As noted earlier this month, the Utah County music scene continues to thrive, and with it come more opportunities for musicians to put out great albums and expand their part of it all. --- One of the studios helping crank out the local music is Audio West, located on the north end of Provo, with one of the fanciest studios you'll find in the entire state.
