Studio Gear

When choosing a place to record, studio gear is nice, but the final results are what is most important. I believe that my work speaks volumes when it comes to quality.

I bring clients to several studios around New England to record, but if the toys are what get your attention, I have assembled an ever growing collection of professional audio recording equipment and software at my own project studio so that we may offer you the best quality recording and mixing possible.
