- Our recording studio is spacious, air conditioned, and well lit. We have two vocal booths (one small, one large) that are fully treated for both reflections and isolation, ensuring that great ‘in your face’ vocal recording. Our main room is a large 24′ x 36′ with 15 foot ceilings. We have a drum booth to control drum bleed.
- We own an excellent selection of microphones including: Neumann U87 and TLM102, Shure SM7b and SM81, AGK 4000CB, Lewitt LCT 540, and many, many more! We have over 20 condenser microphones alone for our clients use, plus a set of Avantone dynamic drum mics and other dynamics.
- We have some of the best preamps in the business, including Neve, Grace, Chameleon Labs, A Designs, Daking, Aphex, Midas, and more!
- We have one of the best converters available: a Lynx Aurora, whose only job is to convert analog signals to digital for recording, then from digital back to analog for monitoring. This top-notch unit converts at an ultra high level to assure the best, cleanest recordings possible.
- During recording, we have five Behringer personal monitors available so that each band member can dial in their own custom headphone mix. Our mixdown monitoring system consists of Event 20/20 8″ mains, with Avantone mix cubes for an optional mix comparison. Our mixes are run through a Midas F32 mixer and a JDK Mix Bus compressor before being recorded to high definition SD. Our accurate monitoring system ensures that mixes translate well to all systems outside of our recording studio.
