Roadside Recording Studio

Roadside Recording Studio is a 640 square foot open concept recording space located on the third floor of an 1806 farmhouse in beautiful Danville, Vermont; a part of the state's rural Northeast Kingdom region. Roadside was officially started in 1996 by Ryan Dauphin in his parents' basement. The early days consisted of a 4-track tape machine and then a move to digital based recording in the late '9

0s. Our current studio set up centers around a British-era Midas Venice 320 analog console going into modified vintage transformer-based Altec Lansing preamps with Burr Brown operational amps. From the preamps, the signal flows through (2) 8 channel Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 interfaces into an Apple iMac (with 16 gigs of ram & a 1 TB hard drive). Our collection of modern and vintage outboard gear includes preamps from Universal Audio, Groove Tubes and Applied Research and Technology, and vintage Shure; Compressors by Empirical Labs (Distressor), Shure (vintage SE-30- Level Loc), FMR Audio (RNC), vintage Ashly (SC-50); Ashly PQ66 Parametric EQ and more! We are currently tracking within Logic Studio 9, a very professional multi-tracking and composing platform. Plug-ins include programs from Apple, Waves, Slate Digital, Izotope, Soundtoys, Focusrite and Toontrack. We are monitoring through Adam A7's nearfield monitors with an iKey-Audio sub woofer (primary), with 2nd reference through Behringer Truth B2030A's. Our headphone collection includes: Beyerdynamic DT880, AKG K240 (x3), AKG K271, and Vic Firth isolation headphones from drum tracking (x2). Our microphone collection includes mics from Mojave, Coles, AEA, Shure, Blue, Rode, EV, Cascade, AKG, Steanes, DBX, a homemade subkick and more. Are you a home recording engineer?
