Room

 

FreeSpirit Studio is a detached, free-standing building, quietly and privately tucked away behind the home of owner Ray Sanchiz. Constructed over a period of two years, the studio was designed from the ground up to be a quality recording environment. From the floated hardwood floors and isolated wall plates to comfortable seating and theatrical lighting, ease and efficiency in creating a quality recorded product were of foremost consideration during construction. Centrally located in northwest Dallas near Midway Road and Walnut Hill Lane (Mapsco grid 24J), the studio is readily accessible from all adjacent cities. Although the studio has been operating since February '96, many improvements, upgrades, and finishing touches have been made during this period and as in all progressive studio environments, will continue to improve to meet your needs.
