A big thanks to Kendra, for showing us around Jackpot the other day!…read more I have worked in some really incredible studios in my life and all our unique in different ways. Jackpot feels at home to any musician who loves gear and loves to play with people in the same room. It's cozy and the colorful walls make for a fun environment to create. Neve 5088 board looked in perfect condition.. In fact everything was spotless. Tape machines and digital options, affordable prices for the room 350 a day for all this gear and the space if a deal, and the engineers daily rates make it a very accessible studio for starters or veteran rockers a like! Looking forward to cutting some tracks here!

Every single person we dealt with - Eric, Ami and Stephen - were exceptionally positive, helpful and calm. Our event prep was disrupted by a snow storm and they flexed and supported us so we could focus on all the other things needing attention due to weather. They were a true joy to work with and their prices were exceptional compared to everyone else we spoke with. I will not only use them again and recommend them to others, but I made sure to get their cards to share with the manager of the venue we used. They were that good. Next level.

His great skill doesn't come cheap - about USD $75-$100/hour, less for a full session I'm sure. If you've got the money and time, he's worth every penny. Even if you're a "home studio whiz", it's worth the couple $100's to have Ryan master your CD before release - he is without a doubt the best mastering engineer on the west coast (think: Portland's Bob Ludwig.) Again, not cheap, but you get more than what you pay for, and it's relaxed, fun and friendly. Recommended!

KQAC is a broadcast station, FM in the area, and streaming. They are classical music…read more So Yelpers may ask, what is the purpose of KQAC All Classical today and what is the place of classical music today? Streaming is curated by AI/the algorithm. All Classical has shows curated by people, such as The Score. The Score - https://www.thescore.org/ - is about movie scores and the creator has special unique access to the composers. To relevance, babies and young children exposed to music are shown to have strong mathematical ability later. I visited their new studios downtown in the KOIN tower for a free Thursday afternoon guest musician live broadcast. They built a small concert hall. Thursday free concerts, register online in advance, have live musicians and an announcer introducing and narrating. The concerts are on-line for a listen for 2 weeks. I heard a piano concert, the player, described as "performer of near-superhuman technical prowess" by the NY times, knew a good friend whose father was a composer. In the same show, Storm Large, again friends of friends, sang some classical music, with a good back and forth with the announcer. The crowd ran older, as the schedule was mid-afternoon, but it would be a good day date and for elementary students on up who are interested in classical music and the particular show. That concert hall has a large LED 16 by 9 foot screen and holds 100 seated. It can be rented for concerts, recordings, dance performances, dinners, parties, workshops, conferences, and more. They have a full catering kitchen. They have a series of projects to stay relevant such as a young musician fellowship, working with local composers, and their International Children's Arts Network. They have a live camera from their old location showing the Willamette River - https://www.allclassical.org/tili-cam/ - with their music stream. And they have a good classical music calendar https://www.allclassical.org/events/ All Classical is available 24x7, has some unique programs, a gem of studios, is a gateway to the network of classical music in the region, and has weekly free concerts!

It's great to have a station dedicated entirely and exclusively to classical music. The hosts are…read morevery good--pleasant and entertaining to listen to. The biggest problem with the station, at least in the listener's opinion, is that the playlist is dominated by big, gushy, booming 19th-century symphonies. How many people actually enjoy them? To be sure, "symphonies" are for many the pinnacle of classical music. But I dare say that for many, and perhaps for most, symphonies are often predictable and uninteresting. When I turn on KQAC, I'd say at least 7 times out of 10, I turn it right back off b/c of yet another oceanic storm of sound being blasted over the airwaves. Solo pieces, chamber music, early choral music, or contemporary pieces should form a much larger part of the playlist.
