UPDATE:  Monday, February 13th 2012                        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 85-90% complete as of the date of this update.  The framing, insulating, installation of resilient channel and hanging all layers of drywall, (a minimum of 2 layers), is now 100% finished in ALL SIX rooms! That is the control room, the live room, vocal isolation room, drum room, sound lock and storage room!  The next job is to mud, tape and sand all drywall joints on the final layers.  When that's done we'll begin the next phase of construction: painting.  When the painting is done we'll install hardwood floors in the control room, live room and drum 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.  Next we'll install carpet in the sound lock and vocal isolation room, and last we'll install the trim and moulding everywhere. And then, 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 great deal of acoustic treatment to slap on the walls and ceilings after we've run sound tests to determine the best placement.  So, there might be up to two more weeks of work even after all the construction is finished.  But following that, we'll be having our Grand Opening Celebration!  And after that, we'll get busy working on your projects!  The pics below aren't the most current, but a lot of new pictures will be coming soon.   And now, as we always mention with every update: we owe our unending gratitude to Ms. Stephanie Alderman, a very generous lady who made a very generous donation to purchase much 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 donated hours of work and still others have helped 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 is in the 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 March, 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 site.  Thank 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.)
