Our fully equiped recording studio and digital audio workstation is designed to produce the best quality sound in today's sound generation.
Starting with the recording booth, a 2.8 square metre custom built room simulated with insulation fibre glass as well as sound absorbtion panels designed to the shape of the room to decrease sound reflections, high frequency and 40dB's of volume ensuring dead-quiet recording sessions for the best possible results especially for vocal and acoustic guitar recordings. The studio condensor microphone in use is the Rode NT1 routed with a top quality cable for that perfect and clearest sound. Vocalist headphones - Senheiser HD 212 Pro, mad to cover the ear fully to prevent being picked up by the Mic.
Moving next door to the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) the most important piece of equipment here is the PC. Custom built, an intel core 2 duo E8400 3.0 Ghz CPU fitted on an Intel exectutive series motherboard with 4GB Memory and pro dual view graphics card ensures fast processing time in our projects. The sound Card in use, an EMU Tracker Pre external USB 24Bit, 192Khz, (Standard Recording 24bit, 96Khz).
The mixing desk is a 16 channel Behringer UB2442FX Pro, routed with the Behringer Dynamics Processor MDX 2200, De-Esser/Suppressor for the sensitive High "S" (Sibilance) recording reduction. MIDI controller in use is the Evolution MK449C MIDI Keyboard.
Choice of Monitors are the Behringer Truth B2031 Nearfield Monitors, which produce an excelent Bass for Dance and Hip Hop production. Sub of choice the Samon subwoofer giving the studio the 'bottom' end.
