Congrats - I toured the website and your studio looks great. Great story on your humble begginnings. I love the fact that you deisgned the studio yourself, there are obvioulsy people who appreciate the sound of the room.

Is most of your business band related (rock , Jazz) Or do you supplement it with other work (i.e. post). Is your marketing mainly word of mouth?

May the future bring you andyour studio another fruitful 25 years, cheers!

Wow, cool room and it's not that far from me! How far are you from the Sara St. Grille & downtown Stroudsburg? If the schedule permits I'd love to stop in the next time I'm out that way.

You must be doing something right if you can keep a studio afloat and running for 25 years in the Western NJ/PA area! I've had a couple of friends open rooms and they're gone in under five years.

Congrats!

Kent,
Big congrats to you and Lois. Not only have you built a really nice and beautiful studio but you show an obvious love and care for the people that work with you. In todays climate of studio's dying on the vine I wish both of you many many more years of success and great sessions.

The website looks great. I love the timeline pictures that show all the care and attention you have taken over the years.

Best wishes,
Michael Greene

Congrats! Site looks great


Your studio is 2 years younger than I am, that's almost freaky.

Nice rooms, I love the stone wall. I've been thinking of doing the same thing, might be brick though. Great work !!!!!!!

Congratulations on your Quarter Century Anniversary!!!

I looked at you site - very nice job. I liked the history section, especially how you got the loan from the 10th bank (hope they don't see it ).

Best wishes to you for the next 25!

Thanks everyone.

It was a lot of fun building the site. My goal was to try to convey the atmosphere here and to make a site that would give musicians and engineers what they need to know: The rooms and the gear! And, of course, have everything work and not crash your computer!
I had a great guy build the site. He was like a good engineer. He did what I wanted and made it better than I could have myself.
I'm glad that some checked out the history section. It was fun looking back and figuring out how many times I ripped the place apart! And now you know I didn't inherit a bunch of money and build a studio. Don't you hate when that happens?

Jay, hope to see you next week.
djui5, thanks for making me feel old! 51 is not old!

If you're ever in the Poconos...........

Congratulations! That is a great sight and story, very inspiring.

Hey also, I love the fact that the rack equipment is in the wall and starts waist high and goes up. It has always killed me having to fiddle with a compressor that is 5 inches off the ground and try to hear the difference?! I've been wanting to do something like this at my place.

Seriously congrats, 25 years is quite an accomplishment to go that long doing what you love!
