Studio Equipment

Our studio is at the heart of what we do. It's large enough to accomodate several people while we work & mix, also large enough to record 'live' performers. Additionally we have a separate recording booth that comfortably accomodates 1-3 singers, or instrumental soloists. The technology is a combination of traditional recording and modern digital/computer techniques, giving the advantages of recording excellence combined with "instant recall" for every project, which is very useful when we're working to deadline, writing several projects at one time , or re-visiting a past project for remixing.
