Studio A

Large enough to track an 8-peice band or record a medium sized orchestra, but intimate enough for a relaxed vocal session. Our Studio A control room is 40'x25'x12' and is professionally tuned to ensure great mixed. Centered around Pro Tools|HD and a Yamaha O2R, this control room can meet any needs of the most modern project. Out Studio A also features many of the classic vintage peices of gear that you expect from any top studio such as Neve, API, Neumann, Universal Audio, and Telefunken. This room is equally efficient for full band tracking session and album mix projects.
