What is “The Abyss” you ask?  It’s a place where rogue resonating sound waves go to die….and it’s also the code name for the newly constructed vocal isolation booth in the studio.  Da beej and me put on our hard hats and work gloves this past weekend to develop the storage closet in the back of the live room into a fully functioning vocal booth.  Unfortunately we didn’t have a chance to take any pictures of our hard work, but once we take care of a few finishing touches we’ll finally be able to put together our “tour of the studio” photo gallery.

The addition of the iso booth to the studio adds a lot of functionality.  Not only is the booth a great acoustic environment to record vocals,  it also will serve as another room to separate live performers and isolate guitar amps….all good things.

Woohoo!

Welp, the decorations are up, the cookies are in the oven and all the familiar songs of the season are on the stereo…that means it’s time to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and happy holidays!

It’s been a big year for VRex.  In March we moved into our studio and kicked off a new era in the evolution of the recording studio/label.  The new space was a much needed upgrade and solidified our presence in Walla Walla…  and what’s a new space without some new gear to start tweaking?  With that in mind we made a significant investment in the quality of our services by upgrading our board, mics, instruments and computer equipment.  Lastly, thanks to the substantial effort and genius of our very own Jake Carlson, we finally started a complete overhaul and redesign of the website.  Though we didn’t meet all of our goals for the year (most notably putting on an all-ages rock concert in Walla Walla…still in the works, stay tuned), we still did pretty well, and 2010 is setting up to be another huge year for us.

Well, it’s time for some shameless marketing tactics.  We are trying to move up the google list for Walla Walla Recording Studio searches, so I thought it might be worthwhile to mention that we are a recording studio in Walla Walla and any musician looking to record music in Walla Walla should check out our recording services…phew, that ought to do it.

Seriously though, we really are trying to get our name out there as a resource for all levels of musicians in the Walla Walla area.  We just want to make music and make musicians happy.  So if that sounds like something you are into, then be sure to drop us a comment or send an email our way.  

Rock and Roar,
