A common question I get is, "What is a 'project studio'?" A project studio is not a full service studio. Unlike larger (and more expensive) studios, SC maintains only the equipment required to accomplish specific types of projects. For example, the SC has room to record multiple voices simultaneously, but not to simultaneously record an entire rock band. Often related services are done in partnership with other studios.

Bob Greaves and his wife, Lisa enjoying a pleasant afternoon in the Thousand Island area on Lake Ontario. "I started playing the guitar at the age of six. By the age of 16 I began experimenting with an open real stereo tape recorder, bouncing tracks back and forth to create multiple layers. Music and the related technology have always come easy for me, perhaps because I find it to be so much fun."

Bob has a varied educational background including degrees in Computer Science, Education and in Human Development. As a strong advocate of continuing education the SC was often visited by college students as part of their media arts course work. Eventually Bob was sought out by two area colleges to teach courses on music software.

A brief history of Sound Chisel:

Bob received his first guitar at the age of six on Christmas day 1957. Within two days he was playing several Christmas songs by ear. Since that day the guitar has been a common fixture around his neck.
