Over the last 10 years I have
developed a productive bare bones digital recording studio that is state of the art,
affordable and large enough to accommodate a wide variety of artists, producers, bands
& musicians.
Currently, my Pro Tools 8
rig has 15 inputs for tracking and 48 tracks for mixing in the box. For a more
comprehensive discussion on gear just give me a call at 415.999.4764.
The control room is where the listening, mixing and editing takes place. All the
recording snakes lead towards this room and a custom 16 input digital audio workstation
running Pro Tools. All the gear is within reach from the desktop and routed through patch
bays. With great visibility of the main room from every location, it is comfortable for
tracking, overdubbs and mixing.
The main room is where
most of the recording takes place. 90% of everything that we record here is tracked
through microphones in this room with the performer(s) wearing headphones. This room
sounds great tracking drums, vocals, amplifiers and instruments. I have various custom
panels, baffles and methods for treating the room. Excellent visibility of the control
room and side room.
The side room is great for isolating a performer, amplifier or instrument. Seperated
from the main room by a sliding glass door, we can treat this room for many different
applications. I will put singer/songwriters in this room when we are tracking a band
because it allows for a high level of isolation from the drum mics in the main room. It's
a great room for playing guitar and/or tracking vocals. A good place to isolate a
speaker cabinet or for punchy backing vocals, horns & percussion.
The amp closet is
great for isolating a guitar amp or speaker cabinet. Guitar amps sound awesome in
there and it's another great isolation area for speaker cabinets.
The piano room stores most of
the instruments, and miscellaneous gear. This is where i keep a lot of musical
instruments and some audio gear. Both the Steinway baby grand and the
Wurlitzer spinet record great in there. When tracking vocals, instruments or amplifiers
it's much brighter and live, a good contrast to the main room.
