Vault Records LLC

The Vault is the vision of Owner and President Bob McCutcheon. Bob is a Pittsburgh native and long time Pittsburgh community leader. His passion for music and his love of community led to the concept of “The Vault”. Bob started his first recording studio, “Alternative Studios” in his mother’s garage in 1988 where he worked his way through college engineering and producing local bands. Although his professional path ultimately turned towards successful career in business, he never gave up the passion. He continued to play, write and record music for the next 25 years. Inspired by his children’s love of music, his family embarked on a journey to create a new and vibrant space were musicians of all kinds could connect, co-create, record and promote their music. They purchased the old bank building on Neville Island and hired Los Angeles based Yanchar Design and Consulting Group, a premier design firm specializing in the design of high-end recording and post-production facilities. In 2016, The Vault was born. Our mission is to promote Pittsburgh to achieve greater recognition for its vibrant arts community and rich history in musical excellence. The Vault hosts a world-class recording studio, record label, recording school and community outreach programs through its charitable work. It also includes “Inside The Vault” that provides content and promotional opportunities to artists and other industry professionals, through our blog, YouTube channel and publications. Our primary objective is providing access to a state-of-the-art facility and a talented team dedicated to building communities and supporting artists. With the NEVE 8058 as its centerpiece, The Vault is a world-class recording facility designed to provide the highest quality service to some of the most elite artists and producers in the world. With 6-time Grammy award winning Producer/Engineer Jimmy Hoyson as our Chief Engineer, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality service to our clients.
