The Right Track

The Right Track was a recording studio in Cleveland, Ohio, at which Trent Reznor was employed as a recording engineer and recorded demos and songs for Nine Inch Nails' debut album, Pretty Hate Machine.

History

The Right Track opened in June 1987 in the Film Exchange Building at 2106 Payne Ave. in Cleveland. [1] Bart Koster, the owner, was a regular customer at Pi Keyboards and Audio, where Reznor was working as a salesman. He found Reznor to be skilled, intelligent, and funny, and thought he could easily pick up recording engineering, so he hired Reznor before before he even finished building the studio. [2]
