Alpenglow Sound Studios is a professional recording studio in Bellingham, Washington, USA, operated by engineer/producer Bill Simpkins. The site indicates that he has been working in the field since 1993. Services include music recording, mixing, mastering, as well as voiceover and ADR recording for film and television. Past clients include musicians and media/content companies such as PBS, Disney, Lionsgate, ABC, CBS, Sony Pictures, and Audible.
Judging by the equipment list, this is very much a “real recording, real instruments, hardware signal chain” type of studio. It has four isolation rooms, Pro Tools HD/Ultimate, Antelope and Apogee converters, Focal/NS10/Avantone monitoring, and a large microphone collection from Neumann, RCA, Royer, Sennheiser, and others. Outboard gear includes API, Vintech, and Millennia preamps, 1176, LA-2A, Distressor, SSL bus compression, and more. On the instrument side, it offers a Yamaha grand piano, Hammond C-3 with Leslie, Rhodes, two drum kits, multiple guitars and basses, and various amplifiers. This makes it attractive for projects that need high-quality capture of drums, keyboards, guitar amps, and vocals.
The website does not publish hourly rates or package pricing. Its terms state that payment methods will be agreed upon before the project begins, and some services may require a deposit. Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance, otherwise a cancellation fee may apply. In terms of rights, clients retain ownership of their recorded material, while the studio retains engineering and production credit rights. It also explicitly commits to “authentic, human-made music” and does not accept projects involving AI-generated music, composition, or lyrics.
The main strengths are its deep equipment roster, coverage of both music production and film/TV ADR, ability to handle remote mixing/mastering/voiceover projects, and relatively clear service terms. The downsides are that pricing, delivery formats, revision rounds, and the online collaboration workflow are not disclosed. The studio is appointment-only with limited availability, and projects may also be declined. In-person studio work is mainly suitable for clients in Washington State and the broader Pacific Northwest.
It is best suited to bands, independent musicians, producers who need real drums/pianos/amps recorded, and film/TV clients needing English voiceover, ADR, or audiobook-style content recording. The site does not provide information about access from China, so this remains unknown. In theory, its remote services could support projects from other regions, but communication, payment, and file delivery methods should still be confirmed by email or phone in advance.
