The ultimate workhorse.

With its lush red fabric walls and cherry wood floors, Studio B has that same Beatles vibe as Studio A and offers a comfortable, relaxing place for light tracking, overdubs, mixing, and editing. The space has a 48-channel API Legacy console, a live room, and a small but very adjustable live chamber. There’s a great lineup of outboard gear and, of course, access to the renowned microphone collection.

  • Notable: 48-channel API Legacy console
  • Tasks: Light tracking, overdubs, mixing and editing
  • Clients: The Dixie Chicks (The Chicks), Cheap Trick, Yelawolf, Mickey Guyton, Mitchell Tenpenny
