One Take Chicago was founded by Collin O’Boyle with a simple vision: create a professional recording environment where artists can feel comfortable, be creative, and leave with music they’re proud of.
After earning his Avid Pro Tools certification, Collin turned his passion for music and audio engineering into a growing business built around quality, consistency, and relationships with Chicago artists.
Today, One Take has expanded into multiple studio spaces with a team of engineers serving a growing community of independent artists.
The vision continues to grow: give artists one place to record their music, create professional content, develop their sound, and build their brand.
One Take Chicago — Your Sound. Your Vision. One Take.
