Equipment

Besides an extensive library of top-rated professional software, plug-ins and add-ons, the heart of our rich sound is a vintage custom analog console. We also feature an array of vintage outboard gear.

 

 

Most of the above is available at no extra charge. We are frequently upgrading equipment. Changes occur on a regular basis. If you have special needs, please confirm availability.

The Studio

a full service Pro Tools|HDX and 2-inch analog, fully automated, master-quality studio with rooms for tracking, editing, mixing and mastering, all on site.

All rooms are acoustically engineered, including a live drum room, semi-live guitar and vocal room and an accurate, neutral control room precisely balanced to our JBL monitors. Near-field monitors are Yamaha NS-10M and Auratone cubes.

We offer a 64 input, fully automated recording console featuring Neve pre-amps and 8 band E.Q. This warm, punchy console is complemented by an abundance of outboard gear including six high-end professional digital reverbs, hard-to-find vintage tube and modern state-of-the-art limiters, compressers, expanders, gates, exciters, delays, de-essers, equalizers, noise reduction, psycho-acoustic devices and numerous other effects.

We also have an impressive microphone selection ranging from the best Neumann, AKG, Sennheiser, Electro-Voice, Sony, Stedman, Groovetube and a long list of other mics. In addition, we offer a number of vacuum tube mic pre-amps for all appropriate applications.

We offer mix-down to high-end pro analog 2-track machines and all digital formats.

We also offer full SMPTE/MIDI implementation and an 88-key weighted controller and a large sample library.
