Gear

The most important part of any recording session is the ideas people bring to it, but having some great gear around the studio certainly makes things more fun.

Recording

  • Mac Studio – Avid Pro Tools – industry-standard digital audio workflow. Near-endless track count so you can create and arrange to your heart’s desire.

    Tascam 388 – 8-track, ¼" tape - The perfect option for rock and indie bands seeking a saturated, analog sound. The 388 offers the right balance of control and lo-fi character to capture the vibe while maintaining clarity, and it has just enough tracks to keep the focus on what’s essential to your song.

    Tascam 424 mkIII – 4-track, cassette - If you’re feeling even more adventurous, we can record your band by going back to the basics. This is for those who think eight tracks are too many. The 424 is a 4-track cassette recorder that offers bands a chance to recreate the feel of their favorite 1990s demos. It’s great for loud, fast records as well as softer songwriter-style recordings.
