Imirage Sound Lab in Sparks (formerly Axe Trax) celebrated its 30th anniversary last year, making it Nevada’s longest-running Commercial Recording Studio. The studio has been owned the entire time by Dr. Lawrence Davis, who is also one of the nation’s leading Chiropractors. In honor of the anniversary, Imirage acquired a new recording console, a classic Euphonix CS-2000, 72 Input digitally controlled analog console, steeped in history.

Wham! Just like that: another day, another episode! Although it’s another week of canned music – this is the good stuff. Iconic Reno-based sound engineer Tom Gordon stops by to share with us more stories from behind the scenes in the glamorous life of an audio recording professional.

Tom and Dr. D are celebrating 40 years of recording at the (now) iMirage Sound Lab. It just so happens that Tom brought some of his favorite tracks from over the years, along with their backstories. Much of the work is out of love, for the music, but also for others, including Battle Scar, a production benefitting the American Indian Graduate Center and Washoe County School District Music Education and also the greatest Rush song you’ve never heard of – tune in to catch the rest of the story!
