Montreal, Canada — May 19, 2026 — Grammy®-winning producer and engineer Will Yip has opened “Memory Music Studios” in South Philadelphia where each of the four control rooms feature Focal Trio6 ST6 monitors. Yip recently won a 2026 Grammy Award for “Best Rock Album” as Co-producer with Brendan Yates, and Recording Engineer along with Jason Lader for the album Never Enough by Turnstile. “Even on my most important or high stakes record to date…I walked into a really famous studio and I had them swap out their monitors for Focals, I can’t make a record without Trio6,” says Yip.
About his new studio Yip, reveals, “I just wanted to build my dream studio, I wanted to give Philadelphia and the community of musicians I work with, a haven to create. It sounds simple but I really wanted to collect what I loved and hated about working in studios all over the world and make the most ergonomic and freeing place to make a rock record. Those ideas have grown and evolved through working in some of the best studios in the world and spending the last 19 years working in Studio 4, in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania.”
The newly opened Memory Music Studios features three control rooms and three live rooms, and a mixing and mastering room, each of the four rooms hosts a pair of Focal Trio6 ST6 monitors. The new spacious studio also features two comfortable, well-appointed lounges and vast on-site resources of guitars, amplifiers, keyboards, and outboard gear.
“The Trio6s completely changed my audio life,” recalls Yip. “I’ve always searched for the perfect monitor that has detail and makes me work, while still being the most enjoyable to listen to for everyone in the studio. The Trio6 far surpasses anything I’ve ever dreamt of. There’s now life before and after the Trios for me. Before, I would have to reference between 5 sets of monitors and stereo systems before I could commit to how the low end or mid-range detail was sitting.”
“Now I have the Trios, it’s a one stop shop,” he adds. “Music coming out of my Trio6s is the way that mix is supposed to sit in its most accurate form. There’s so much dimension, depth, and detail at any volume, yet it all translates perfectly to any other speaker. The Trio6s are the perfect monitor.”
Will Yip was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, his journey into the music industry began with a deep-rooted passion for punk and hardcore music, which he cultivated from a young age. He has become renowned for his approach to songcraft and his distinctive production style, characterized by its dynamic range, meticulous attention to detail, and an unwavering commitment to capturing the essence of each artist’s vision. He has a Grammy Award for ‘Best Rock Album’ for Turnstile’s ‘Never Enough, and highlights of his other credits include Title Fight, Superheaven, Circa Survive, Neck Deep, Sleeping With Sirens, Code Orange, and Turnover.
