Forty years ago this July, Lee Caroll opened Studio West of San Diego. A few weeks ago Lee stopped by the studio for a visit. Needless to say, we think he was impressed by the studio's longevity, and proud to see that it is still so well respected in the audio industry!

Things have changed a lot since Lee opened the doors. The facility was originally located in the Kearney Mesa area and relocated in 1986 to Rancho Bernardo, where we're currently located. When Peter Dyson bought Studio West in 2004, he added an extra studio to the arsenal increasing the facility to three studios and two edit suites. In 2006 we added a couple of classrooms and opened TRAC - The Recording Arts Center, our Education and Training division, bringing Audio Engineering and Avid Pro Tools certifications to San Diego County. By January of 2012, we're expecting to offer a year-long Occupational Associates Degree in Recording Arts with over 30 different classes included in the program.
While Lee was visiting, George Varga from the San Diego Union Tribune dropped in to do a little interview about the milestone. Click here to read the article and find out a little more about the history of Studio West.
Celebration has continued and this past week Brad Perry of Good Morning San Diego stopped by to do a piece on the studio and listen in on a demo that was being recorded in Studio A. Click below to watch the video:
Thank you, San Diego - here's to the next 40 years!
