Established by Scotty Crane in 1992 and designed by award winning acoustician Chips Davis, Soundhouse is the first studio to be built from the ground up in Seattle. Soundhouse is home to a vintage 40 input Trident 80B, a Studer A827 - 24 Track Analog Deck, a ProTools 32 Track Digital recording system - and the finest in new and vintage outboard gear.
Managed by legendary producer Jack Endino, Soundhouse is not a cold, overcoming recording complex, and it is not the basement studio in your neighbors garage. Soundhouse provides the level of comfort, acoustics and technical sophistication essential for the creative artist of today. Our live room features high ceilings, clear sight lines, hardwood floors, antique rugs, and an impressive microphone collection. The studio is located ten minutes away from Pike Place Market in downtown Seattle, and within blocks of many restaurants and coffee houses. Oh yeah, and it Rocks. Hard.

On to some other news. . .
I had a Gospel session in awhile back, and was going for a 1940's / 1950 vocal sound. I used the RCA 77 DX Ribbon - into the Altec 1567A Tube Mic Pre - into the LA-2A Tube Compressor and into the Summit Tube EQ - then into Protools.
Holy Sh*t! It was AWESOME sounding. I'm now formally engaged to the RCA Ribbon Mic and the Altec Tube Mic Pre.
On a Hard Rock session - I used a Unidyne III USA Shure 57 into the Altec tube pre - on Endino's Fender Twin Reverb Amp (the only amp used on BLEACH), and then again on his JMP 70's Marshall amp . . .. and once again . . Holy Sh*t! You have to hear this thing. The Altec blows me away.
Next up . . . I tried the Altec on the the Neumann Tube 47 and on the RCA DX 77 as drum room and hallway drum mics! Squashed both with the Blue Face 1776's and . . . Move over Andy Johns . . . Houses of the Holy SH*T! - I broke the Levee. And I won. Seriously.
It of course helped that the drummer (Byron Vannoy) was amazing and had a vintage 70's Superphonic Snare. Thing killed me. I love great players. Great players - sound good on crap instruments . . . but give them the right tools . .. and you see GOD!
So that's that. Cool.
