Our Misson is to create a great place to make music

---

Building a professional music recording studio presents a unique set of challenges, from acoustically treating the space to ensure perfect sound isolation, to selecting and integrating top-tier gear like mixing consoles, microphones, and audio processors. It also requires balancing cutting-edge technology with the creative atmosphere that inspires artists, all while managing budget constraints and meeting the technical demands of high-quality recording. 

The first thing we needed to do was understand the building’s natural acoustics, so we dove right in—recording in various spots, both upstairs and down, searching for the perfect places to capture those killer vocal and drum sounds. Once we had a feel for the space, we made our move. We decided to install sound booths on the second floor and decked out the studio with sound panels and bass traps from GIK Acoustics—some custom-built by Chuck himself.

Next up: gear. Chuck’s experience with his band The Damn Liars, along with working alongside industry legends like Hellhound Glory and Grammy-winning producers, gave us some knowledge of the equipment needed to create professional recordings. With Chuck’s experience and countless hours of research, we began the exciting process of building our setup—a project that’s still evolving.

It’s been nearly six years of hard work, investment, and discovery to get where we are now, and every step has been extraordinary. But this is just the beginning. Join us on this creative journey and be part of the magic. Click the button below to check out our current gear lineup!

In 2018, Brad and Terry—better known to their grandkids as Papa and Yai Yai—made a big decision: it was time to sell their beloved family home in Utah. But they weren't just selling a house; they were embarking on a new adventure, looking to invest in something special. That’s when their son Chuck, living in the Sacramento Valley, started scouting potential properties.

One day, while Terry was visiting, Chuck came across an intriguing building in Marysville. Curious, they both went to check it out, and the moment they stepped inside, they were captivated. The building’s character and charm were undeniable—it just felt right. And as they say, the rest is history. They purchased the building and set the foundation for what would soon become Peach City Sound, their next great venture!

From 1950 to 1969, music recording studios revolutionized popular music with groundbreaking innovations. The 1950s saw the rise of rock 'n' roll, fueled by independent studios like Sun Studio in Memphis and Chess Records in Chicago, recording legends such as Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry. The 1960s introduced multitrack recording, enabling richer, more complex productions, with iconic studios like Abbey Road and Motown's Hitsville U.S.A. leading the charge. By the late 1960s, studios became creative instruments, exemplified by experimental albums like Pet Sounds and Sgt. Pepper’s. This transformative period laid the foundation for modern music production.

The 1970s transformed the music recording industry with advancements like multitrack recording, synthesizers, and portable formats like cassettes. Iconic genres flourished, including disco, punk rock, classic rock, and singer-songwriter movements, while hip-hop began in the Bronx. Major labels dominated, but indie labels supported emerging genres. The focus on albums as art grew, alongside early use of music videos. These innovations and cultural shifts made the 1970s a defining decade for modern music.

The 1980s introduced digital recording, MIDI technology, and compact discs (CDs), revolutionizing sound quality and distribution. Synth-heavy genres like new wave, pop, and electronic music flourished, with iconic artists such as Michael Jackson and Madonna. MTV launched in 1981, making music videos a key promotional tool.

The 1990s saw the dominance of grunge, hip-hop, and boy bands. Digital production tools, like Pro Tools, became standard. CDs reached peak popularity, while Napster (1999) signaled the rise of digital piracy, disrupting traditional distribution models.

The 2000s marked the decline of physical formats and the rise of MP3s, fueled by platforms like iTunes. Streaming services like Spotify and Pandora emerged, reshaping how music was consumed. Artists adapted to the shift by focusing on singles and digital promotion.

By the 2010s, streaming dominated the industry, with platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube leading the charge. Social media became essential for artist discovery and engagement. Genres like hip-hop and EDM became global phenomena, driven by digital tools and collaboration.

In the 2020s, AI tools influenced music creation and production. NFTs provided artists new revenue streams. Despite digital dominance, vinyl made a nostalgic comeback. Platforms like TikTok reshaped music marketing, making viral moments critical to success.

From analog to digital to AI-driven innovation, the music recording industry continuously adapted to technological and cultural shifts, redefining how music is created, distributed, and consumed.
