Uptown Recording

Uptown Recording is a five thousand plus square foot full service recording facility. We feature a hybrid of the best of analog outboard and digital onboard equipment, top of the line microphone collections and the ears to know what combination of all that to use when recording your project.
Beginning in late 2001, Uptown Recording has continued to grow immensely both technologically as well as diversifying and becoming a world-class studio. During the last year Uptown has completed two upgrades. Both Studio East and West feature the newest Pro Tools HD Software/Hardware, fully integrated control surfaces (hands on feel) with the some of the best A/D converters in the industry.
Our West Studio evolved from just a digital recording studio to full service video production, voice over, and sound design suite. This studio includes a Genelc 5.1 surround sound system, a 42" plasma screen a 27" NTSC monitor, and a 20" NTSC ADR monitor (in an ISO booth for voice over & dialogue replacement). The greatest blend of Class-A vintage and modern microphone pre amps and microphones, give us the flexibility to match the right source with the right signal path. This makes Studio West Rival the best (Digital Audio/ Video/Post Production) rooms in the city.
Our East Studio is more focused on the old school meets new school philosophy. A vintage 1976 Sony/MCI JH16 Reel to Reel 16 track 2" machine gives the fat tape sound from the pre digital era. This room features Apogee A/D & D/A Converters to insure the accurate capture of those tape tracks and/or the best reproduction of the Class-A signal path from any of our high-end outboard gear. Top this off with a super true pair of massive ADAM S3A Professional 3-way monitoring speakers, and you really are getting what you are hearing. All this for $65/hr or $650 for a 12 hr block.
