So after relocating to NYC I came down to visit Crash (pre-covid) to pick up some audio files. The…read morenew facility is amazing with the control room having a perfect monitoring room. The whole construction of the studio level ups far beyond any other medium-large set up I seen and revivals if not, beats many NYC studios. It is hard for me to describe how amazing it is but let me quote their webage so I won't paraphrase anything. "The New Studio Crash is a beautiful recording studio built from the ground up to be world class in the field. With a nice large control room, a huge 840sq ft. live room with 14 ft slanted ceilings, an isolation room, a vocal booth, and two separate amp closets we have plenty of isolated spaces to get great sounds without the need to overdub everything. This makes it possible to record very large groups live and still have plenty of elbowroom and acoustic separation. Construction. Many studios may beautiful on the surface, like ours, but what's really important here is the stuff you don't see. So what is inside the walls and below the floor? Our construction entailed room-within-a-room construction. This means the walls you see are actually TWO (2) walls; each of which have two layers of " drywall and special acoustic insulation for sound absorption and a 6" air-space between them. These walls are floating on a layer of neoprene for even more sound isolation. The two pieces of glass in the 8 foot window separating the control and live rooms are each 1/2" thick, adding to the sound control. Under our new strand woven bamboo flooring, each room has its own individual "floating" concrete slab, decoupling it from the other rooms' floors. Even the HVAC was carefully planned, with every send and return having it's own insulated flex-duct all the way back to the HVAC unit. We even installed that HVAC unit in a separate building to keep it's mechanical noise far away from the studio space. The new studio's room acoustics are wonderful. Careful consideration in the design was spent on choosing room ratios as mathematically non-correlated as possible, in order to achieve evenly distributed axial, tangential, and oblique room modes. This means we get an amazingly smooth and accurate frequency response in the room ambience. This is something practically impossible to achieve without building from scratch like we did here." Mike is a PRO PRO PRO engineer. He has a new control surface going from a C24 to a D-Command as well as some focusrite preamps. He can also work on analog consoles as well as digital. The only downside is the breakroom can use some working on (unfinished floors) and parking is a bit troublesome, (I parked in the CVS lot across the way) but what can you do?!? I'd take that perfect mix over anything! See you soon again Mike!

Kyle was incredibly patient, professional, and easy to work with throughout. Pricing was fair; never any gotchas. Our very first record was able to break into the top 200 NACC college radio charts - we couldn't have done this without Headroom. The experience was so positive that we're already planning to record our next record at Headroom again this summer - dates are locked in.

They make you feel comfortable and get the best out of you and your music.

If you are or love a creative in the Philadelphia area this is a MUST HAVE membership. The simplest…read moreway to describe REC Philly, is to say it's for creatives what a gym is to athletes. Located in Philly's fashion district, the large space has room for filming, recording, photography, podcasts, and even live performances. As amazing as the location, I think the true value is in the sense of community among other creatives. The membership's credit system makes using various studios and equipment super simple. Sly, was an amazing tour guide and gave so much insight and REC Philly's back story, I was already sold but it was great to hear his passion and commitment. I love the hours of 10am to 10pm to accommodate schedules and that members have exclusive access to courses and events. Still not sold, schedule a tour of the facility and purchase, William Tyrone Toms' (REC Philly's co-owner), (UN)common Sense, it's a great blue print for those looking to get paid while having creative freedom.

I have reviewed my email records with Soma, which I kept. I had consulted with the owner before booking a redo session, and was assured that the new recording would yield better results than the cheapest option I booked. For the first session, I had to request the vocal stems (dry vocals only) a day later as they were not ready the same day. Contrary to the post by Soma, if it were a budget issue on my end, I would not have re-booked at a higher price point at the same place. I was looking for usable vocals for my project, not just the cheapest option. I had to go to a different studio for the work. Professional enough, but not the place if you have never recorded and you are working vocals for a retro pop genre. Signed up for 2 different studios here (C & B, budget and mid-level) and in the end, neither output for the project was usable on a collaborative work. Texted (did not call) about what they could do to make it better. My suggestion would be a free mix and master on an outside project I have, if they read this, since there are no refunds.

Saw my first band here tonight, Shine On, a Floyd tribute band. It's a smaller venue, intimate,…read morewith room for maybe 100 if they packed it in. It wasn't that crowded tonight so there was plenty of space to dance. They have multiple projectors filling the walls with light and video accompanying the music, as well as some floor system that really picks up the bass and vibrates. This is to give you an immersive experience. Ironically, whatever allows the floor to vibrate also allows the floor to bow/buckle when someone walks on it which distracted me a bit until I got used to it. The sound is really amazing, and they pump it out! I'd recommend earplugs if you are sensitive. Downstairs is a very chill black light lounge area with a bar. I assumed they piped the music from the band down here, and I'm sure that is an option, but they had some very chill trance/hypno playing and you could barely hear the band upstairs, which surprised me. Completely different vibe from the upstairs. The food options are limited, and not always available which is a bummer, they advertise a fully equipped superfoods smoothie bar, which intrigued me. They advertise themselves as "the most unique music recording studio, video and event design production house." We got a parking spot by Delilah's, it was a quick walk down Front St. You can find one of you just drive in circles but we were happy parking here. Staff was super friendly, including the bartender downstairs. Bathrooms on both floors. Coat check and merch in the vestibule. Check it out, a unique and cool venue right near the Fillmore and Brooklyn Bowl.
