The live tracking room is spacious, fully air conditioned and features natural as well as creative lighting. The room is fully wired for all recording needs and provides full monitoring facilities and video communication with the control room.
We use this room for selected rehearsals and, it is equipped with a full P.A. system. We also have three isolation rooms with the largest room doubling as a voice over booth. These extra spaces mean we can track full bands with virtually no mic spill.
The control room is spacious and relaxed and features natural light and air conditioning. It is fully wired through an extensive patch bay which means we can easily accommodate all possible recording configurations.
