Keys in the control room today.
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 to 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.
Operating as usual

The Sony C500's. One of the more interesting pairs we have in the studio. Great for anything from kick drums to bass amps to drum rooms. #SONY #API #VINTAGE
Two of our three AKG C 414 EB's, circa 1976. A favorite around here for drum overheads and piano. #AKG #API #Vintage
Listening back to the weeks work.

You may have seen us recently on the FX comedy series Better Things co-created by Pamela Adlon and Louis C.K.
It was great to have the studio featured in two episodes of season one.

More console maintenance to make sure your sessions go as smooth as possible. Running a 70's era API ain't easy.

JPVerbs is a REmatrix library created by John Paterno which collects the reverb chains he uses in his mixes. In order to create dense and richer ambiences he typically layers multiple vintage reverb units, so REmatrix was the perfect tool to recreate this process.
We had a blast last night showing off the new Mix Factory summing mixer for Tony Shepperd. We'd like to give a big thanks to A-Designs Audio, Little Labs, ATC Loudspeaker Technology Ltd, Amphion Loudspeakers ltd., Music Connection Magazine, everybody else who showed up to hang out, and of course Tony himself for planning this awesome event.
The Mix Factory was created by A-Designs Audio and Tony Shepperd. While sounding great this box offers plenty of awesome and unique features. Check it out here.
