Catherine North Studios's Info

Thanks for looking. You can get more details at www.catherinenorth.com.
Catherine North Studios has two rooms:
1) The tracking room is an open concept church space that is fantastic for live off the floor tracking captured live with or without isolation. This enables great live off the floor takes while also capturing the drums at their best and deciding what other instruments to re-track later, if any. Equipment includes vintage Neumann, Neve, API, with Pro Tools HD. We also have a MCI 500 C series console with a two inch 24 track tape machine for the pure analog experience.
2) The lower floor studio has a Protools HD and a Control 24 console. This room is for mixing, editing and post production.
