  • Studio B is centered around a 32 channel Rupert Neve Designs 5088 console, has a ton of outboard gear and a super versatile recording space.

  • In Studio C you’ll find a perfect set up for overdubs, with a generous recording booth and lots of different preamps.

  • Studio D is our primary stereo and Dolby Atmos mixing room - a studio built from the ground up with the most precise acoustics in mind, which makes it the best room in our facility to do the final quality control of your music.

From medium size orchestras, to rock bands, and  singer-songwriters
