Our two rooms have an impressive mic and outboard gear selection to compliment the Neve 8068 and the API 3288 consoles. We have all the comforts of home to put you in the space to be at your creative best. Our experienced staff will welcome you and make sure all your needs are taken care of.

Housing

Studio House
Pool
Echo Mountain offers housing for our out of town clients. Between our two houses, we can satisfy any of our clients tastes. One house is located in the historic neighborhood of Montford and is just a mile from the studio. This house has four bedrooms, two baths, and a large kitchen. It's in walking distance to downtown and the studio. It's a great place for clients who want to bring their family for an extended stay. Our other house is 2.5 miles from the studio yet is in much more of a country setting. This four bedroom, two and a half bathroom house has an acre and half fenced yard which is perfect if you want to bring your pooch. There is also an organic garden and in-ground pool. In the summer, we show movies on the side of the old horse barn. This house is perfect for clients who like a little more isolation in a rustic setting. And it's just a short cab ride to downtown! Take a look at our tour page for more photos of each house.

Video Production

We recognize that being in the studio is a great opportunity to get material for promotion down the road. With the visual aesthetics of the studio and our professional production crew, we can create all sorts of media. Everything from capturing raw material to be edited at a later date to a fully produced music video, we can do it.
Check out this shoot we did with local band Toubab Krewe and the Bob Moog Foundation. Check out this video we did during a Daytrotter session with Gary Jules.

The Lab

The Lexington Avenue Brewery is a microbrewery located just a few blocks from the studio. Their wide range of beers, like their Chocolate Porter and their White Ale, compliment the tasty menu. In the back of the restaurant is a 100 person capacity venue. Above the place sits, Sweet Peas Hostel. Great for someone just passing through town for a night or two. http://www.lexavebrew.com/ http://www.sweetpeashostel.com/

In The Studio
Justin Townes Earle
Justin Townes Earle
I have to say, there's not a better way to ease into the craziness of Moogfest than spending a week with Justin Townes Earle and his crew. Justin and his crew set up in the Church studio for a week of analog recording. With an extremely talented band, and highly qualified production staff, they hammered out all the tracking in no time. We're excited to hear the finished product once it's all said and done. He's the winner of the 2011 Americana Music Awards Song of the Year for his previous album. We're sure the future is pretty bright for this talented artist and his band.

Steep Canyon Rangers
Steep Canyon Rangers
It was nice to have our hometown friends of Steep Canyon set up in the API studio for a bit of time. The past year has taken the Steep Canyon Rangers to new heights. In March 2011, the band released its first collaborative record with Steve Martin, ”Rare Bird Alert” (also recorded here at our studio) which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Bluegrass Chart and at #43 on the Billboard Top 200. In 2010, the latest solo record from Steep Canyon Rangers, ”Deep In The Shade”, remained in the Bluegrass Top 10 on Billboard for 18 weeks. While headlining festivals like MerleFest and Bonnaroo alongside Steve Martin for part each year, the Rangers continue to perform alone as a quintet on stages such as Telluride, RockyGrass, and ”A Prairie Home Companion” with Garrison Keillor. Recent television appearances by Steve Martin with Steep Canyon Rangers include ”Late Night With David Letterman”, ”The Colbert Report” & ”Austin City Limits.”
