Four Decades of
Texas Sound

Audio Dallas Recording Studio was founded in 1981 by Paul Osborn in Garland, Texas. Over four decades, Paul has recorded and mixed 30+ Gold and Platinum, Grammy-nominated projects, building one of the most storied studios in Texas history.

In 1996, Paul purchased the legendary Autumn Sound studio — the same building, same design — after it had closed its doors. With it came the Autumn Sound name and many of its long-standing clients. In 2026, Paul and Kim Osborn received the Certificate of Recognition from Governor Greg Abbott honoring this remarkable legacy.

A Legend Recorded Here // The Story

Willie Nelson &
Red Headed Stranger

Before Audio Dallas acquired the building, it was home to Autumn Sound — where Willie Nelson recorded three full albums, including one of the most celebrated records in American music history: Red Headed Stranger.

The album features the timeless chart-topping single "Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain" — a song that defined outlaw country and cemented Willie Nelson's place in music history forever.

When Paul Osborn purchased Autumn Sound in 1996 — the same building, the same legendary rooms — that historic legacy became part of the Audio Dallas story. Paul now owns the Autumn Sound name and proudly continues that tradition of excellence.
