The word must be getting out fast since Clear Track Studios’ opening in February 2010. Over two years later, we’re quickly becoming known as the go-to studio when searching for the best quality in Tampa Bay–with competent, friendly staff who know how to get what you need. Whether recording a short vocal session or a full-length, radio-ready album, you can get a sound listeners will crave and your favorite studio experience yet.

We work with any project scenario, from Major Acts to up-and-coming independent artists, with care, efficiency and an attention to quality that any listener will appreciate. We provide anything from the studio facility itself to the right producers, engineers, and session musicians who will help you get the sound for your unique project.

Clear Track’s Music Production Team involves a wide variety of noted producers and professional engineers, musicians and songwriters of varying generations and genres, including Grammy-award winning talents. Rock, Pop, Blues, Country, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Electronic, Rap, Latin, Classical–it’s all covered within Clear Track’s studios.

The professionals here and the studio itself are truly “all about the music.” There’s no big corporate mentality, just decades of experience driven by a passion for making great sounding music—all culminating in 2010 with the opening of Clear Track’s Studio A. Every aspect of the studio was decided upon and brought into place by progressive rock and blues multi-instrumentalist and engineer, Mike Johnson. In his mid-twenties, after 8 years of studio design research, the Connecticut native met with world-renown studio designer Wes Lachot during the summer of 2008. It was then he knew he had to roll up his sleeves and “do it right,” working with Wes to design not only a full-blown, pro studio, but the best sounding room in Florida. Wes, who had just finished designing Manifold Recording (nominated for a TEC Award!), approved of the perfect building and drew up the plans with Mike.

After nearly two years of blood, sweat and tears and massive attention to detail, Mike and the Clear Track team opened Studio A’s doors in February 2010. Beautifully crafted for sonic excellence and inspiration, musicians and pro engineers alike are continually amazed at the studio’s awesome sound creating, capturing and listening environment.

Mike and his team are passionate about making great music and getting you excellent-quality recordings. We want to see a thriving music establishment on Florida’s West Coast by helping up-and-coming and already-established artists alike have a great time making music for their listeners—at a level of quality that can truly expand their music career. If you’d like to speak with Mike or have any questions for us, don’t hesitate to say hi!
