Jon Martin founded Wave Records as an analog recording studio in 1988. Jon originally created the studio to record his band, Dad and the Boys, and eventually began recording music of other local artists. The studio was located on the west side of Detroit for 18 years. Six years ago, we relocated to Armada, Michigan and renamed the studio Coon Creek Records. The goal of Coon Creek Records Recording Studio is to keep analog sound alive.
The studio records bands and solo artists, and performs audio restoration of vintage recordings. The studio features both analog and digital mix-down formats. Equipment used includes a custom E16 Fostex Transport recorder modified with Ampex recording heads and the Mackie 36 channel 8 bus console. Playback monitors used include Altec Lansing speakers.
