fabrik west
bring the song. we'll figure out the rest.
recording, production and mixing. from first demo to final master.
real instruments. real decisions. records that sound like someone made them.
fabrik west is a recording and production studio in blanchard, oklahoma, built for artists who care how their records feel. we track full bands, cut vocals, build arrangements, produce songs and mix records — pairing analog front-end with modern digital tools without getting precious about either.
come in with a full album to track or a song that still needs figuring out. we've got the room, and experience to get it there.

Trevor Thornton
plenty of years behind a desk. still excited when it tracks.
fifteen-plus years writing, tracking and producing across the country, for indie and major-label artists, hit studios, producers and engineers — but the work that stuck was always the small kind. one band, one room, one record at a time.
fabrik west is the room i wanted to walk into when i was twenty-two and didn't know what a 1176 was. you bring the songs, we figure the rest out together.
"the best records happen when everybody's focused on the music, not the clock. that's the kind of room we run."

built for long days and good decisions.
one room. all the gear you need to make a record. instruments within reach, a porch to reset, and a couch that's heard plenty of arguments about guitar tones.
the full nerdy list
not a sales pitch, just what's actually on the wall. mics, preamps, instruments, plugins — if it's here, you can use it. you can also bring your own gear.

timeline
deposit holds your dates // zero setup fees
no surprises.
the stuff people ask before they book. if your question isn't here, ask it on the form — we read every one.
which rate is right for me?
hourly if you're cutting vocals or overdubs and bringing your own production. a day if you're tracking a band or chasing one song start to finish and don't need production. premium if you want the whole thing handled — players, arrangement, mix and master — and you want to walk out with a finished record. not sure? send us the song. we'll tell you straight.
what does premium actually cover?
one song, fully produced. we write and arrange with you, bring in the players — drums, bass, guitars, keys, backing and lead vocals — then edit, tune, mix and master. figure two weeks of tracking, two more for the final mix, and one for mastering once you sign off. want cover art and a spotify canvas? add visuals starting at $300.
can i bring my own players or producer?
of course. hourly and day sessions are yours to staff — bring the band, bring your producer, our engineer runs the room. if you'd rather we put the players together, that's what premium is for.
when do i get my files?
hourly and day sessions: session files within 48 hours, and day bookings get rough mixes within a week. premium: rough mix within a week of wrap, final mix within two. whatever the rate, the files are yours. we just made them sound right.
how do i hold a date?
half up front locks it in, and there's no setup fee. fill out the form below with what you're making and when — we'll come back with open dates and next steps.
what's the place like?
built for long days. a tracking room and control room, a lounge, full kitchen, shower, fiber internet, parking out front and a big porch for when your ears need a break. staying over? norman is just up the road — a college town with plenty of options. we'll send our list once you're booked.
tell us about the music.
the more specific the better. demo links welcome — paste them in the about box. we reply inside 72 hours, usually faster.
