(1)

Our studio is home to a true vintage API console, consisting of a 32 Channel section circa 1977, with the original mega-headroom 312 mic pres and 554 semi-parametric EQ's, and an original 16 Channel section, circa 1972, the sound that launched the API reputation, equipped with beloved 550 EQ's. A better drum sound can not be had, and the design of the studio, with the three iso rooms in addition t

o the main space, is ideal for tracking a band live. Put all that together with great mics and the many years of experience of the staff, and you have a combination that ensures a positive recording experience, as close to a sure thing as you will find.

It’s basically designed to emulate what a producer’s home studio is like, but with a lifetime of collected vintage instruments and recording equipment, in a purpose built environment that would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to acquire.

Tech Tuesday, and this week it’s our beautiful old Lexicon 200 digital reverb! Six different full stereo reverb programs with WIDE ranging control over the size of the space your emulating, your pre-delay, diffusion, reverb time, other settings which allow you to hone in on very specific spatial design, and instant recall for user modifications. First released in 1984, this thing is undeniably fun, and insanely versatile in its capabilities and applications. It lives on our reverb send 3-4, and it’s great a great one to throw in on a session and record to have later. Come try it out!

Some shots from the last couple weeks. Sessions are humming along and the studio sounds as silky as ever. Or huge and distorted. Whatever you want really. We do it all.

Our vintage Gretsch has served on a plethora of records lately. Very cool to hear that thing bring songs together.

Le Publison 🤩🙌. This Tech Tuesday we’d like to show you one of the rarest and coolest pieces of outboard gear we’ve got! We’ll surely have some more demos of this in the future. The Publison DHM 89 B2 was first released in 1978 and was WELL ahead of its time. This stereo delay and pitch shifter is a dreamscape in a box. An absolute wonderland of vibes and moods and it’s just a blast to play around with 😂. It features dual channels able to operate independently creating delays from 1ms up to a frequency dependent variable maximum of up to 1,200 ms depending on your selection, with a feature that allows for continuous variation of delay time without creating a doppler effect or glitching. It’s such a rare treat to just sit down and the effects from this unit just wash over the whole room. Come see for yourself! Give us a call 🤙.

Throwback to............likely 1997 or '98. This is me and one of my main mentors, the wonderful Gavin MacKillop, and we we most likely working on the "Friends" tv show theme song with The Rembrandts, which is when I met him, ironically at Stagg St! We'd go on to work nonstop together for another 8 years after that.
