Question of the Week: Studio & Engineer Recommendations

I've been thinking about recording a new project in a studio sometime in the near future, and have been debating whether to work with an engineer I've already recorded with or try somebody (and some place) new. And if I decide to branch out, who should I record with? Amid this internal debate, I got to thinking that it would be great for CIMTB to have a list of studios and engineers that Portland musicians recommend.

So I pose this question to you, CIMTB readers: what Portland studios and engineers do you highly recommend?

I'd like to compile a list from your comments and make a blog post(much like Goldie's Karaoke list from a while back). So, please try and include the following information in your recommendations:

*your overall recording experience

*your music genre/sound (Band name and link are a plus)

*the quality of the final product

*any info about the recording system or gear that you might know or care about.

*a general assessment of the rates using dollar signs (kind of like restaurant guides): from $ as dirt cheap to $$$$$ as top dollar.

*a link to the studio and/or enginieer(s)' website (if they have one)
