Andrew Light Music: Studio

My studio was built basically for producing and recording my own music, but I regularly take on projects for others as well. It's basically a full midi studio with the ability to also record most acoustic sources except live drums. When I'm doing a project with live drums they are recorded at another studio, and then 'flown' into my system on a data disk.
