As a solo artist and sound engineer, Toobe Fresco has worked in countless recording environments across the region. His experiences have shown him what makes a recording studio great as well as the constraints that get in the way of creativity. Toobe believes artists need an atmosphere that is conducive to their goals regardless of genre, experience, or income. It’s this realization that inspired him to pause his own career and launch Breakthrough Sounds.
Located in the city of Bedford, this newly opened space is intended to provide artists with affordable service that doesn’t sacrifice quality or professionalism. The price to record starts at just $35 per hour- an amount that is locked in whether you’re tracking vocals or a full 9 piece band. It’s a competitive rate for artists who typically pay twice that cost to fund their passion. Breakthrough offers full track mixes, mastering, and production. It also provides photo and video service through its partner TKBL Productions making it a one-stop shop for music artists.
Breakthrough Sounds is the result of a vision to create a versatile and welcoming workspace. The studio needed to be a place where a rapper could escape their basement and a gospel artist could record worship music without the smell of weed in the air. It’s a big and open space that allows artists to feel comfortable and get in the zone while creating. The location gives artists a chance to slow down, reset, and escape the distractions of fast-paced city life.
Kyle Ringer is one of the engineers currently working out of Breakthrough. Building a reputation in the gospel scene, he has worked and collaborated with a growing list of known and rising musicians. Kyle believes what sets the studio apart is a combo of down to earth people and professional-grade recording. As artists themselves, the team understands music and can cater to the full vision of their clients.
