Since we started out in the early 1970’s, we’ve always found innovative ways to make our clients happy. At the time, digital echo or reverb didn’t quite exist, so we created an echo chamber in the empty basement swimming pool of the Old English Tudor home, that was once owned by baseball’s Ty Cobb, where the studio was originally housed.
At the time, we revolutionized the post business by truly catering to the client. Because of our talent and the quality of the afternoon cocktails we served, expansion soon became necessary and in 1976, we leased 3,800 feet of space in what is now our present main location.
Trying to keep Opie Cunningham happy and in two-places-at once during Backdraft, George Lucas (yeah, the Star Wars guy) figured out a way to hook his Skywalker Ranch in Marin County to LA Studios (in LA). He got together with Bad Animals in Seattle, CRC in Chicago, Howard Schwartz in New York and Ron Rose Productions in Detroit to form the first data link of commercial recording facilities in the world. We called it the "Lucas Loop"; later it became EDNet. Suddenly everyone wanted to know what ISDN was (I Still Don't kNow). We're just happy to be a part of anything that pleases our clients.
In the years since, there have been an extraordinary number of advances in technology and we’ve stayed ahead of the curve on every last one of them. Today, we now have over 15,000 square feet of knobs and buttons that would make NASA jealous, but when you come to us, you’ll still find friendly people dedicated to serving your needs. And instead of afternoon cocktails, we built a whole damn bar!
