Dream Tree specializes in serving the needs of passionate singer-songwriters, duos and small bands who want great sounding organic material but don’t need large, expensive studios to get amazing results.

We offer a very clean, professionally-designed space with high-end gear and professional engineers and producers who live and breathe acoustic music and recording.

The studio provides a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where both aspiring recording artists and experienced musicians who value playing real instruments can grow and improve their craft.

Services include both professional audio recording, mixing and song development as well as video recordings both in studio and on location for solo artists, bands, vocal groups and choirs.

Special package options are not hourly-based, rather project-based, lowering the stress level of performing on demand. We’ll capture the winning sound or perfect shot even if it requires a few takes.

Emphasis is on song development and pristine recordings in a sonically-treated, live room overlooking a forest in the West Hills of Portland, OR; studio includes an adjoining game room as well as a small kitchen to relax and eat. A perfect area to burn-off steam between takes while recording your next EP.
