Masterdisk, founded in 1973 and owned and operated by expert engineer Scott Hull since 2008, is “one of the most enduring mastering facilities in the world” (Mix magazine). The NYC studio has mastered many of the world’s most famous records, and continues to master for major labels, indie labels and independent artists. Masterdisk masters for vinyl as well as digital: they have one of only a few existing Neumann VMS-80 lacquer cutting lathes on-site, and the expert engineers to use it to the best of its formidable capabilities.

Clear Track Studios is Tampa Bay and Florida’s world-class recording, mixing and music production facility, designed and built from the ground up to give established and emerging artists alike their best quality recordings and music-making experience. (Featuring SSL, Neve, API, Studer, CLASP, Avid ICON...) Clear Track’s Music Production Team involves a wide variety of noted producers and professional engineers, musicians and songwriters of varying generations and genres, including multi-platinum award winning talents. Rock, Pop, Dance, Electronic, Blues, Country, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Rap, Latin, Opera, Classical and more. The professionals here and the studio itself are truly “all about the music.” There’s no big corporate mentality, just decades of experience driven by a passion for making great sounding music—all culminating in 2010 with the opening of Clear Track’s Studio A. Every aspect of the studio was decided upon and brought into place by progressive rock and blues multi-instrumentalist and head engineer, Mike Johnson. In his mid-twenties, after 8 years of studio design research, the Connecticut native met with world-renown studio designer Wes Lachot during the summer of 2008. It was then he knew he wouldn’t cut any corners, rolling up his sleeves to “do it right,” and working with Wes to design not only a full-blown, pro studio, but the best sounding room in Florida. Wes, who had just finished designing Manifold Recording (nominated for a TEC Award), approved of the perfect building and drew up the plans with Mike. After nearly two years of blood, sweat and tears and massive attention to detail, we opened Studio A’s doors in February 2010 to serve Tampa Bay musicians and artists across the globe. We want to see a thriving music establishment on Florida’s West Coast by helping up-and-coming and already-established artists alike have a great time making music for their listeners—at a level of quality that can truly expand a music career.
