Shine Studios - Austin, Texas

Shine Studios was built from the ground up to be
the perfect environment to create music in. Our intimate
three room acoustically tuned facility has been designed
to accomodate any session, from local bands to film scoring.

The studio is ideal for full band recording with as much or little
isolation as needed and windows between each room.
Our drum room features a stained concrete floor and sand
filled drum riser with a wood ceiling sloping to 20' in height.
We also have an extremely wide collection of vintage and
classic instruments, effects and amplifiers for our clients' use.

The studio is owned and operated by Justin Douglas, an
award winning engineer and graduate of Berklee College of Music.
