Cloudland Recording Studio is an analog and digital recording studio located in the heart of Fort Worth, Texas. We are just one mile from downtown and five minutes from the Near Southside entertainment district of Magnolia Avenue.
About Cloudland
Founded in 2015 by Dreamy Life Records, Cloudland has been a staple of the Fort Worth/Dallas/Denton music community. Engineer Joe Tacke joined the studio team in 2018 and purchased the studio in 2020. In 2023 Joe began an extensive remodel of the studio, redesigning the control room and making modern improvements to the already amazing sounding studio.
Cloudland features a 750sf tracking room, large enough to accommodate a six-person band playing together live. There are also two additional isolation rooms to separate instruments or vocals when required.
The centerpiece of the studio is its 1972 Auditronics 501 mixing console. The 501 boasts highly musical inductor EQ's, plus transformers in and out for that rich analog sound. It has been meticulously restored and upgraded for modern recording needs.
