The acoustically treated Studio A and newly equipped Studio B provide optimal environments for capturing high-quality audio. Engineers use vintage and modern gear including Neumann U47 microphones and DW Performance Series drums to ensure authentic sound reproduction.
Editing/Mixing/Mastering
We deliver polished final products using SSL 4000G and Neve 517 preamps in our tuned control room. Our engineers apply Grammy-honed techniques to balance tracks, enhance dynamics, and prepare masters for digital distribution.
