About Imirage SoundLab
Imirage SoundLab is the longest running commercial studio in the state of Nevada. It opened September 29th, 1982, under the name “Axe Trax.” In 1998, Tom Gordon teamed up with owner Dr. Lawrence Davis to give the studio a facelift and a new name. For nearly a year designer Bill Furman transformed Axe Trax into Imirage. January 2000 the studio reopened with its new name, gear, and look. Since then, it has put out several hundred physical and digital albums and singles, offered recording arts classes, done some remote & charity recordings, audio restoration from vintage formats, plus audio post production for several short and feature length films.
It’s a mid-sized room originally tailored for local artists to track their material. Now it’s fully equipped for national quality tracking, mixing, and mastering. Acoustically the control room was painstakingly built to create an optimum listening environment. The live area consists of one semi-live large room, one completely live iso room and one nearly completely dead iso room. The three-room treatments give us many tracking options for a facility of our size. See floor plan HERE.
Our centerpiece console, a Euphonix CS2000, was formerly a film score desk that was used on over a 100 film scores including “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”, “The Wolf of Wall Street”, “The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” as well as albums for Alanis Morrisette, Seal & Robbie Robertson. We have a fun selection of house instruments and outboard gear, plus the biggest mic collection in the region. That’s why call it a Sound Lab. A place to experiment on your music. See the equipment list HERE.
The place is just dripping with “vibe”! Autographs related to famous music & film, a venerable museum of historic audio pieces, and just fun toys, games and knick knacks for the heck of it! Come see for yourself. Book a tour with one of our Engineers and we’ll show you what we mean!
