Warm Audio WA-8000
​Based on a legendary tube microphone with an iconic design, the Warm Audio WA-8000 large-diaphragm condenser delivers a wide-open, up-front tone that imbues vocals with a radio-ready sheen.
OUTBOARD GEAR
Warm Audio WA73
The WA73 pays homage to the revered British console lineage that started it all. Throughout the audio industry, the 1073 is considered the holy grail of preamps, with a rich, sweet, and bold tonality that's ideal for making audacious statements with your music.
Warm Audio WA-2A
Like the original classic unit, the WA-2A gives you a completely discrete signal path and the same arrangement of controls. And yes, it replicates the original's coveted warm sound and forgiving nature.

Apogee Rosetta 200
All tracking is done in analog but there needs to be some kind of conversion for our audio before it enters the digital world to be mixed...and this is where the apogee comes in handy
MONITORING
Adam-A7
How your projects sound in our studio should sound the same no matter where else it is played (cars, phones, live shows, etc) and we achieve this with our monitors. Punchy bass, solid mids, and crisp highs
​
SOFTWARE
Windows 10 + Protools 12
With this operating system we have the advantage of editing and processing our audio "live", which allows us to work faster to add effects or breakdowns live as you are still recording.
Plugins
Autotune, Mcdsp, waves, ddmf, digidesign, massey...and many more
