The Blasting Room
Founder: Bill Stevenson & Jason Livermore
Chief Engineers: Bill Stevenson, Jason Livermore, Andrew Berlin, Chris Beeble
Active Era: 1994 – Present
Known worldwide for its custom-tuned drum room with vaulted ceilings and diffused wood paneling. The studio’s signature kick-drum punch and razor-sharp snare transient response became the platinum standard for punk rock, melodic hardcore, and metalcore.
Equipped with an SSL 4000 series console, Studer A827 24-track tape machines, and state-of-the-art digital converters. Stevenson and Livermore pioneered a hybrid workflow marrying the warmth of analog tracking with the surgical precision of modern digital editing.
