the studio

The Proper Way operates an intimate 16-channel recording studio in the Old Post Office in the heart of downtown Ogden.

Although we built it to record ourselves, we sometimes record other people. If you're interested in recording here, don't hesitate to contact us.

What We Do

We are three singers and multi-instrumentalists. We play a lot of instruments. If the project needs something we can't or don't do, odds are we know someone who does.

If you think we're a good fit for your project, don't hesitate to contact us.
