A Post from Jon Lupfer

All of us at Q Division are so grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received since Mike’s passing. It’s a reminder of the  amazing community we are part of, and that he helped build. When Mike and I first started Q, neither of us imagined running it without the other. But in the intervening 32 years, Q Division has become far larger than any one of us, and Mike more than anyone wanted Q Division to continue his work of developing talent and making great music.   We thank you for your support and welcome your continuing business.

It’s always fun to have someone famous in the studio, but occasionally they are famous for something else. (like… basketball)

Susan Cattaneo Live

We love doing these kinds of sessions, where bands perform in front of a live audience, and we multi-track the show. Often these shows are combined with a video shoot. Not to brag, but we think Studio A looks and sounds really great for these types of shows!

For lovers of true crime and music, Jake Brennan’s DISGRACELAND Podcast explores the alleged true crime antics and criminal connections of musicians we love like Jerry Lee Lewis, Beck, The Rolling Stones, Tay K-47, Tupac Shakur, Mayhem, Van Morrison and many more.  Recorded, mixed and mastered by Q Division’s Sean Cahalin in our new Studio B – including our super quiet podcast friendly rooms!

Studio Renovations!

We’re renovating ! 

As Q Division starts its 30th year, we are getting ready for our first major overhaul in the 16 years we’ve been in Davis Square. 

While we’re bidding a fond farewell to our Studio B and our current offices as part of our new landlord’s reconfiguration of the building, we’re also looking forward to renovating and expanding our existing Studio D to replace and improve on it.  

The new studio will feature an upgraded Pro Tools HDX system, enhanced mixing and mastering capabilities and a brand new control room designed by Lou Clark, of Sonic-Space.  We are also planning some major equipment improvements and increased booking flexibility in the new studio to meet the needs of different projects.

Studio A, our Neve 8068 room, will remain open throughout the renovations, and we will continue booking sessions in Studio D as long as possible.

Right now things are a bit chaotic with the move and the construction but we are still open for business – and we’ll have an announcement soon about the configuration and design of the new studio. As part of the move we’re clearing out the tape vault. If you recorded here in the past, and think you might have left tape, now’s the time to claim it.

Check our website and facebook page for updates, and stay tuned!
