Recording Studio
Our Studio A features a vintage 1970s Neve Console
Music recording sessions in our Studio A are the backbone of our offerings at The Lab. We offer recording sessions either in full-day lockouts or by the hour, including an in-house engineer. We have three dedicated engineers who can provide specialized handling of a variety of recording projects spanning many different styles. We have the capability to record several instruments live simultaneously with ample isolation. We record everything from solo singer-songwriters to bands with several members recording live together.
We offer mixing services as well, both for artists who record with us, and for those who have pre-recorded material that they would like polished up for release in our studio. We have three dedicated engineers for this role, who can handle a variety of musical styles. We offer mixing in bulk rates for entire albums.
We work closely with several mastering engineers and refer our clients to these engineers based on the requirements of each project.
