Done!

I suppose this is to be the final post of my humble blog. We've been in our new space for just over a month, and we couldn't be happier. In fact, it's safe to say we'll be pinching ourselves for a while to come. Thanks are hardly sufficient, so I'll simply acknowledge the following folks once again:

Architect Brian Gaddis - BEG Architects.
Studio Designer David Rochester - Technical Audio Services
Builders Tracy Reitzell and Jerry Hyde - Denver Construction
Interior Design Consultant Bobbie Cox - Custom Dragonfly Designs

And then there were all those pros working on all those crews from all those subs...too many to mention. The quality of their work is clearly on display.

Throughout the process I was constantly asking, "How can we...?", and these folks always had an answer - or came up with one in short order.

Now I suppose you'd like some proper photographs. All images by Graham Smith, Red Pepper Photography.

Let's start at the front door. I think the front entrance and lobby look especially great at night.


As you head straight down the main corridor, the first room is kitchen/break room.


Down the hall and to the right is Control Room A. Here are shots toward the front and rear of the room where our sound designer/mixer Anthony Fedele spends his day.



Go out Anthony's door, turn right, and the next door is Studio 2, our primary VO/ADR booth - which also gets used for instrumental overdubs. To give you an idea of the room's scale, here are shots from a vertical and horizontal perspective.



Exit Studio 2, turn the corner, and at the end of the hall is Control Room B. Composer and guitarist Michael McGinnis does his magic here.



If you circle back to the front lobby and take the other hallway you'll find the offices, Control Room C and Studio 3. Here's a shot of Studio 3, our small vocal booth.


And finally, Control Room C - where yours truly does his thing.



Like any project of this magnitude, there were ups and downs. (The downs were primarily financing issues. The big meltdown happened right in the middle of construction.) There were challenges, large and small. But ultimately, I can't say enough good things about the team we had working with us on our new facility. Their passion for the project and commitment to nailing the details will always be appreciated.

Thank you for visiting, and I hope we don't do this again for A VERY LONG TIME!

All the best,
Fred Story
