CONTROL ROOM
The Control Room is technical hub of our recording process. Home to our Head Engineer, it's a space that features the superb Midas Siena 480 mixing desk and Adam S3X-H Studio Monitors. It offers an extensive microphone cabinet and rooms some of the finest racks of vintage and modern outboard gear.
STUDIO A
Studio A is our largest studio space for bands to record or rehearse. It's an excellent space for recording larger ensembles and live sessions, as well as the perfect choice for tracking drums, electric guitars, vocals, and all things acoustic.
STUDIO B
Smaller than Studio A, Studio B has plenty of room for a band to jam out. What is lost in size comparison to its big brother it gains in feel and intimacy. Connected directly to the Control Room, Studio B offers a window to the artist and engineer. This is where we can keep acoustic separation without compromising on interaction.
STUDIO C
Studio C is a perfect space for bands to practice and develop their talent. It's available for slots of 2 hours and above. PA and microphones are provided and further backline can be hired by us. Please advise your requirements at the time of booking.
EQUIPMENT
At the center of our operation is one of the most powerful DAW's available to Professional Sound Engineers – Avid Pro Tools. We can take the most demanding sessions to maximize your creativity without holding anything back. Take a look below to see our studio inventory.
