Kind words from friends & supporters
The recording studio is simply the medium. You are the message.
“Young Avenue Sound is an incredible creative space for me. I have always been able to find magic there. Whether it is a hit song, a great drum sound, or a pot of Skip’s famous Soul Stew, the Mann family has always made me feel right at home.
— Cody Dickinson of North Mississippi Allstars
Young Avenue Sound is by far one of the best studios in Memphis, TN. I recommend anyone to check out the space if you haven’t had the experience to work in this environment!
— Isaac Daniel, Engineer/Producer Memphis Slim House and Stax/Soulsville Music Academy
It has been said that the finest sparks of creativity are born in the finest moments of solitude. I have found time and time again, Young Avenue Sound to be a true Fortress of Solitude. It is a place steeped in the old school studio traditions and etiquette that were first-hand taught and passed down by studio legends Don Mann and Skip McQuinn, traditions and etiquette that are steadfastly maintained to this day by Cameron Mann and Elliot Ives. Be it recording w/ my band Lucero or producing others I always find great solace in the Fortress of Solitude that is Young Avenue Sound.
— John C Stubblefield of Lucero

History
Originally owned by Don Mann, and his son Cameron Mann, the facility was transformed from a gym into the Cooper Young recording studio you see today. Alan Stewart of Windsor, UK (who built personal studios for Pink Floyd, Electric Lady) was hired by Don. John Meredith and Roger Collis are two other individuals who have worked on the original reconstruction, and the current remodel. The studio has been active since 2001 and is running full steam ahead, but looking at a bigger future. Now in 2022 with new owners Elliott Ives, Taylor Berger, & Scott Bartlett, it is in the midst of evolving into something more, adapting to its surroundings in historic Memphis, TN and keeping pace with a rapidly changing industry for creatives.
