Our expertise will help bring your project to its full potential.
We started with a single mission Help bring beautiful music into this world.
Growing up, music was always the focus. Today we continue that by helping our clients fulfill their musical visions.
Our Story
With over 25 years in the music and television industries working with some of the biggest names in the business we built out our residence based recording studio with the goal of sharing that knowledge and experience with others in an affordable and approachable manner. We are located in Shrub Oak, NY only 1 hour north of Manhattan right off the Taconic State Parkway. Our facility is centered around a 48 fader Lawo Mc56mkii console with some of the best microphone pre-amps in existence. This is complimented by classic analog outboard gear, microphones and analog tape machines. Its the perfect blend of both old and new world workflows.
