Equipment

Our studio is a computer based digital system equipped with the latest recording software and hardware.

    Hardware:

• The nerve-center of our studio is an Aardvark Direct Pro Q10, providing 8 balanced mic-preamps.

• We use professional grade microphones by Audix, Rode, and Shure.

• Our hardware is driven by a P3 based computer system with audio dedicated harddrives.

• Our monitoring is done by a pair of Audix monitors and classic "Nova 40" headphones.

    Software:

• The main recording program we use is "Vegas" by Sonic Foundry, allowing unlimited playback and overdubbing tracks.

• The Q10's control panel has all the faders that a mixing board would have, only on a computer screen.

• We have many onboard sound enhancement effects such as reverb, chorus, Eq, phaser, distortions, delay/echo, noise gate, compression, etc.

• Once a final mix is made, we master the finished product in "Sound Forge" by Sonic Foundry.

• If needed we also have Fruity Loops and Cakewalk Pro Audio 9, for sound effects and enhancement.

    Instruments:

• If needed, drummers may use our Ludwig Maple Classic drum-set (no cymbals) on sessions. 

• It is not necessary to bring a bass-amp to recording sessions.  We use onboard guitar pre-amps for bass that give a better overall sound versus Mic-ing a bass-amp.

• All other equipment that you normally use, you should bring to the sessions.
