About Us

Lofty Ideals Productions (LIPs) was founded in April 2016 by Tony Corona, a CU Denver Audio Engineering graduate, Certified Pro Tools Operator and professional drummer. Tony originally delayed his career in audio engineering to pursue his main focus of perfecting his craft as a drummer. Even while focusing on performing, Tony continued to work on small recording projects as well as continue his education within the recording arts. After years of dividing time between drumming and playing professionally in bands, touring, and recording, Tony is now ready to apply his knowledge, skills, and passion for audio engineering to other artists and acts’ projects.

Denver has several quality recording studios. However, Tony feels it is lacking in budget oriented options. Whether you are looking to do a demo, EP, pre-production, need some songs mixed or mastered, LIPs has you covered. Located in the heart of Denver, at the intersections of Five Points, Curtis Park, Downtown, and RiNo, LIPs’ loft space boasts a large 1000 sq. foot tracking room and tons of great gear. Lofty Ideals Production is committed to producing quality product on a musician’s budget.

Tony Corona

Born in Aurora, Colorado, Tony is a native that began drumming on suitcases at three, ice cream tubs at six, and graduated to his first drum set at 10. He began playing professionally at the age of 18. He studied music performance at Metropolitan State College for three years, and eventually graduated from the University of Colorado at Denver in 2000. He has played in a multitude of projects varying in styles such as Latin, Jazz, Punk, Gospel, Country, Blues, and Rock. He has spent as much time, behind the soundboard, as he has, as a musician, in front of it.

Having been on both sides of the glass, Tony understands what needs to happen technically; he can relate to the musician and the amount of work that goes into the writing and recording of music. It’s like an additional member to your group – a trained, outside ear to the creative process.

Tony is driven to do what is best for your project; whether that be playing drums, arranging, producing, recording, or just mixing and mastering.
