Looks like Paisley Park Studios has a new website: http://www.paisleyparkstudios.net/

Paisley Park Studios was opened in 1987 by PRINCE, the legendary musician and entertainer. Paisley Park fame has grown around the world throughout the 80’s and 90’s and continues today.

Since its inception, many of the world’s top artists have used Paisley Park Studios to create chart-topping music, full-length feature films, commercials and music videos.

The Love4OneAnother room is now the Prestage Area.

Ah, those were the days.

very nice
thanks for the headsup

Omg thanks for the pictures & info I love the new site i didint know they updated it.Thank you so very much.I love the music on it as well.

!!!LOOK AT ALL THOSE MACS!!!

I knew they were smart!
So the club and paisley park are definitely two separate entities!

You have to be very smart to know what every button does on that deck lol.Like a kid in a kandy store.

Is there any info on how well it does as far as bookings and use? Do local groups from the Minneapolis area use it? With all of the new equipment they put into it, it's be a shame if no one goes there.

Man, everytime I see Paisley Park, I immediately think of the Lovesexy album, for some reason. It might be the positive vibe that the building gives off. I must visit the facilities one day...

One day...

u n me both man....
im stuck all the way in canada...ill never see paisley park

SammiJ said:

Heh. At least you're closer in proximity to Minnesota. I'm stuck all the way down here in the international hickstate of Alabama.

This was a cool find for me because I'm currently working on my own studio website and I needed some inspiration.

I've googled a ton of studio websites that look like total crap. This is clean and to the point. AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED TO SEE. More business oriented.

PS, Mine will be better! (website, not studio)
LOOK OUT!

I've just formed a co-op with my local chamber of commerce and they are hooking me up with all kinds of buisness so I need to work fast!

it sucks for both of us lol

"features the world's only floating console"

Is that a joke or is there really such a thing? The console seem held from the back but does appear to be floating.

Aerogram said:

i was wondering about that too -- i'm sure many other studios must have something like that -- it looks to be very convenient

Aerogram said:

I saw that too.

I think they should put a disclaimer like: (as far as we know)

I have a similar "arm" that I rigged that holds the master keyboard in the studio. I, personally, have never seen a mixing console held that way.

DAYYYM! Look at all dem buttuns I wanna press!



Prince, Prince, pleeze lemme record just one wekid!

uhh...so besides princes', what other hits have been recorded at paisley?

UndercovaBrotha said:

Y'all think you got it bad? I'm in Australia.

sosgemini said:

"hits"? -- good question (and i don't mean the group). i entered "recorded at paisley park" into a search engine and found a whole bunch of people who recorded there.

sosgemini said:

Recording, mixing and production sessions:

Summer 1989 The Raw and the Cooked, Fine Young Cannibals

November 1990 - Out Of Time, REM
.

wow that is so cool, that would be neat
if we could go see it.

"Grumpy Old Men" (movie)
was done there too, right?

BTW Yamomma, can you arrange for someone to get the General Prince FAQ amended - I referred to the new PP site about a month ago and mentioned that the prince.org FAQ is now out of date re the official studio website address, but I didn't suggest it should be amended at the time.

yamomma said:

Yep:

This is an old site address:

http://www2.bitstream.net...index.html

See

http://www2.bitstream.net...tage2.html

"Paisley Park Soundstage clients include feature films "Grumpy Old Men", "Grafitti Bridge, "Drop Dead Fred", TV commercials for Burger King, McDonald's, Comet Cleanser, Volkswagon, Porsche, Cadillac, Lincoln Mercury and tour production rehearsals for the Beastie Boys, Hammer, Freddie Jackson, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Neil Young, Kool & The Gang, The Muppets, the Bee Gees, Barry Manilow, and Jeff Beck."

yamomma said:

You must not have ever seen this little movie, Prince did awhile back. It was called Graffiti Bridge.

He's using a MAC at the end, during the credits.

Actually, revisiting this site... this is nothing new. This has been their site for awhile now.

Macs have always been known as being the best computer for any kind of music production or composition. And by the way, don't you need a Mac to use Pro Tools?

Snap said:

yep. last time i was out at the park (back last june durin the whole musicology shebang), during the studio tour they mentioned about it and showed us one of the screens with the stuff on it.

LovesexyIsThe1 said:

that mac always cracks me up, cuz i remember when those particular macs came out and they were like the "it" computer.

UndercovaBrotha said:

Well just moved to MO. I think it's time for the org to plan a road trip! (Hmmm... you think Prince would take us on a tour.)

LovesexyIsThe1 said:

Yes, I recall the Apple in that movie. What I was pointing out, was on the spec lists there were several G5 MACs with the new displays. So I was impressed that they are keeping up to date. Those newer MACs didn't come out too long ago.

Hopefully, I'll get my new G5 by the end of the month. And if I play it right, I might get the new 30 inch display! You need all the space you can get when working in programs like Final Cut Pro. Might take my current G4 home and give my powerbook (maybe) to my wife. The old G3 can be given to charity, I suppose. What will also be cool is that I'll be getting 2 of those iSight cameras. I saw them in the apple store and they work GREAT! So it will nice to peek in on my family during those long work days. My 2 year old son should LOVE that.

This was the first time I've seen this site. There used to be a splash page a long time ago back in the Love4oneanother days. Just had an address and a phone number if I recall.
