Chip ran this Studio after three years at Robert Lang Studios.  These new Audio & Video Studios, with the Theater, took us 3 years to design & build from a total retro-fit & remodel.  I was not the owner, but the sole Engineer - hence the birth of ButterSound.  Including pictures and experiences provide a great depth to understanding the foundation that ButterSound Studios & "The REC Room" are built on.
