Marc has been operating as a partner with Dave and his knowledge of sound reinforcement guarantees that any job will be a success. If you've been to a wedding in Central Oregon, you've probably seen Marc in action. :)
Since the opening of Studio 7, Marc has engineered over 20 Albums and many commercial spots. Marc has earned the reputation as "the best rock and roll engineer around" by our clients. Marc is known for BIG sounds from local bands. Perhaps the greatest compliment we've heard lately is that our projects "sound analogue" even though we use "Pro-Tools" digital recording software. One thing is for sure...lot's of businesses use Pro-Tools, but without the real tool's of the trade, your project is limited. What are the true tools of the trade? Marc's ears!
