O pened in 2005, Black Dirt Studio is located in the heart of New York's black dirt region about 1 and 1/2 hours northwest of the city.
A full function tracking and mixing room, the studio was created as an affordable alternative for musicians looking to get away and lay down some tracks.
The studio is comprised of a live room and a drum room tracking to a 24 track Radar V Nyquist hard disc recorder.
There is a band apartment to stay in and nothing but grass and trees to distract you from your music.
