It is true that having the best gear that money can buy does not guarantee a hit record. However if you have the talent and the performance material we want to offer you the very best way to capture, edit and master your work.
The studio is based around an Intel Mac Pro running ProTools HD2.
We use industry standard Avid 192 interfaces to allow us to record up to 32 microphones at a time (enough even for the most vast of drum kits).
In place of a mixing console we use Euphonics Artist series controllers. These not only save space, but offer a much faster way of working with most of the software we use for recording and editing.
We try to keep up with the latest trends in recording technology. To this end for most guitar recording we use the Avid Eleven Rack. It sounds amazing. We have 2 amps which sound great. But the Eleven Rack offers 22 of the greatest most sort after amp models ever built in a very versatile unit. Guitarists, unless you have something out of this world leave your amps at home. This thing sounds better.
We have a wide range of outboard hardware by TC Electronic, SPL, and Avid, M Audio, Sontronics and many of the greatest sounding plugins by Sonox, Digidesign, Focusrite, AIR, McDSP, Waves and many more.
The microphone collection is ever growing.
We have modern classics to workhorses by Neumann, AKG, Sennheiser, Shure, Sontronics, SE, M Audio, Shiney Box and Blue.
We always try to offer performers the very best. To that end we have a collection of great instruments and effects that are available to use on your session.
