Analog Configuration:
(Microphone preamp inputs before DAW/Pro Tools)
Our custom configured recording console offers a premium collection of industry standard preamps, compressors and EQ's. Using real world analog signal processors brings your music to its' fullest potential by giving your music the full weight and definition that you expect from a professional recording. Rather than rely solely on one console sound, our setup utilizes all of the classic consoles in one uniform configuration (Neve, API, Trident, EMI, UA etc.). This setup offers more "color", more versatility and more choice during production (click on input for more info).
