Jackpot! Recording Studio, in Portland, Oregon, has hosted sessions for artists such as The Go-Betweens, Elliott Smith, Quasi, Stephen Malkmus, Sleater-Kinney, The Decemberists and The Shins over its ten-year history. Owner Larry Crane (also founder and editor of Tape Op Magazine) has helmed many of these sessions and has utilized his knowledge of recording to create a unique and full-featured studio that is available for an affordable price.

Jackpot! has a fantastic assortment of gear including 24 and 16 track 2" tape decks, an MCI 1/4" 2 track mixdown deck, Pro Tools HD2 Accel with 32 ins and 40 outs, a vintage EMT plate reverb, upright grand piano, 33 channels of boutique mic preamps, 27 channels of outboard equalization, 23 channels of compression, plus a large assortment of microphones to choose from.

As of May 2007 Jackpot! has moved to a brand new building. It has been designed from the ground up for optimum sound isolation and as an amazing sounding acoustic space! The live room is over 600 square feet, with 12-foot ceilings, and oak floors. There are three isolation booths and nearly 100 tie lines located throughout the studio to a new TT patchbay through all new oxygen-free copper cabling. The new building is in a convenient location at SE 50th and Division, near Trade Up Music, Stumptown Coffee, Petite Provence’s French bakery, a new brew pub, and numerous restaurants.

For ten years Jackpot! has worked with many talented, well-known artists and provided the local music community with a comfortable and affordable place to make records.
