Gear List
Curious about what gear we use? You've come to the right place.
Hardware and Software
Our Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) is powered by Magix Samplitude Pro X4 Suite--the same software used by Grammy Award-Winning Recording and Mastering engineers around the globe. For mixing and mastering, we use a combination of plugins from Samplitude, Plugin Alliance, and IK Multimedia's T-Racks 5 Max. All of this runs on a business-class, multi-core Dell PC.
Recording Gear
Our racks include the rock-solid performance of the RME Fireface UFX, the pristine preamplification of the RME Octamic XTC, the authentic tube tone of the ART Pro MPA II, and the transparent and musical compression of the ART Pro VLA II. We can record up to 30 tracks simultaneously--enough for a band of almost ANY size!

Acoustic Treatment
Acoustic anomalies such as early reflections, standing waves, and uneven bass response can make even the best voice, instrument, or mix sound less than ideal. For this reason, both our Tracking and Control Rooms feature professional acoustic treatments by Ready Acoustics.
