We are pleased to announce the launch of our new Recording Studio here at
THE LOCAL 269!!!
What we are offering is a very high quality, inexpensive way of capturing your live set
for live release, video, archive.
The heart of the studio is a MCI JH 600 series console.
Tons of hit records were cut on this console; Eric Clapton's 461 Ocean Boulevard, AC/DC's "Back in Black" and the Bee Gees Saturday Night Fever just to name a few.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_Center_Incorporated#JH-600_Series_Console.
Our console is the perfect front end for digital recording.
The mic-amps/pre-amps and EQs sound warm and fat.
A lot of digital recordings sound thin and sterile and bands/engineers/producers
spend a lot of time trying to mix that analog wamth and air back in.
Today most great sounding records are still cut on vintage consoles and vintage pre-amps.
When you record your show here you are recording with that same analog fatness and air.
If you want to go totally analog we have a Otari 2 inch 24 track tape machine.
We can source new tape or acceptable used tape.
email us if you want to record to the 2 inch machine.
The studio is completely wired to the live stage via discreet passive/transformer mic splitters.
