We are a PC based recording facility running Avid Pro Tools 9 on a custom built Intel Core 2 Quad 2.66Ghz with 4 Gigs of Ram, lots of Hard drive space (on multiple drives, including a 10,000 rpm audio data drive), and Dual 19" LCD displays. We use a Digi 003 Rack firewire interface with the Focusrite Pro 40 24 bit 8 Channel ADAT converter allowing for 18 channels of simultaneous recording and 96 tracks of mixing.

Our spacious main room has vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors (with throw rugs), one stonework wall, and is oddly shaped, all leading to one of those happy accidents - a really good sounding recording space! And it's a very comfortable environment. Give us a call and we'll set up a time for you to come in and check it all out.
