About Us

Nestled in the rolling hills of New England, On Deck Sound Studio allows artists to escape to a quiet, yet accessible space to focus solely on their music. Owner & operator Tracy Walton has been bringing music to life here for decades.
When you first walk in you’ll enter our furnished 12x16 control room, where we may map out your project, introduce you to our session musicians, or sit down for a cup of coffee. Through a door the control room opens up into a spacious 30x20 live room with 12 foot vaulted ceilings that is fitted with every instrument you’d ever need for your record. Out the sliding glass doors and built on the back deck is our brand new vocal/isolation booth, perfect for intimate vocals or amps!
At On Deck Sound Studio we strive for efficiency and efficacy to ensure that you get the most out of your time here. Our video and audio team allows for the synchronous creation of content during your stay, and it is important to us that you leave with more than just the song.
We are a Pro Tools based studio, running Mac OS and Universal Audio Systems all into a Neve 5060 Centerpiece console to give your recordings unmatched warmth and clarity. In our control room you’ll listen back on a pair of Genelec 8050’s that provide honest stereo imaging.
