Frogville Studio build Santa Fe New Mexico 2009

10 year project..broke new ground august 2009..new studio opened open for biz april 2010, but is still a work in progress...."mission accomplished" ...2012 still tweaking / adding treatment... need a ton of gear and microphones still...but we got a great tracking room and a well treated CR and vocal booth so fAR...still working on video/tv line of sight...working on the upstairs bunkhouse that sleeps 8....update end.

We started recording in my living room for sh#ts and giggles 7 years ago. Ok , no we were very serious co-op of artists and musicians set out to make the perfect recording place with the right vibe for those artists to thrive and record. 900+/- sf. Adobe. 14-16" thick walls. brick floor, vigas/cedar ceiling.
Since then we have recorded over 75 albums and our reputation around these parts is fantastic. We have been dreaming of expanding for , well....about 7 years!
We are adding 2200 sf to the existing 900 sf and hopefully we can get the big rooms sounding great by January 2010. well scratch that date....hopefully we will be fully open by March 2010....WE OPENED BACK UP IN JUNE 2010

here is a digital napkin drawing of the expansion:



here is a pic of the original house / studio (my wife and I live upstairs, studio consumed the downstairs):



I should have started this thread back in August when we broke ground, but I will try and catch you up asap!stike
