Studio A
Attached to Control Room A which was designed from the ground up for surround sound mixing are 2 large tracking rooms plus 4 isolation booths. Each one of these environments is sonically as well as visually unique. The medium is the air, from the microphone to your ears. This is how our rooms were built.
LOUNGE A : When it’s time to relax step into a lounge worthy of sultans, luxurious seating space, full kitchen, and a complete entertainment system.
DRUM ROOM : Wishing for that stone castle? Welcome to our little “Big Room”: When too much is just enough. Egyptian granite walls with an English cobblestone ceiling……a place where even John Bonham would have felt at home- no plug in can beat the feel of natural reverb.
ISO/DEAD BOOTH : If a tree falls in the forest….The answer here is NO…..you wont hear and only your instrument will know for sure and sometimes that’s all you need ……direct, sweet and pure. Surrounded by fully absorptive silk covered walls this is the yin to the yang of the live booth next door.
TRACKING ROOM : Large enough to play together and versatile enough to get any sound you need. All this is accomplished by being able to literally create a room of your choice in minutes. It begins with a tunable isomorphic wall that can be absorptive or reflective or any combination, a stonewall for hard reflection, and a tuneable ceiling. Ponder the tree of life rendered in beautiful hand cut granites and marbles, it might not solve the mysteries of the universe, but will give you some inspiration for that next number 1. Enjoy the light, yes its real! Beautiful daylight is filtered through our 3rd floor atrium, and at night set your own mood with LED loaded lighting.
HARD BOOTH : Singing in the shower couldn’t be more fun, but please leave your clothes on our engineers are a bit shy. Glass tile, a skylight and sight lines to the control room and tracking room makes you emperor of your musical universe.
CONTROL ROOM A : Mains by the legendary George Augspurger and yes they do go to 11. Analog still reigns supreme but we have the digital realm more then covered. 72 channel SSL 9000 XL with 24 channels of super remote mic pre’s, two Studer A827’s with Dolby SR, and a 48-channel Pro Tools HD rig with Lavery converters. And the rack......no torture here......just more wonderful vintage analog for your perusal......we have plenty of plug-ins that actually plug into the wall.
VESTIBULE BOOTH : A way into this magical land…..but look again it can double as another booth. This space is fully isolated from the control room and the live room by 2 pairs of acoustic doors. This space can be as versatile as your imagination allows.
LARGE BOOTH : This half dead, half live room is perfect for anything warm-think bass, think bass, think bass.
