Studio East

Focused on the vintage meets modern, Uptown Studio East features a 1976 Sony/MCI JH16 Reel to Reel 2" 16 track analog tape machine that produces the fat tape sound from the pre-digital era.  We also have a TOFT ATB16 that we use as a front end/bussing console for both our analog and digital recorders.  This room features ProTools HDX and the latest Avid HD series interfaces to ensure the accurate capture of those tape tracks and/or the best reproduction of the Class-A Signal path from our high-end outboard gear. Top this off with a pair of ADAM S3A Professional 3-way monitoring speakers for the most accurate listening... if your project sounds good on these then you've done good work.
