Studio B

Studio B features a 20’ x 22’ live recording space with 17’ cathedral ceilings. Renowned for its “live” drum sound, the tracking space also contains four discrete isolation booths, one of which houses a Yamaha C7 grand piano, Hammond C-3 organ with Leslie cabinet, and a Wurlitzer keyboard. This studio also features a Mytek Private Q2 12-Channel analog cue system, as well as an EMT reverb plate, with 26 input channels for personal outboard gear. The control room includes a 48 Channel API Legacy Plus with Uptown 2 automation. It’s loaded with 16-560’s, 32 550L’s, 32 212 Mic Pre’s, 8 225L comps, 2-205L direct modules, and a 2500 stereo bus compressor on board. Also includes Westlake main speakers and a variety of outboard gear. We can do analog tape… really well.
