The Gear

The Equipment Behind the Sound

Great tools do not make a record on their own, but the right microphone, preamp, and monitoring make a real difference. Here is what we record, mix, and master on.

Microphones

The mic locker

The microphone is the first and most important decision in any recording. It shapes the tone before a single fader moves, so a varied mic locker means we can match the right microphone to every voice and instrument.

Consoles & Preamps

The front end

After the microphone, the preamp is where a signal gets its weight and character. Our front end blends clean, transparent conversion with analogue-style preamps and console processing that add colour where a track wants it.

Monitoring

Hearing the truth

You can only mix what you can hear. Accurate monitoring in a treated room is the foundation of decisions that translate, so our control room pairs reference-grade monitors with a proven midrange reference.

Outboard Processing

Dynamics, EQ, and colour

Outboard and analogue-style dynamics, EQ, and effects shape tone and control at the tracking and mix stage. Compression tames and glues, EQ carves space, and colour processing adds character.

DAWs & Plugins

The digital toolkit

Our digital environment centres on the industry-standard Pro Tools for tracking, editing, and mixing, with Logic Pro and Ableton Live for production and beatmaking.

Instruments & Amps

Real tone in the room

Real instruments and amplifiers bring feel and tone that samples cannot fully replace. Our live room supports drums, guitars, bass, and keys, with amps and cabinets for authentic capture and re-amping.
