| Housed in Asheville’s original Salvation Army building, the new API studio finds the perfect balance of old and new. The 9600 square foot, 3 story building gives our clients a myriad of recording possibilities. The George Augspurger designed control room is on the bottom floor of the studio, along with a main space and 4 isolation rooms with incredible sight lines. There is also a comfortable lounge, seating area, and shower that doubles as an echo chamber. For a larger room sound, the API studio has an open tracking space on the second floor with tie lines to the control room. Cameras and monitors are available for clients who want to use both spaces. With a variety of vintage microphones and amps, and analog and digital options we can create the environment that a client needs to be their creative best. |

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
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.”
