Blue Heaven Studios

Today we went to Blue Heaven Studios in Salina, KS. We were there close to an hour, but it was interesting to see a side of media that has an art form and a life all its own.

They still used LPs and had a cutting station for the records. We also saw different rooms and learned more about acoustics and got to see a ribbon microphone.

It was just neat to see an art that has almost died away at this point because we have evolved into using primarily MP3s and CDs instead of the old tape method.

This studio has been in Salina for 13 years now and I didn't even know about it. I just thought it was an old church and I've lived here all my life. Sad, I know.
