Equipment

This is a list of the gear we have as of July 1, 2002. We're constantly on the lookout for interesting additions to our growing collection of microphones, vintage instruments, and processing gear. Check our site often to see what we've added!
We've just upgraded our hard disc recording system to the Mac G4 867 mhz, with a gig of ram, and 120 gigs of hard disc. Plus all of the latest versions of our killer software!
Make sure to check out our prices .
We offer 24 track digital recording at project studio prices!

NEW ADDITIONS!!
Our newest purchases are for the control room and our hard disc system. We recently added a pair of AMAZING vintage Focusrite pre's to our arsenal. These are two channels of 85115 pre's from an old board. They sound ridiculously warm and full., Some of Sir Rupert's finest work!

Along with the pre's we've added some new mikes to plug into them! We picked up a matched pair of AT4050 large diaphragm condensers. We also added one of the holy grails, the Neumann Tube 147. This mike sounds amazing!!

We've also done quite a bit of upgrading to our hard disc system! WE've upgraded to Digital Performer 3. We vcan now open up and save to and from pro tools. We added some pretty cool softsynths to the mix including Reason, the B4 organ synth (which is an incredible program of vintage hammonds) and Dynamo, a rack of samplers, sounds and FX. Very cool, easy to use, and completely integrated into the DP system!
