Studio Alerts In A Time of National Mourning

When Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom passed away back in September, it reminded me of a fascinating quirk about the radio and TV broadcasting industry in the UK — one we first learned about while I was designing the indicator light system here at ULS.

On Site: Consulting for The Jungle Book

This week I was at St. Patrick’s Catholic School in Rockville, MD, providing on-site audio consulting and support for their upcoming production of The Jungle Book.

New In The Studio: Subway-Inspired Studio Artwork

One day during construction, when our site was little more than a large, concrete-lined hole in the ground, a resident of the local area happened to be walking by the site. She asked our project manager what was going on. The owners, he explained to her, were building a recording studio in the basement. The woman, who was either a total conspiracy theorist or had a great sense of humor, wasn’t buying it.

Is That A Mic? Or a Track Light? Yes.

Back in April, I was poking around an audio production group on Facebook. I came across an incredibly cool, handmade product that I instantly knew I wanted to add to our studio lobby.

New Studio Artwork: A Time Will Come For Singing

With the 2018 remake of the classic St. Petronille Contemporary Choir album now firmly in the rearview mirror, we’ve added some new artwork to the studio hallway to commemorate the project.
