Looking for a studio in Portland, May 30/31

I'm looking for a studio that would let me bring a project in as a freelance engineer. The band is a jazz quartet (possibly quintet), no piano, just horns, acoustic bass and drums. An Iso booth for the bass would be great, working in Logic would be a bonus for me because that's my DAW of choice, and a U-87 or equivalent would be extra-awesome.

Portland, OR? Well, you MUST check out Jackpot! (It's actually got an exclamation point at the end of the name.) It's owned by Tape Op's very own Larry Crane and is a great-loooking studio. And everything that I've heard coming out of there sounds fantastic. Several of my friends have done projects there as freelancers and they've all had wonderful things to say about that place. If I had reason to do a project in Portland, I'd not think twice about booking Jackpot!

Yeah, Jackpot is already on my short list, just looking for options.

Jackpot! is rad for sure.

Another option is The Map Room. It's more affordable, and has a nice big live room with an iso booth, though it is a combined control room and live room. If you're comfortable working that way, it's excellent for live tracking.

Also check out Secret Society. Plenty of iso options, they have a U87, and the BBQ across the street is top notch!

And the folks that run each of those places are amazingly helpful. You can't go wrong in this town!

I was pleased with the results www.typefoundrystudio.com gave me for a small job.
