UPDATE:  Thursday, December 1st 2011                        Welcome!                                               

Hello to all those connected to us past, present and future.  Here is our latest update:  We're excited to say the construction on our new studio is nearing completion, although if there's one thing that's been consistent throughout this entire project, it's been that everything has taken much more time to finish than originally estimated!  In total, we estimate that the studio is 75-80% complete as of the date of this post.  The control room, vocal isolation room, drum room and storage room are 90% complete and are ready for the next phase of the construction which will be: painting.  Currently, we're installing the drywall for the live room and the siding of exterior walls.  Once that is complete we'll need to finish the last of the framing to build the doorway for the storage room and a new wall and doorway that will create a sound lock chamber between the outside entrance and the live room.  Then we'll need to insulate and sheetrock those walls and when that's done we'll begin painting the entire studio.  When the painting is done we'll install the last layer of flooring, (the subfloor is already done, so what remains is the hardwood flooring for the live room and control room, pad and carpet for the iso room, polishing and painting the concrete floor in the drum room and nothing needs to be done to the concrete floor in the storage room).  After that, we'll install the windows for the iso room, control room and drum room and install all the doors throughout the entire studio.  Then we'll install the trim and molding and voila!  The construction will be finished!  After that, it'll probably take a week or so to move in all our equipment, get it all wired, hooked-up and tested.  We've also got a TON of acoustic foam to slap on the walls and ceiling, so there might even be two weeks of work there!  But following that, we'll be having a truly GRAND Opening Celebration!  And after that, we'll get busy working on your projects!  To get a peek at the latest work, see the pics below.  We owe our unending gratitude to Ms. Stephanie Alderman, a very generous lady who made a very generous donation to purchase about half of the building materials, and to Mr. Don Schwab, a very generous, incredibly knowledgeable and talented man who has been serving as the GC for the project, all on donated time!  Many other people have also helped us by way of offering building materials at deeply discounted prices and in some cases, for free!  More updates will undoubtedly come as we continue and we apologize for not updating as frequently as we'd at first hoped.  When the construction in it's final phase, we'll start booking sessions, but there will be some preference given to those who have already been waiting for a long time to get in (you know who you are!).  At this point we hope to start booking sessions by mid-to-late December, but since we've been SO far off on all time estimates from the very beginning, we can't guarantee this estimate will be anywhere near accurate either!  So, please bear with us!

To those waiting for existing projects to be completed - we're almost done, but please give us just a little bit more of your patience.  We hope you understand, there will be further delays as we continue building!  To everyone else, if your new projects can't wait 'til we're up and running again, we understand your situation and encourage you to consider the other service providers linked to this siteThank You for your patience! - JC Music Connection Management

Although the actual construction has changed quite a bit from the original design, the pics below will give you a rough idea of what the finished studio will look like when it's all done.  In the original design the drum area is open.  The actual area is an fully enclosed room.  Also, there's no "sound lock" in the original design, but there will be one in the final constructed version.  But, click the images below and you'll still get a very a good idea.  (A pdf reader is required to view these pictures.)
