Maple Floor Live Room

The 24 x 29 main live room sounds amazing. With Maple floors and carefully placed diffusion, this room produces excellent drum sounds and all acoustic instruments  seem to come to life.  It is truly inspirational.

Cellos, violins, congas, acoustic guitars and piano sound so natural in this well designed room that it makes playing very enjoyable.


Our adjacent 12 x 16 overdub room is dry and tight sounding for guitar amps, background vocals, or anything else that needs a dry cramped tight sound. Very cool for Indie drum sounds!

Main Control Room / Mixing Suite

The 14 x 22 Control Room has been carefully tuned and has an outstanding sound stage for mixing and tracking. The Control Room had been the Master Bedroom in this huge house, (still  a bed in there!) and we got lucky that it was the right dimensions and sounded so good.


There is an amazing collection of top quality analog outboard gear and the latest in high tech software and plug-ins to craft the sound you want.
