In July 1994, the members of All relocated from Brookfield, Missouri to Fort Collins.[3] Using money from their recent recording contract with Interscope Records, they designed and began construction of The Blasting Room with the help of guitarist Stephen Egerton's father, Dan O' Reilly.[3] The studio opened four months later, featuring a two-inch analog 24-track tape machine, a mixing console manufactured by Solid State Logic, and a variety of outboard gear.[3] The 4,000 square foot facility includes three recording studios: Studio A, the largest, features three isolation booths; The smaller Studio B has a separate control room; Studio C is a mixing and editing suite.[4] In early 2018 The Blasting Room finished renovations that included the addition of a Mastering Suite designed by acoustician John H. Brandt.[3] The Blasting Room also features a lounge, kitchen, and two bedrooms available to visiting artists.[4] In addition to production, engineering, and mixing, the studio also offers audio mastering services done by Livermore.[4]
