Control Room

Designed from the ground up for critical listening, the space is acoustically symmetrical, allowing for the best possible translation of sound, regardless of where you sit. As one of the largest control rooms in the country, it can comfortably accommodate a full team of 8-10 people, be it a band or a film project crew, to sit and listen to the final mix or check on the recording. Equipped with the ATC SCM100ASL PROs for the main far-fields and a fully Dolby-compliant 7.1.4 Atmos HE setup, courtesy of our partnership with Neumann, the control room is perfect for mixing, analog mastering, and Atmos mixes for film and music.

Live Room

Affectionately known as 'The Box,' it stands out as one of the larger live rooms in most modern studios, designed with music and tracking in mind. The space exudes a unique character and a sense of 'liveness' that enhances the quality of drums, electric guitars, and most horns. Seeking an intimate closed-dry sound? Our iso booth is tailored for ADR/dubbing and vocal recording, although it's quite common to record vocals in the larger space. Both the iso booth and the larger room complement each other, facilitating the best-sounding live recordings. This is demonstrated by our Live Sessions on YouTube, where up to 10 musicians record live with minimal bleed and individual monitoring.
