ABOUT WORLD FAMOUS STUDIOS

In 2001, owner Pete deBoer established a small private studio in Brooklyn, NY as a place to edit, overdub, and mix when his clients budgets were tight.

WorldFamousStudios.com was purchased as a place to highlight Pete's freelance engineering experiences working for artists and labels in "World Famous Studios" around the country. The studio in Brooklyn received a few credits as World Famous and the name stuck.

Pete relocated World Famous Studios to Colorado in 2009. His studio design experience and passion for hi-end recording equipment provide the Denver recording community an affordable place to record with an array of both vintage and modern equipment within a comfortable and creative setting.

World Famous Studios is conveniently located just 15 minutes from downtown Denver. It's an easy commute from Boulder and most places on the front range.
