The vibe is cozy and relaxed. Play together, track separately.

Mixing is an artful endeavor.Our 330-square-foot control room was designed for collaboration and comfort. Beautifully balanced and outfitted with the digital and analog gear that make mixing fun, musicians can hear their work transformed into the richly textured recordings that they envision.
