In my case, I've been using Avid (fka Digidesign) ProTools as my weapon of choice and have been using it since a very early version of the software and hardware on what now seems like an ancient Macintosh computer.

Instead, it's about another kind of birth.   One of the most satisfying things about running a recording studio is seeing the whole lifecycle of a music project through from end to end.   From pre-production meetings and planning all the way through the production and, eventually, into the universe via streaming platforms, CDs and/or vinyl.

Bookings for the studio started to fill up our calendar and music was made!  Hearing the very first notes played and recorded in our new rooms was satisfying in so many ways.  It was the completion of a vision that we've had for many years and instantly made the effort along the way entirely worth it.   The rooms sounds great and everything is working as it should.
