Phase One Studio C
Feb.28.2010
Phase One C Room was designed by Pilchner-Schoustal. The room features a 48 input SSL Duality console and monitors by DynAudio, Kranis One and Tannoy. I’ve had the pleasure to master in this room.
Radiobu
Feb.24.2010
A beautiful personal recording space designed by Russ Berger Design Group. Radiobu is an 1,100 square foot production space that supports multimedia.
The studio consists of a main control room, a large glass recording booth, a machine room, kitchenette, bathroom and lounge. It houses a Digidesign Icon D-Control console along with a large collection of vintage recording equipment and instruments.
The Mixing Room
Oct.13.2009
The Mixing Room is a facility that features two identical — except for the color — 5.1 surround sound audio post-production suites. Designed by Wes Lachot, the rooms feature Pro Tools HD3, C|24 consoles and monitors by Blue Sky.
Love the design work by Wes Lachot.
Paragon Studios
Sep.30.2009
Paragon Studios is a multi-room world-class studio in Franklin, Tennessee. The facility is 22,000 square feet and was one of the first studios to install the SSL C300 film mixing console. The photo below is from their Control Room C. A Pro Tools HD environment with a D-command Console.
Charleston Sound
Jun.20.2009
Charleston Sound is a high-end studio located in Charleston, South Carolina. The studio was designed by Wes Lachot Design. The control room features a custom API recording and mixing console that features 56 API 500 series slots, 32 channels of API equalization, 32 API microphone preamps, 40 mix down inputs, and extensive patchbay and routing capabilities.
Phase One Studios
Jun.11.2009
I will be in Phase One Studio A the first week of August engineering the bed tracks for Trevor’s latest project. I had the pleasure of working with Trevor and his team on his last release, a 20-song Christmas project. I have also been doing some remix work for Trevor at home from my temporary mix room.
As the new studio construction for my room won’t happen now until early next year — darn those financial markets — we will be working out of Studio A for bed tracks and then dealing with overdubs and mixdown at my home. I have my Pro Tools rig all set up and I can effectively mix and deal with one-up tracking.
Phase One offers a vintage Neve console. At roughly 14 feet long, it offers both 1073 and 1084 modules. The recording area is about 1,500 square feet and the room has over 70 microphones and lots of outboard. Numerous artists have worked here including folks like Sting and Herbie Hancock. George Massenburg seems to like working out of this room as well. When I was assisting, I worked on similar Neve consoles only back then they were new. And now they are vintage. I guess I must also be vintage.
Here are a few photos of Studio A:
Eastwest Studios
Apr.19.2009
An impressive renovation of this landmark recording studio. Located in Hollywood, the Eastwest Studios have worked with artists ranging from Frank Sinatra to The Rolling Stones. The live recording rooms were built by legendary engineer Bill Putnam in 1961. The front desk is a very cool design. I hope those were not vintage instruments. More photos of the renovation here.
Chalice Studios
Apr.08.2009
Chalice Studios in Los Angeles houses two SSL 9000 J Series consoles in Studios A and B. I really like the look of the live room in the last photo. Very relaxing atmosphere.
Sound City Studios
Mar.10.2009
Sound City Studios recently celebrated its 40th anniversary. Which, in the recording business, is something of a miracle. Their website is similar to the general vibe of the facility — just a bit off the mainstream. But still pretty cool.
There is a lot of history in that studio. And a belief in the magic sound of the iconic Neve consoles in the two rooms. Studio A features a Neve 8028 (pictured below) and Studio B an 8078.
As far as I know, the studio is still all-analog. No Pro Tools in the house. Unless you bring one in under rental.
I have collected pictures of some of the most stunning recording studios in the world and you can travel through the set by clicking
