Specialties
Recording:
The 25' x 17' live room is a fantastic space for recording drums, and when coupled with the ISO booth, it provides an ideal space for live band tracking complete with individual artist-controlled headphone cue mixes. The ISO booth is also fantastic for voice-over recording.

The vintage Trident analog console offers fantastic sounding flexible routing to utilize all of the outboard gear, while the Pro Tools HD DAW features a wide array of plug-ins. We also offer remote mixing for artists outside of the New York City area.
