College Road Recording has the technology to meet any of
your recording needs. Our main recording medium is the
Mackie HDR24/96, a 24 track, 24 bit hard disk recording
system. It has full cut/paste, drag and drop
non-linear editing capabilities and is designed to work
perfectly with our main console the Mackie D8B. We are
also equipped with 24 tracks of 20 bit ADAT so we are able
to work with any project that originated from the ADAT
format. The Mackie D8B is a fully automated console
with 4 band parametric eq, compression and gating on every
channel. In addition to the Mackie
Hard Disk system we run a PC based Digital Audio Workstation
that is equipped with mastering software with a multitude of
plug-ins. We also use the PC DAW for pitch correction,
the creation of loops, and for creating background tracks
with Sonic Foundry's ACID software. The DAW and the
Mackie system are connected through an ethernet network for
digital transfers
On the front end of the recording chain we use microphones from Neumann, AKG, Audio-Technica, Rode, CAD, and Shure. From soft intimate vocals and acoustic guitar to thundering drums and Marshall 4x12 cabinets we've got a mic for every occasion. In addition to all of the digital gear that we use we like to add warmth to recording with vacuum tube preamps, analog eq and compression from Avalon, Empirical Labs, Focusrite, & dbx.
The studio is comprised of a main room, drum room, control
room, and a vocal isolation booth. Each isolation booth,
and the drum room are treated with Auralex acoustic Foam and
bass traps to ensure unwanted frequencies don't cause a
problem. For an optimum listening environment, the
control room has hard wood floors an is treated with Auralex acoustic foam, bass
traps and diffusion panels.
The studio can accommodate most
bands, small choirs, etc. To make r
recording easier we are
able to provide 7 different headphone mixes simultaneously,
so everyone can hear what they need to hear to get their
best performance. But what really makes a great recording,
not all of the equipment, its great songs, and great
performances. The songs are your part, but we do all we can
to create an environment that is relaxed and comfortable so
you can focus on your music and enjoy the process of
recording. We also are able to provide a musician lounge
with a TV, stereo, & DVD player so when the vocalist is
doing their 30th take the band can be relaxing. The Studio is located at 2916 N. Monroe.
