The STUDIO B control room is an acoustically designed control room that is a perfect extension to our Analog NEVE tracking room. It incorporates a Digidesign ProTools HD 7 system which is great for total recall automated mixing, vocal tuning and just about any sound editing or manipulation you can think of. The control surface (console) makes it easy for analog engineers to adapt to the “in the box” style of mixing.

We also made the studio compatible with our “A” studio to allow overdubbing to the RADAR format for those who want to stay in that format. This studio features great microphone preamps and compressors from Neve, Universal Audio, Avalon, and vintage DBX to assure the highest quality vocal sound. For those who prefer other DAW (Digital Audio Workstations), we offer the popular Cubase 4 (Nuendo) as well as Digital Performer 4.6.

 

 STUDIO B has two isolation booths with great visibility to the producer. Although designed primarily for overdubbing and mixing, it is also useful as a midi-sequencing room, ADR, and radio interviews.

 

 

 STUDIO B has its own separate lounge complete with couches, snack areas, television, and rest rooms.
