Engineer included, always. Every rate on this page comes with someone at the desk who has made records in this room and wants yours to be the next one.
One hallway between them, a window you can see the drummer through, and a kettle that is never off. Both rooms come with every booking. Nobody rents you half a studio.
Big enough for a five-piece playing at once, dead enough in the corners to keep the drums out of the vocal mic. The 1962 Ostrander 7-foot-4 grand lives here and is regulated every quarter. Both iso booths have sightlines to the drum riser and to each other, so the band can still argue with their eyes.
Built around a 32-channel Halvorsen inline desk from 1989, recapped in 2023 and worth every hour it took. Mains are in the soffits, nearfields on the bridge, and there is a couch behind the engineer where you hear exactly what they hear. Mix here, or bring your own session and borrow the best pair of ears in town.
Every rate includes an engineer, both rooms, the whole mic locker and the piano. No rental line items, no surprise on the invoice. Hourly has a four-hour minimum. Overtime is the hourly rate in half-hour blocks, and we ask before we run past.
Twenty-two years at the desk. Still tracks drums with four mics first and adds the rest only if you ask.
Tunes the grand herself. Hears you go flat about a bar before you do, and waits until the take is done to mention it.
Fifteen minutes on the phone about the project: what you are making, how many people, how finished the songs are. We tell you honestly how many days it needs, even when the answer is fewer.
Pick the dates, send half as a deposit, get a confirmation with load-in times and a packing list. That is it. No portal, no login, no app to install.
Sleep. Eat breakfast. Bring the songs you rehearsed, not the ones you are still writing. The room will be set, the kit tuned, and the kettle on.
The short list we send with every confirmation. Every item on it has cost somebody an hour.
We tracked the whole record live in two days and it still sounds like us. Only better.
The Low Tide Sisters
Marcus told us the bridge was too long. He was right. He usually is.
Copperhead Union
The first studio where I could hear my own piano properly. I have been back four times.
Dane Alder
Sessions run from 10am until late, seven days. If we are tracking when you call, leave a message; we ring back between takes. Email gets an answer the same day with open dates.
Two spots in the lot with your band name on a cone. Furnace Lane is free on the street after 6pm and all day Sunday.
The wide green door at the side. Ramp, no steps, 8 ft of clearance, straight into Room A.
A dolly and a hand truck live just inside. Load-in opens thirty minutes before your session, no charge.
