A backseat view of the control center and 72 track board in one of Chicago Recording Company's big studios.

Looking immediately left from the control console is the room where they put the trombones.

Still on the left but in front of the trombone room is where the trumpets are placed.

The room directly in front of the control center is where the saxophones or flutes are placed depending on what part of the score they are recording.

To the right of the center room with the saxophones you will find a main room where the piano is located and is sometimes shared with guitars.  Just past the piano is a room for the drummer, and to the right more studios for the bass and vocalists.

A partial view of the VIP seating area behind the control console in Chicago Recording Company's Studio 4.  If you saw the movie "Ocean's 12" you have seen this studio before as part of it was filmed here.

In Studio 10 at Chicago Recording Company working on the final vocal tracks for her new album.  Unlike the large studios upstairs where the band and orchestra sessions took place, this small studio is a very relaxing place for singers with plush furniture, soft lighting, and a very "unique" decor.

One of the orchestra recording sessions done at Tone Zone Studios in Chicago.  The high ceilings and unique acoustics here make it ideal for recording strings.  Here you also see star conductor Colin Welford getting ready to lead the session.
