Dear Friends,

We are pleased to announce some awesome major changes at Forge Recording. We've recently enhanced our studios to better serve our clients in the music industry.
 
In addition to our world-class Walters-Storyk designed studio "A," we have amped up our facilities by launching studios "B" and "C." These new production rooms offer engineers and teachers the opportunity to provide audio instruction and music lessons in a high quality studio at an affordable rate.

Lead Engineer, Ron DiSilvestro, is hosting monthly audio engineering workshops for freelance producers and engineers. 

Indy office desk space is now available for self-employed professionals. Graphic artists, web designers, photographers, video producers, and music managers are encouraged to be part of this creative community and receive a multitude of business referrals.

We welcome you to stop by for a tour of Forge and see first hand all the enhancements we've made.

Please contact us today at 215-885-7000 or email Stephanie@forgerecording.com for more information.
