Music Tracking and Mix Studios
Microphones
LET’S START WITH THE MIXERS MIC COLLECTION. WHEN WE BEGAN RE-OPENING OUR STAGES/STUDIOS FOR MUSIC RECORDING, WE TOOK A LONG LOOK AT OUR MIC INVENTORY AND CONCLUDED IT WAS PRETTY DAMN GOOD. THEN WE WENT ON A BUYING SPREE AND MADE IT PRETTY DAMN GREAT. WE HAVE SPECTACULAR TUBE MICS LIKE THE NEUMANN UM57 PAIR THAT TOP OUR COLLECTION. MATCHED TO THE ORIGINAL RE-BUILT POWER SUPPLIES OR A NEW POWERTECHNIK SUPPLY THAT GIVES IT A TWEAK, YOU PICK YOUR FLAVOR. THESE ARE GORGEOUS MICS, WITH THE ORIGINAL M7 CAPSULES.
WE ALSO PROVIDE THE TOWNSEND MIC MODELING SYSTEM. THE L22. IT’S VERY GOOD AT MODELING THE CLASSICS, AND WE HAVE ALL THE SOFTWARE. BUT’S IT’S A DAMN FINE MIC ON ITS OWN. OUR AKG C60 TUBE IS THE BEST ACOUSTIC GUITAR MIC WE’VE EVER HEARD. MAYBE YOU PREFER A KM84I. GOT IT AND IT’S NICE ONE. WANT SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT ON THE SNARE? TRY OUR ALTEC “LIPSTIC” TUBE MICS. A GREAT, UNIQUE SOUNDING MIC. THERE ARE LOTS OF DRUM MICS, BUT OUR PERSONAL FAVORITES ARE THE BEYER’S. TRY OUR M60’S ON THE TOMS OR 201’S ON THE SNARE. OR PERHAPS YOU PREFER SENNHEISER OR AKG MICS. WE HAVE THEM. HAVE YOU EVER TRIED THE CLASSIC C451 WITH THE MK8 SHOTGUN CAPSULE? WOW! WHO KNEW? THE RE-20 FOR KICK OR GUITAR? WE HAVE IT.
THE POINT IS, WE’RE PASSIONATE ABOUT RECORDING, AND WE’VE HANDPICKED A COLLECTION OF UNIQUE MICROPHONES THAT REPRESENT THE BEST OF THEIR SERIES, MICS THAT WILL GIVE THE BEST YOU GOT THE BEST YOU CAN GET.
PMC Monitoring
ALL MIX STUDIOS FEATURE THE FINEST IN MONITORING: PMC POWERED BY BRYSTON. THE IB1’S ARE SOMETHING TO BEHOLD POWERED BY BIG MONO-BLOCK BRYSTON 7BST’S.
Software
WE’VE VERY PICKY ABOUT OUR SOFTWARE, SO WE CHOOSE UAD’S HARDWARE/SOFTWARE – A PAIR OF UAD OCTO’S POWERING SCADS OF THEIR WONDERFUL PLUGINS.
AND ALL STAGES HAVE KONTAKT KOMPLETE ULTIMATE 13 AND VIENNA STRINGS AND OTHER VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTS INCLUDED
We also provide All Nugen,and Izotope software, ReVoice Pro, Pitch ‘n Time Pro, Altiverb, many other titles. Need something we don’t have just ask!
ALL MIX STUDIOS ARE VIDEO READY. STUDIO A HAS DUAL PRO TOOLS SYSTEMS DESIGNED ESPECIALLY FOR VIDEO. WE HAVE SAMSUNG 4K AND PANASONIC SCREENS IN EVERY STUDIO/LIVE STAGE. WE ARE, AFTER ALL, AN EMMY-WINNING TV/FILM SOUND HOUSE WITH 1000+ SHOWS UNDER OUR BELT. IF YOUR OUTPUT IS FOR TV/FILM, WE’RE EXPERT IN THAT TERRITORY.
ALL SYSTEMS HAVE TONS OF I/O, ALL INTERCONNECTED VIA DANTE.
ALL STUDIOS HAVE DOLBY ATMOS FOR MUSIC. STUDIO A IS 7.1.4, AND STUDIO B IS 5.1.2. IF STEREO ALL IS THAT’S REQUIRED, WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED.
A 1964 LUDWIG DRUM SET AND A ’71 ROGERS W/26″ KICK ARE AVAILABLE.
Microphone Pre-Amps
AND WE’VE CHOSEN OUR MIC PRE’S JUST AS CAREFULLY. WE HAVE 16 CHANNELS OF NEVE 1073’S AND EIGHT CHANNELS OF NEVE 54 RANGE PRE’S AVAILABLE. FOR YOU TECHIES OUT THERE, THE 54’S ARE OUTPUT VIA ORIGINAL JENSEN 990’S. WE ALSO HAVE VINTAGE BOULDER/JENSEN AND API PRE’S.
DAWS
AND FOR DAWS, WE HAVE AVID PRO TOOLS ULTIMATE HDX AND NUENDO 10 SYSTEMS ON MASSIVE, HIGH-END, 16 CORE WORKSTATIONS.
ANALOG TAPE
BUT DIGITAL ISN’T ALL WE DO. WANT TAPE? WE HAVE IT. BIG, FAT, 2″ TAPE. WE HAVE TWO FINE 24 TRACK MTR90 MKII’S IN FAB CONDITION WAITING TO TRACK YOUR NEXT SESSION. AND WE HAVE TWO MTR12’S, 1/2 OR 1/4 TR MACHINES WAITING TO MIX YOUR NEXT SESSION. THESE “BIG IRON” UNITS ARE CONNECTED TO OUR GRID VIA DANTE, SO THEY’RE ALSO THE WORLD’S LARGEST/HEAVIEST PLUGIN. THEY’RE AWESOME! JUST DANTE “PATCH” THROUGH THEM INTO YOUR SESSION. OF COURSE, WE HAVE ALL MANNER OF SYNCHRONIZER AND REMOTE FOR THESE UNITS. YOU HEAR OF STUDER/AMPEX TALKED ABOUT ALL THE TIME. THESE OTARI UNITS SOUND AS GOOD OR BETTER THAN STUDER, IMHO AND GIVE AMPEX A RUN FOR THE MONEY. (WE DO HAVE STUDER VIA UAD SHOULD YOU DISAGREE.) WE DO LOVE AMPEX (ALSO A UAD PLUGIN) AND HAVING OWNED SEVERAL AMPEX’S; THE OTARI IS ON-POINT, SONICALLY. IN EUROPE, IN THE ’80S, THE MTR90 WAS THE S#$%. AND IN AMERICA, EVERY MOVIE MIXED FROM ’80 TO 2K WAS PROBABLY MIXED TO AN OTARI MTR90. SO, THREAD THE TAPE ALREADY!
