Located In Pawling, New York 1 hour and 15 minutes from NYC, Pawling is easy to reach by car or also by Metro North Train from Grand Central Station. We have updated the studio with a 32 channel Soundcraft Ghost Board and have both 2 inch analog tape and ProTools. Our Tape machine, (formerly owned by The Grateful Dead), has been custom made by the audio guru John Stephens. Stephens' machines were used to record many great records including Pink Floyd's Dark Side of The Moon. Other features of the studio include;a Hammond B3, Fender Rhodes and other cool analog keyboards as well as a nice collection of Vintage and new Neumann Mics. Our vibe is to create a relaxed enviroment in the country to work. No stress here, just freedom to make some cool tunes in a retro-analog way. check it out.
