Surround Suite
A lovely 5.1 mixing suite filled with delightful outboard gear, a big fat computer loaded for battle, a sweet tracking room with a vintage 1919 Baldwin upright and other great overdub fodder. Mix that soundtrack or that recording in a well tuned, well appointed suite!
THE GEAR
The space is powered by a beefed up Mac Pro tower loaded with RAM, SSDs, and plugins for days. Sound and monitoring via Apollo x8 Interface, and a Grace M-906 with Barefoot Footprint 01.
OUTBOARD
Digital is groovy, but we still need our analog stuff too. Both have advantages. This room's permanently allocated gear includes:
2 BAE Neve 1073 with EQ
Cartec Pre-Q5
Avedis MD7
2 Grace M501s
Quad 8 Preamp
2 Hairball Audio Blue Stripe 1176
2 Empirical Labs Distressors
UAD Plugin Card with Full License
Waves Mercury
Soundtoys
Izotope RX4 and Ozone 6-8
THE TOYS
Each recording studio has a set inventory, but remember, we have tons of gear in our rental department. But there is a lot that you can do with the gear allocated to the room. Here are some special pieces that reside in this studio:
Whisper Room - The whisper room is a double walled, 3.5ft by 4ft isolation booth that will ensure total isolation within the studio allowing multiple instruments to be tracked together in our overdub room as well as a great vocal booth silent enough for ADR!
1919 Baldwin Upright Piano - been in Bedrock owner Cosmo Jones' family since it was new, it has a very cool sound!
Fender Tonemaster - This is from the custom shop and is one of 3 made for Joe Perry of Aerosmith by the Fender custom group in Arizona. Ironically, it's plugged into a cabinet made by Gabriel Currie of Echopark Guitars who happens to build guitars for Joe! For a big amp sound, this is the ticket.
Supro Thunderbolt - A beautiful new hand wired Class A combo which can switch between 20 and 40W. We like 20W. Great tone, warm spring reverb, yummy.
Akai Miniak
Dave Smith Prophet '08 - An awesome modern Prophet interpretation from a reliable and respected purveyor.
