About Me

D.O.I. Digital Audio, LLC is 64 track Protools appointment-only residential recording studio in northern Tampa Bay founded by owner/engineer Chaz Najjar in early 2007. Graduating from Full Sail in 2001 and subsequently over the next 5 years assisting engineers in large-format studios gave me the background and REAL WORLD experience in my craft. D.O.I. is not your run-of-the-mill "home studio", but rather a studio in a house.
Hours by appointment only.
D.O.I. uses Presonus, Focusrite, and Manley hand-built tube preamplification, Apogee A/D/A conversion and clocking, UAD DSP processing, Neumann, AKG, Shure, and Sennheiser microphones, Digidesign Protools 8.0 cs3, an Apple Mac Pro Quad 3.0 with 6GB of DDR2 RAM, Genelec and Yamaha monitoring, Empirical Labs and Dbx outboard compression, Radial DI's and re-amp boxes. For a full gear list, check out www.doidigitalaudio.com.
Professional gear that rivals results from the "big boy" studios in the world without the "$1200+ a day lockout rate!" .
I also have an HDTV, PS3 and Wii with plenty of games, and 200+ channel cable tv in the lounge, wireless 20Mb/s business class internet -- a wired internet station, and full kitchen! My clients constantly rave about how comfortable a working environment D.O.I. is. 1 Hour Minimum -- inquire within for current rate quotes --Visit us on the web at www.doidigitalaudio.com
