was actually kind of spooky…but definitely cool. In one huge room in the basement was a swimming pool. While it did not function as such, it made a great natural echo chamber. Digital echo or reverb was non-existent at this time (the early ‘70s) so this alone made us pretty unique. It wasn’t the only thing.

Sure there were other studios at the time. None however, were as pretty, friendly or served cocktails. We were the first in the country to really cater to the client. Because of our popularity, expansion soon became necessary and in 1976, we leased 3,800 feet of space in what is now our present main location.

In the early ‘80s, George Lucas (yeah, THE George Lucas) was looking for a way to hook Skywalker Ranch in Marin county to his LA studios. George got together with Bad Animals in Seattle, CRC in Chicago, Howard Schwartz in New York and Ron Rose Productions to form the first satellite link of commercial recording facilities in the world. It was at this time that the audio business truly became tied nation-wide.

There have been an extraordinary number of advances in technology since and yet, we’ve always managed to stay ahead of the curve. Rest assured that even though our main location alone is now over 15,000 square feet, when you come to us, you'll still find beautiful studios, friendly people and instead of just a cocktail, we’ve built a bar!
