Imirage Sound Lab

About Me

Imirage is a mid-sized room originally tailored for local artists to track their material. Now it’s fully equipped for national quality tracking, mixing and mastering. The front half of the studio has a sleek and modern feel with cool lighting and design for a very comfortable environment. We're currently remodeling our live room for our 25th anniversary. See the slide show below and read the blogs.Acoustically, the control room was painstakingly built to create an optimum listening environment. The live area consists of one semi-live large room, one completely live iso room and one nearly completely dead iso room. The three room treatments give us many tracking options for a facility of our size.Technically, we have the best microphone selection in town. Neuman, RCA, AKG, Sennheizer are a few names you’ll find here. We also have many digital multi-track recording options including ProTools HD3, Alesis HD24 and Alesis ADAT. And for you analog fans, we have a great sounding Ampex 1200 with both 24 and 16 track head stacks. Full equpiment list available upon request. Or visit Tom's website to see it there.Come see for yourself. Book a tour and we’ll show you what we mean!
