Mirror Sound Mirror Sound Studio, located in Shoreline Washington, is a recording studio with a 29 year history of producing professional recordings for local area bands and artists as well as doing voiceover and media work and offering recording arts educational programs. It describes itself as being a ‘studio of musicians, for musicians’, thereby anticipating and responding to performers’ and songwriters unique needs. 1979 - 1993

Mirror Sound's roots go back to the early days as a 4-track operation at The Russell School of Music in Cherry Hill, NJ, (just outside Philadelphia, PA,) in 1979. The original 4-track Mirror Sound soon became 8 tracks, then 16 and now has grown to become a state-of-the art fully equipped 24-track analogue/digital studio. Its founder, Ken Fordyce, had garnered valuable work experience from his contributions at Sigma Sound Studios, Queen Village Studios (Philadelphia., Pa) and NFL Films (Mt Laurel, NJ). His extensive experience extends back to Berklee College of Music, Boston MA. where he majored in guitar while enrolled in the Instrumental Performance Program.

Fordyce, an analog veteran, has engineered and produced numerous recording projects in all genres, including rock, pop, heavy metal, classical, acoustic folk and hip-hop, as well as doing voice-over and media projects. Working with musicians and artists across diverse disciplines and styles deeply influences his work and recording mindset.

1993 - Present In 1993, Ken relocated to the Seattle area to absorb the West Coast culture and soon began working with MacDonald Recording under the tutelage of Terry MacDonald while engineering sessions on the AMS Audiofile. In 1997, Mirror Sound Studio announced the opening of its fifth studio in its 29 year history. Over two years in the design and construction (1997-1999), the 5-room facility began operations in 1998. Quality acoustics design was provided by Adam Kessler (Eden Engineering) with consultation from George Hallowell and Bob Hodas. Silent HVAC implementation and room to room isolation are some of features that make the Mirror Sound experience comfortable and enjoyable for the artists as well as for the staff.

The studio offers 4 recording rooms and a large Control room, complete 24 track music production facilities, full computer recording and editing capabilities, analog tape capabilities, midi sequencing and editing as well as CD mastering.

Since 1998, the studio has also offered recording courses and training at different levels, including its own professionally developed Practical Audio Recording Course, internship program in association with The Recording Connection (Los Angeles, Ca), and a introductory program through the University of Washington Experimental College.
