About Me


Alta Vista Recording was started by Tom Johnson in 1994. He outgrew his Travis Heights (South Austin, TX) location in 1998, and asked Fletcher Clark if he would design the new studio. Fletcher was so intrigued that someone had actually asked his advice before “they put the walls in the wrong place,” that he agreed. What ensued was a recording environment that sounds better than many studios ( the sound of the rooms themselves are a vital, but often overlooked, factor to making great music) charging 3 or 4 times more per hour. We believe that superb sounds are achieved by putting the artist in the right place in the room, with right mic in the right spot. When the vibe is relaxing, supportive, and fun, the artist is most likely to perform at his or her best, and that is when magic can happen.
