Hey GS, been reading a lot but haven't really posted much. This is a photoblog of our basement studio: Unearthed Audio, located in North Chicagoland. This project is between myself, Ariel Loh and my friend Austin Lutter. We both just finished our first year at recording/produciton school, myself at SUNY Purchase College (NY), and Austin at Flashpoint Academy (Chicago), and this is our summer project. Here are pictures from the construction of the live room, pictures of the control room will be up as its completed.
