In the heart of the studio lies a vintage Neve 8028 console. The last all Class A console Neve ever built. Along side the Neve is Pro Tools HD3 Accel, a Studer 827 24 track analog tape machine, and a vintage Ampex ATR 102 2 Track 1/2 inch recorder. We also have a standard compliment of microphones (Neuman, AKG, Shure, Sennheiser, etc) and outboard equipment (Fairchild 670, 1176s, LA-2A, 2254s, Red 3, Distressors, EMT tube plate, etc) to make all kinds of great recordings.
Grandmaster is based around THREE tracking rooms, all with their own personality and style. First there is the wood room. Built with black walnut, the wood room is dry and punchy. Perfect for all instruments, but vocal and guitars excel in this room. Next is the cement room. This is a more reflective room where drums are tracked 90 percent of the time. Also housed in this room is our Yamaha Custom Grand Piano. This piano was built for the legendary Billy Preston in the 1970s and has been featured on hundreds of recordings over the years. Last but not least, there is the Warehouse with Stage. This giant space doubles as our private parking, but is often used for tracking. If you have heard the drums on Foo Fighters "My Hero," you have heard the warehouse space.
Above and beyond all this great gear and rooms, Grandmaster Recorders provides privacy for its clients. Since there is just the one studio, when you are here, it's all yours. There is private lounge on the top floor with satellite TV, DVD, and even your choice of themed bathrooms! Although the studio is very private, the moment you step outside, you are just feet away from Amoeba Records, Arclight Theaters, and all the bars/clubs/resturants in the ever growing Cahuenga Blvd./Hollywood scene.
