Our digital recording studio, inaptly named “Cthia Productions,” has been a work in progress since 1983.  It has moved over the years from California to Virginia to three different locations in northern California.

Its primary use is for project “electronic recording/mixing” (in other words, there is no dedicated acoustic recording space).  It is primarily a very high-end private studio, consisting mostly of keyboard and MIDI modules, disk and tape recording systems, and dedicated effects.

There is a large collection of software and samples.

Because this is a private/personal studio, equipment hours are very low, and there has been no “manhandling.”  Almost all equipment and software were purchased new.
