Digital Recording:
When your music needs hi-fidelity. With a range of modern microphones, our Focusrite ISA828 preamps, 24bit Apogee Symphony 192kHz converters, Logic Pro and a range of outboard and plugins, we can capture and produce your music fast to get the best sound. We can mix & master or you can take away the stems.

Analogue & Tape Recording:
When your music needs something more than digital. Tape ignores the high frequency transients that digital captures and reproduces the warmth soul of your music. 
Our vintage mics, Focusrite Red and Thermionic Culture valve channel strips and 1", 16-Channel Tascam Tape machine will multitrack your entire band. We can combine this warmth with digital if you want more editing. Then, mix & master to digital or convert to stems for you to take away.

Analogue to Digital Mastering:
To bring your mix to life, we offer valve outboard mastering using Thermionic Culture and Focusrite Red Compressors and the classic transformer sound of our Neve summing mixer. We can also record your mix to tape then back to digital via our 192kHz Apogee Symphony converters.
