THE BARN

RECORDING ◈ STUDIO

Record with The Oven from anywhere. Remote mix and master: send your session over the internet, get it back finished. Mobile recording: the rig comes to you. In person: full sessions are running right now in a stone house in the woods, Austin area, by appointment. The Barn, our steel-beam build, is the next room going up.

Same engineers every way. A lifetime of hands-on recording, production, mixing, and mastering, guided by instinct, taste, and real-world experience, not a rate card.
