A retro-modern studio in the heart of Missoula, run by engineers Mat Bainton and John Brownell. An easy place to write, record, and mix, with room to find your sound.
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 and a modern workflow to match. Pro Tools at the center, mics and outboard we reach for every day. Whether you’re cutting your first demo or your tenth record, the vibe stays the same: unhurried, collaborative, and focused on the song.
We’ve recorded everyone from first-time local artists to internationally known acts, across pop, hip-hop, 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 live room with space for a full band, and The Sauna, an intimate wood-lined room with an upright piano.
Pro Tools, some analog outboard, and a room that feels good to work in.
Room for a full band, with drums, amps, and treated acoustics that flatter everything from vocals to walls of guitar.
An intimate, wood-lined room with an upright piano and a sound all its own. Great for vocals, piano, and stripped-back takes.
Engineered sessions in rooms built to bring your songs to life, from solo artists to full bands.
Work with an experienced producer on arrangements, sounds, and the shape of your record.
Analog warmth and modern precision. Mixes and masters that hold up anywhere they’re played.
That’s us — Mat and John. We run Sound Rich because there’s not much we’d rather do than help you make something you’re proud of. Bring your songs, your band, and your ideas; we’ll take it from there.
— Mat & John
