Classic Style Studio Ideally Crafted to Thrive in Modern Recording Industry

In today's recording industry, hundreds of thousands of dollars can be spent producing just one album. There are recording studios, however, where the word retro applies to finances as well as the overall vibe of the place. Take Arizona music studio Uranus Recording of Tempe, where less than $10,000 can produce a world-class recording that would cost $50,000 in most comparable studios. Yet the price tag is not the only thing reminiscent of years past at this world-class Tempe recording studio. Its Atomic Age theme emulates the classic music production studio of the Fifties and Sixties when musicians understood and appreciated the possibilities and value of Live Room acoustics.

Gin Blossoms lead singer Robin Wilson built this retro-style Arizona recording studio inside the Tempe Creamery Complex - a registered historical Arizona landmark. The Live Room in Wilson's Tempe music studio is a 22' x 24' x 10' space featuring hand made acoustic treatments, allowing musicians who record here to achieve a fuller, more organic sound than in the acoustically "dead" booths and studio rooms typically favored since the Seventies.

Of course, the best acoustics in the world mean little on an album without the right recording equipment for quality music production. Wilson's full-service Arizona recording studio is equipped with Pro Tools HD and a Neve sidecar mixing console, as well as a host of mics, guitars, amps, pedals, and electrical outlets too numerous to mention. In addition to the Live Room and control room, Uranus Recording has a vintage bank vault turned custom-built isolation booth, and what's become a famous signature wall in the bathroom where musicians mark their permanent place in the rich musical history of this Tempe recording studio.

Some of the biggest names in music have recorded in this Arizona music studio. The Gin Blossoms wrote and demoed material there for their Platinum LP, "Congratulations I'm Sorry." Lee Hazelwood and his legendary guitarist Al Casey, who together pioneered the Arizona rock scene and went to write number one hits for Duane Eddy and record some of the biggest hits of the 1960s, recorded here twice. And Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, Arizona's biggest live draw, called the recording of their most recent album, "No More Beautiful World, at Uranus "the best time we've ever had making a record."

When it comes to producing an album in the modern music industry, musicians often must choose between top-of-the-line music production and affordability. But at Tempe music studio Uranus Recording, you get both - access to the world's finest equipment and professional acoustics for a fraction of what you'd normally pay for the best record you can possibly make.
