GEAR LIST
We are lucky enough to have developed one of the best collections of high end analogue and digital gear around.
Rather than go for multiple copies of the same piece of equipment, which to us is like painting your picture only in red, we have found that the wider the palette choice the better end result. Our set-up allows us to create a modular mixing console for each project with Pres, Compressors and EQs matched to suit the feel of each instrument. This has shown in the end results, with a string of awards associated with our studio and a range of clients in multiple styles, from bands starting out to platinum-selling albums.
It's good to know what particular gear is actually useful for, rather than just seeing a list of random model numbers and hoping it is good...here is a list of our gear that is always updating and the ones that we recommend.
