The Bethesda studio is our original “Blue Room” designed and built in 2010. This studio features a funky and creative Control Room with Pro Tools HDX, our exotic Live Room downstairs with a vaulted ceiling, and a WhisperRoom vocal booth for vocal & instrument overdubs. This studio is perfect for mixing/mastering work, voiceovers, or other vocal overdubs. Contact us today for a studio tour!
