Morrisound Recording Information

Morrisound is located in Northeast Tampa, close to I-75, I-275 and I-4 and also convenient to Tampa International Airport.

After picking a rental location in Tampa with the highest available ceilings, and spending 6 months building and wiring the interior, Morrisound became the first new 24 track facility on the west coast of Florida. Four years after opening the building (in November of 1981), the studio had outgrown the original storefront and moved up to an empty one acre wooded lot in the north end of Tampa (near the University of South Florida). In November of 1985 the only facility on the west coast of Florida designed solely as an audio recording facility opened for business. This is the current site of Morrisound Recording.
