A&D Studios

About Me

A&D Studios is a full 24 track analog, and a 104 track Digital recording studio which can handle projects from full bands and albums, to single person voiceovers and multi media type projects. We can record on either our Studer A-80 2inch 24 track analog recorder, or full Pro Tools Mix Plus system with 3 888 i/o which is ideal for hard disk recording and digital editing. Also, we have 3 Tascam DA-38s that make up a total of 24 Digital tracks. Then there are 2 Alesis 20bit ADATs that equal 16 more digital tracks, that when synced together with the DA-38s giving us a total of 40 tracks of digital tape. We also do digital editing and mastering with various other programs on both Mac and PC for hard disk recording and sequencing.
