Degraw Sound is a Brooklyn recording studio on the Park Slope/Gowanus border, owned and operated by producer/engineer/musician Ben Rice that was designed with and constructed by Dave Ellis. The studio features a 25' x 17' live room, a favorite for drum tracking, live full-band recordings and film shoots, as well as a separate isolation booth and is equipped with individual monitor mixers for artists. The control room is centered around a vintage Trident Series 24 console, Pro Tools HD and stocked with a collection of classic analog outboard gear, microphones and instruments providing clients the tools and environment to record and mix a wide range of projects. Clients also have access to an artists lounge with kitchenette, eat in bar and views of the Brooklyn skyline.
Operating as usual
Deep-dive with the legend @johndavidkent Beyond stoked on what we’re capturing here. Looking forward to having JDK back in the studio to keep chipping away at his album.

Recorded this live version of “Where We Are Sometimes” with @foreverhoneyband back in the old days when people could do these sorts of things. This also happens to be my favorite tune on their new EP “Pre-Mortem High” — if you haven’t listened yet, please do, it’s so good! Video magic by the legend: @abnerjamesvideo
Got to play some guitar / engineer on @findingxfletcher new single “Forever” produced by the legend and OG Degraw Fam @gianstone along with @jasonevigan @oneloveonline. All around epic crew on this tune — @amyallen @kineticsmusic @lionelcrasta @rafaelfadul @thacarterb Congrats y’all!
The Beatles used these waffle irons to record drums so naturally we do too. The Coles 4038 sound delicious on pretty much everything we put them on, so they get used around here quite a bit!

One of our go to amps — this Fender Vibrolux has made an appearance on pretty much every guitar based record we’ve made here. Our friend @patkauffmanelectronics has taken such good care of it over the years and has it totally dialed in.

Always one of our favorite guitars. Our Gibson Les Paul 1959 VOS is a super versatile instrument. Les Paul’s have a reputation as rock and roll machines, but with the volume rolled off it delivers everything from shimmering, glassy clean tones to chime and twang

Super stoked on this Flea 47 that we recently added to our mic locker here. We’ve been loving it on everything we’ve put it in front of. What should we try it on next?

Great marathon week in the studio with this gentleman. Super stoked on these new tunes! @johndavidkent #degrawsound #brooklyn #recordingstudio #johndavidkent #musicproduction #musicproducer
Just added this pair of vintage Neumann KM84’s to the mic locker and could not be more stoked! Recorded some acoustic guitar to try them out and they sound amazing. A big thanks to Joel at @ecstaticelectric for tracking these down for me. Audiophile PSA: If you need great mics — he’s the guy you want to talk to. Bought my first Neumann from him over a decade ago and he’s been an incredible resource for all things audio as well as keeping my mics here in top shape over the years. #degrawsound #brooklyn #recordingstudio #brooklynrecordingstudio #vintagegear #vintagemicrophone #neumannmicrophones #neumannkm84 #musicproducer #musicproduction
Well that was fun! A little snap from @luizlouises record release party last night. #degrawsound #brooklyn #recordingstudio #brooklynrecordingstudio #recordrelease #newmusic
Excited to announce that our friend @luizlouises from Brazil will be joining us in the studio for an intimate record release party on Monday, September 9th. Want to come? DM us for tickets, we have a few left!
After 5 years of working with these guys remotely tracking drums and mixing their records, it was great to get to meet @losmammut and have them in the studio! Thanks for making the journey to make some music with us. #degrawsound #brooklyn #brooklynrecordingstudio #musicproduction #musicproduction #recordingstudio @ Degraw Sound
Recorded this cover of one of my favorite T Rex songs with @thevaleriejune and @greg.wiz @spacepersonmusic @dan_iead Jason DiMatteo
That magic moment when your future father-in-law solves the age-old problem of “what do I do with all these guitars?!” by building a double-decker guitar rack for the studio and then suggests you get more guitars 🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘#degrawsound #brooklynrecordingstudio #brooklyn #recordingstudio #guitar #vintageguitars #fender #gibson #taylorguitars #guildguitars #danelectro #eastwoodguitars #musicproduction #musicproducer #guitarist @ Degraw Sound

Been getting seriously into all the UAD plugins lately, but still love having the SSL in the rack. Before going down the plugin rabbit hole, this beast of a compressor was glued to my mix bus for years. Might have to fire it back up soon!#degrawsound #brooklynrecordingstudio #recordingstudio #musicproduction #musicproducer #gearporn #compressors
One of my favorite guitars we have — a 1965 Gibson J-45. It’s hard to put this guitar down — resonates and records beautifully, and has so many songs in it (if you believe in that sort of thing). #degrawsound #brooklynrecordingstudio #flattopfriday #gibson #gibsonguitars #vintagegibson #j45 #vintageguitar #vintageguitars #recordingstudio #vintagegear #musicproduction
Excited to announce that we’re bringing Degraw Fest to Brooklyn Bridge Park this summer for a series of unplugged shows with some of our favorite artists. Pack your picnic baskets and come hang with us Friday nights from July 12 through August 2 (6-8pm) at Pier 3, Greenway Terrace. #degrawsound #degrawfest #brooklynrecordingstudio #brooklyn #brooklynbridgepark #summerconcerts
Nothing like FET compression. A pair of Hairball Blue Stripe Rev A’s that we built and a pair of Purple Audio’s. 📸 @drewreynolds_photo #degrawsound #brooklynrecordingstudio #recordingstudio #musicproduction #musicproducer #hairballaudio #purpleaudio #1176 #studiogear #compressor
It always feels great to sit down behind our Trident console and make records. When we were searching for a console for our studio we honed in on the Trident’s because some of our favorite records from Spoon to the Dap Kings were made on these boards. This particular console has a bit of history to it as well, it was owned by James Iha (Smashing Pumpkins) and Adam Schelsinger (Fountains of Wayne) at their studio Stratosphere Sound before we acquired it in 2012. 📸 @drewreynolds_photo #degrawsound #brooklynrecordingstudio #recordingstudio #faderfriday #vintagegear #recordingconsole #musicproduction #musicproducer
