Our Mics

Awesome Microphones

   A lot of smaller or more affordable recording studios tend to use cheaper microphones that substitute for the more standard options. We believe in stocking up on an ever growing, good range of high quality mics from Neumann, Chandler Limited, AKG, Royer, and others that have been used on countless gold and platinum records over the years including a Vintage 1950's Neumann M7 Lollipop Mic (same capsule as in an original U47). Our microphones are the real deal and not replicas or substitutes by other lower quality brands. 

House Instruments

1961 Hammond Organ L-100 
with Leslie Rotary

Fully restored and modded for both lower and higher foldback and key click. Same B3 / C3 tone-wheels

Chickering 6'4" Grand Piano

115 years old! One of the finest pianos made at the turn of the century rivaling Steinway in their quality and sound. Fully restored in 1988. 

Ludwig Custom

Full kit with cymbals - TBD


Services & Rates


What We Offer

  From song demos, to full album recording and mixing, we try to offer everything you might need to make your musical journey fulfilling. This private whole-house studio offers a different experience than that of regular commercial studio spaces.

  Each room has a different feel and sound quality, from small rooms, to large rooms with great natural reverb. Spread across 2,000 Square feet, offering hallways, closets, staircases, and other interesting spaces you can record in for a unique sound. Mobile Gobos to shape the room sounds from very live reverb, to controlled and tight. We have a "dead" room that can fit a full size drum kit for super dry and tight sound if needed. 

  Tie-lines can join all the rooms together to record with isolation. There's enough room to have a small orchestra to track live across the 3 large rooms + the dead room for a super session for film score or classical music if needed. The control room and main 3 rooms are all equipped with closed circuit video allowing for real-time visuals to the control room or other rooms. Along with the talk-back system allows you to feel connected to everyone. 

   We encourage you to book a free 15 minute tour of the studio if you're interested in using our place. See what the rooms are like and meet our in-house engineer / producer. We are located in Ohio, 1 hour drive west of Pittsburgh PA.
