Crackle & Pop! is a full fledged digital and analog recording facility located in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Founded in 2006 by Johnny Sangster and Andrew Smith with a focus on quality instruments and recording equipment, the studio has grown organically to become a destination for independent local, national and international artists. Pairing an original Spectra Sonics console and an API The Box console with Radar Converters, our signal path is blend of the best in analog and digital. We can also provide fully analog recording with 2” 16/24 multitrack tape and 1/4” mixdown decks. We have been fortunate to host the likes of Mudhoney, Neko Case, Mark Lanegan, Dean Johnson, Mavis Staples, Bryan Ferry, Young Fresh Fellows, Jesse Sykes, Presidents of the United States of America, Maggie Bjorklund & countless others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c3688021aef1dd80621b619/dd5b8034-f9f6-43c8-9600-3da818054bf4/IMG20250324224144.jpg Home Our Spectra Sonics Console was custom built for Stax Records in 1969 and has since been at Ironwood and Egg Studios in Seattle WA. It is currently undergoing a complete refurbishment with the expert help of Timothy Herzog. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c3688021aef1dd80621b619/1777303880737-PJDYE65LY6FEKSMT3VO5/Buildout+plan+April+18.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c3688021aef1dd80621b619/1548734016958-42V6NI1J655ZHXQI46DZ/7b30cb97e6851d1806828265ca2018df_original.jpg Home Our live room with adjustable “wing traps”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c3688021aef1dd80621b619/1548807161824-4JUV6KBS4QFSE6H934I8/IMG_20190115_121453.jpg Home Our Control Room - pictured here is our 1984 Harrison Raven Console. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c3688021aef1dd80621b619/1548807271306-L5CQQG657Z4D2CEK83PL/IMG_7136.JPG Home Our Booth which comfortably fits several players or a drum kit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c3688021aef1dd80621b619/1549143553019-JIIPVHVR4EFGPVEHH4NV/IMG_3318.jpg Home We are extremely blessed to have an original Tim Kerr mural in the studio. Tim has been a friend and inspiration to us for many, many years and he kindly agreed to make a donor painting for our Kickstarter campaign. We didn’t realize how far above and beyond he would go.

Singer/guitarist Mark Arm vents his spleen in many directions, but the religious right gets most of his anger on “21st Century Pharisees,” “Prosperity Gospel,” and “Messiah’s Lament.” - Spin Magazine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c3688021aef1dd80621b619/1549062273243-Z3OXCQW13KM2CA1PLWX9/MaggieComingHome.jpg Home - Maggie Björklund "Summer Romance" is a highlight of this very strong album, sounding like a long lost pop hit from the '60s that could have been recorded by Nancy Sinatra or Dusty Springfield. This is one of my favorite new records of the past year and I highly reccomend it. It was produced and mixed by Johnny Sangster and Mastered at RFI/CD by Ed Brooks. - Tape Op Magazine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c3688021aef1dd80621b619/1549063009713-CH8AHV021LERX0WK21Y4/RustyCobirds.jpg Home - Rusty Willoughby Cobirds Unite is a beautifully lush record with Willoughby’s acoustic rounded out by slide guitar, organs, violin, banjo and most importantly Flotard’s voice which nearly trades line for line and is a great match. Cobirds Unite is a solid release from front to back which hopefully will gain Rusty Willoughby the recognition he deserves. - Riviler.org https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c3688021aef1dd80621b619/1548806884909-QLXHQHVYBNTKN5QRO56Y/IMG_20190107_163731.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c3688021aef1dd80621b619/1548806930393-0Z1LTAZBOQS3M1VS7RSK/IMG_20181231_143738.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c3688021aef1dd80621b619/1548804863649-LN7BJTF7ITLG36GJPP7G/IMG_20181113_160130.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c3688021aef1dd80621b619/1548960229567-1A6WRORKCW3D6ZAZRYU4/IMG_7147.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c3688021aef1dd80621b619/1548960678038-MT1AM10QJVG797SIRJYZ/_DSC6241-7.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c3688021aef1dd80621b619/1548962204700-CNDDJ2KWW5PWWJ8ZH5RO/_DSC6250-13.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c3688021aef1dd80621b619/1549147423158-X4VRY1027W9V2QPD2MCF/IMG_4064.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c3688021aef1dd80621b619/1549147194844-6IXS45WBDIV7RK8WKSR2/IMG_20180930_183230.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c3688021aef1dd80621b619/1549147137850-MULO9J4889AXR2MKQ576/IMG_0002.JPG Home https://www.cracklepopstudio.com/pics-and-video daily 0.75 2019-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c3688021aef1dd80621b619/1548432424272-TKIOSNEQPGNLXFZ3ZYEZ/image-asset.jpeg Pics and Video - Rusty Willoughby - Too Early/Crown of Thorns - Live @ Crackle & Pop!
