The Studios and The Gear
The Live Room
The heart of our facility revolves around a beautiful live room. It is acoustically treated and sounds amazing especially for drums. The room is also set up to provide variable acoustics by utilizing custom installed acoustical doors.
The Control Room
Completely isolated from the live rooms our control room has been tuned to allow for critical listening during tracking and mixing. The room is wired to be able to capture sources directly through Pro tools HD, Antelope 32 channel AD/DA digitally to the computer or analogue through our JH24 track 2" analogue tape machine. Everything is monitored through a pair of Focal Twin6BE Beryllium tweeter monitors.
Outboard Gear
For tracking and mixing alike we have a great selection of outboard gear to patch into.

Tape Machine
There is something magical that happens when you hit signal to tape. The warmth, saturation and harmonic distortion that we heard throughout the records of the past has gotten lost in our modern digital world. We're excited to be able to offer a more vintage vibe to your recording by tracking through our Sony JH24 2" analogue tape machine. We've got both 16 and 24 track heads to either get a little more tape width or maximize channel count.
