"Tommy's studio opens the mind to creative magic, and magic is what makes great music."

--TOM VITORINO (Manager)

Joshua Tree Recording Studio

Analog configuration:

(Analog inputs before interface/Pro Tools)


Our 36 input custom analog console features all of the classics - from Neve and API, to Trident, Universal Audio and EMI. Each hardware input is recorded into Universal Audio's latest professional series studio interfaces (Apollo X16, Gen2, 36 inputs). Our hybrid analog console utilizes the very best real world preamps, compressors and EQ's. Say goodbye to thin sounding recordings and hello to major mojo!
