The space
A beautifully designed recording and mixing facility in Santa Barbara, CA — built for the work and the people doing it.
The control room is tuned for critical listening with a warm, accurate acoustic environment. The live booth is fully isolated for tracking vocals, instruments, voiceover, and audiobooks.
We do mixing and mastering here, track full sessions, record narration for audiobooks and podcasts, and design sound for film and media. If it involves audio at a serious level, this is where it happens.
