The guys behind Make Believe are doing a ton of interior work on this building behind the fence on 20th street to make a really nice recording studio space.
A shot they posted on their facebook of interior work.

Here is a link to the thread that Rick Carson (co-owner and mixing engineer) runs.
I used to work at Make Believe and I keep in touch with the guys at the studio. Basically, this is a house that they are converting into a world class studio. There are a lot of quirky things about this location, including a wok in the kitchen, that would remind you of their original location at 805 Hickory Street (the original location had a hot tub, secret compartments, and a very 70s vibe).
As far as the studio goes, you won't find a better one in Omaha. The talent there is unquestioned and unrivaled. Check out some of their acts if you get a chance:

Re: Make Believe Studios
Make Believe is going to be affiliated with Miloco Studios, an international collection of recording studios.

Omaha is really becoming a destination for recording.

http://www.miloco.co.uk/ The clients list is pretty amazing.One Omaha studio may soon be drawing more national and international acts.
Rick Carson of Make Believe Studios recently announced his studio would begin an affiliation with Miloco Studios. The Miloco organization, based in the UK, partners with recording studios to help connect musicians to the right space. We assume that means pairing an artist’s sonic goals with a studio’s tendencies. You can see their explanation here.
Carson told us the Miloco affiliation promises a certain standard for a studio. He notes that U2 — which has the money, gear and recording options make an album however it wants — recorded its last record at select Miloco studios.
“[Miloco] aren’t really that well known in America as a studio group because, to be honest, I think that is a little bit of a new concept on this side of the pond,” Carson says.
Make Believe is the fifth Miloco studio in the United States, now included in the wake of larger-market studios in New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Nashville.
“It’s a huge honor for the Omaha music community to be put on a map like that,” Carson says. “It will be marketed right along side every other market in the U.S. and most of Europe. I believe, for a lot of people, this will be the first time they ever see Omaha as an option, even if they don’t come to Make Believe. Check out the city, see what makes us special. Miloco does a good job of including that in their branding.”
He says some of the biggest bands in the world receive info about Miloco accredited studios, and this now includes Make Believe.
Omaha is really becoming a destination for recording.

Re: Make Believe Studios
