"The Studio" opened as an 8-track facility and quickly migrated to a 16-track facility when Dan acquired access to one of the original hand-built Stephens 16-track capstanless tape machines. The Studio quickly earned a reputation as the place to go for music production in Las Vegas.

The Studio became a popular gathering spot for Vegas musicians and out-of-town players, and hosted many nightly jam sessions and late night barbecues.

The Studio remained in operation into 1982. While negotiating plans to expand the facility, unfortunate circumstances arose from irreconcilable differences between the studio and the investor, resulting in Bob, Dan, and Jim being removed from the project. Soon after, the studio was closed.
