Studio A

Our 1,250 sq. ft. Studio A includes a spacious control room, large live room, and 2 Iso rooms. The main control room is centered around a 48 channel SSL Duality console, with plenty of modern and vintage outboard preamps, compressors, eqs and reverb units. The live room is easily large enough to fit a full band of any size, the larger Iso booth can comfortably fit a full drum kit, and the smaller Iso is perfect for nice tight vocal recordings.

Studio B

Our 350 sq. ft. Studio B has a very comfortably sized control room, a live room large enough to record a full drum kit, and an entry room between them perfect for isolating amps or other instruments.  This is a perfect studio for production sessions, overdubs, or mixing.
