Sound Recorders: For sessions "on location", we will use either a 24 channel digital recorder or a separate 8 track recorder. For overdubbing and tracking in studio we use a software-hardware combination with almost unlimited track count. Most sessions are recorded in 24bit/48kHz or 24bit/96kHz formats. Recorders and converters include several newest like RME UFX, Focusrites as well as Alesis HD24XR and Lexicon.

Preamplifiers: Pre-amplifiers can transfer the sound as clean as it is or add some character. We use direct microphone-pre-amp inputs out to recorder, bypassing any other stages of amplification. This allows the cleanest, punchiest, most dynamic audio possible. The quality of pre-amp directly affects the quality of your final product. We use such great tube and solid-state pre-amps as Focusrite ISA One and TwinTrak Pro, Groove Tube SuPre, Grace Design M101, True System Precision 8, FMR Audio, AEA TRP, A Design Pacifica and GP Pre73 ZenPro Audio modded Neve clones.
