A retro-modern studio in the heart of Missoula, built around serious gear and an easy, creative atmosphere — run by engineers Mat Bainton and John Brownell.
Sound Rich Studio is a full-service recording studio in Missoula, Montana, run by engineers Mat Bainton and John Brownell. The rooms have retro-modern vibes, but the workflow is modern through and through — a Pro Tools studio with a serious mic locker and the outboard to match.
We’ve recorded everyone from first-time local artists to internationally known acts, across pop, punk, folk, rock, and everything in between. Whatever you’re making, the goal is the same: capture your sound, and make it sound rich.
A groovy control room, a versatile tracking room with space for a full band, and an intimate wood-lined live room that makes you feel right at home.
A dialed-in Pro Tools rig, analog outboard, and a room that sounds as good as it feels.
Room for a full band — drums, amps, and treated acoustics that flatter everything from vocals to walls of guitar.
An intimate, wood-lined room with a sound all its own — perfect for vocals, keys, and stripped-back takes.
Engineered sessions in rooms built to bring your songs to life — solo artists to full bands.
Analog warmth, modern precision — mixes and masters that hold up anywhere they’re played.
Work with an experienced producer on arrangements, sounds, and the shape of your record.
