WHO WE ARE
In 1990, Bruce launched a search for a more suitable studio space and custom built a state-of-the-art studio in Bentleyville, Ohio.
One element of the new studio was the acquisition of an exquisite 1897 Steinway C which was then refurbished. The Steinway draws many pianists to the studio with its beautiful sound.
Over the years, Bruce has had the privilege of recording The Cleveland Orchestra at Severance Hall, its summer home at Blossom Music Center, and in residency at Knight Concert Hall in Miami from 2006-2017. Audio Recording Studio specializes in acoustic recording and also has extensive experience in Spoken Word, Orchestral, Chamber, Choral, Jazz, Solo, and Ensemble music. Today we have local, national, and international clients. We record solos to ensembles to full chorus on location or in the studio.

The Audio Recording Team

Bruce Gigax - Owner and Chief Engineer
In 1977 — straight from Mt. Union University with a degree in music — Bruce began his career learning about mic hangs, orchestra work, mixing, and editing. When his mentor, Vlad Maleckar, retired in 1986, Bruce took over as audio supervisor for The Cleveland Orchestra broadcasting service, a position he maintained until 2018.
Over the years, Bruce has had the privilege of recording The Cleveland Orchestra at Severance Hall, its summer home at Blossom Music Center, and in residency at Knight Concert Hall in Miami from 2006-2017.

Reed Wheeler - Assistant Engineer
Reed Wheeler is a 1986 graduate from Indiana University's School of Music, majoring in Recording Arts and Sciences. He continually works in studio and on remotes. Reed has engineered recordings of all genres. Reed has provided voice-overs for various recording projects and plays guitar, bass, and sings.

Mascot
Often seen in the studio are Bruce's wife, Trina, and Bentley, the Audio “mascot." Bentley joined us as a rescue in September 2017. Born in 2013, Bentley ages with the studio. NOTE: Bentley will say hello if you like but not remain during studio time.
