The Boss
Every great studio has one.
Abbey Road had cats. The Dome Collective has Valentino — a dalmatian with impeccable session manners, a sixth sense for when the take is “the one”, and a firm policy that all load-ins pause for chin scratches.
He makes the rounds during tracking, supervises from the couch during playback, and has personally approved every final master bounce. His notes are mostly nonverbal and rarely wrong.
Bands ask about him before they ask about the mic locker. Correct priorities, honestly.
