In digital audio recording we try to get the sound you are looking for using analog gear up front and digital gear to record. Unlike analog recording, digital recording doesn't generally improve, warm, or fatten your sound - the methods are different, but the goal is the same.
We use the best Microphones, Mic Preamps and D/A converters we can get to capture your sound. We connect all this stuff with Canare, Mogami, and Monster Cable, to wring every last nuance out of the signal. We can bring in Cassette, CD, DVD, DTRS (DA-88), DAT, ADAT, VHS, mini-DV, DV, and DVCAM formats. If you can't bring it on something from this list, call us up - we'll figure out a way!
We use ProTools Mix++, with Apogee converters and a 16 channel ProControl - which gives complete automation and recall on all tracks. We also have ProTools LE and ProTools free on multiple other networked machines.
Our main ProTools Mac has 512 Megs of Ram, 250 Gigs of Ultra LVD 10k drives, and over 100 of the best plug-ins there are.
In the "B" room we have ProTools LE and an array of softsynths. It make a great pre-production room or for doing MIDI or demo projects.
Our main video machine is a Dual G4, with a GB of Ram, 500 Gigs of Ultra LVD 10k and Firewire drives, dual 21" Sony monitors with a Sony DSR-1800 DVCAM deck, DV and a Gigabit connection to the network.
