Our Focus

Is Your Project.

The Beginning.

We opened our doors 15 years ago in Seattle. After 6 great years, we relocated to Boise, ID. It was a colossal move. Being in Boise meant better rates for our customers, a bigger facility, and an amazing downtown location worth traveling to for our clients.

The Location.

There's a reason Boise keeps topping all those "Best Cities" articles. Idaho's capital city is hip, lively and beautiful. Our downtown location on 8th & Bannock is in the epicenter of the best art, drinks and culture the city has to offer. And Luxetone Studios happens to be the only recording studio located downtown.

The Accommodations.

Staying awhile? We've partnered with several AirBnB hosts for great rates on studio and apartment rentals in the very building Luxetone Studios is located within: The Idaho Building. We've hosted clients from NYC, Los Angeles, Australia and beyond.

The Gear.

Lucky for you we're obsessed with gear. Our recordings have been featured on major label records, Hollywood films and radio. Our studio uses top quality digital tracking, combined with an eclectic collection of analog outboard units and choice vintage instruments.

The Staff.

Luxetone Studios has three staff engineers: Brandon Wallace, Ross DeMastus and Ryan O'Flaherty. A unique blend of background experience allows us to take on most any music style. And if you need help with songwriting or production, we're musicians ourselves!

OWNER PROFILE: BRANDON WALLACE

My name is Brandon Wallace and I'll start with a confession: I've written my own bio (everyone's doing it).

Recording music began at 16 years old for me, spending all my nights locked away in my SF Bay Area bedroom creating songs on a 4 track cassette recorder (of course) using a couple cheap guitars and banging on drawers of my desk for drum sounds. While I ended up eventually making a career of recording, my studio days would need to wait.

My focus turned to live gigs as I began playing out with bands I formed, and filled in with friends' bands. The "filling in" part became a full time gig, as I embarked on my first tour at age 19 and first international tour later that year. Touring continued for me throughout my twenties, as I found myself on the road supporting bands like Third Eye Blind and in festival lineups alongside Neil Young, Pearl Jam, Sheryl Crow and Tom Petty.

A decade of gigging took its toll and I found myself just trying to get back to where I began: the studio. But this time around, I traded a teenage bedroom studio for a commercial facility where I had space to actually fit things like drum sets.

According to Malcom Gladwell in his book Outliers: The Story of Success, we only master a skill after 10,000 hours of focused practice. In 2003, as I moved from San Francisco to open a studio in Seattle, the 10,000 hour mark was quite a ways off.

I'm happy to say that the 10,000 hour mark came to me about 10 years ago, and I'm working on my second lap. I've been fortunate to have opportunities to work on projects with unsigned indie artists to acts on labels like RCA and Capital Records.

I'm often asked what genres of music I specialize in. I haven't settled on a specialty per se, but I sure love working on indie rock, americana, folk, and even metal.

If I had to tell you what my specialty truly is though, it's a dedication to your music. When I take on a project, I can guarantee you that I'm fully on board. And I think the artists I've worked with in the past would agree.
