The runway 4 approach to LGA near Astoria Blvd & 83rd St last week. For those of us who live in Queens, this is a MUST. Planes don’t always land in this direction, LGA switches the approaches up depending on the weather, but when they do and you’re directly underneath - whoa! #studioray #recordingstudio #recordingstudioqueens

So the wife works in fashion where she negotiates deals with lots of big companies. Last week she helped put together a shoot for Fender guitars. Guess what she negotiated as part of her fee??? YUP! Brand new American Professional TELECASTER! Just arrived 20 minutes ago direct from Fender. THANK YOU Beloved!!! #Fender #guitar #studioray #recordingstudio #recordingstudioqueens #musicproduction #recordingvocals #mastering #masteringstudio #hiphoprecording #hiphopqueens #producer #musicproducer

Dunlavy monitors. Used in high end recording and mastering studios around the world - including mine :) No longer made, but on the used market you can find a pair of SM-1’s - shown here - for around $1k. Holds its own against speakers costing 5-10x as much. #recordingstudio #recordingstudios #studioraynyc #musicproduction #mastering #masteringstudio #masteringstudionyc #bestvocals #hiphop #hiphopqueens #recordingstudioqueens #hiphoprecording #nuendo #cubase #audioengineer #producing #producer
