Digital Audio with an Analog Heart
It's the 21st Century and there's no escaping the fact that our music is going to live in a digital format. This doesn't mean we have to deprive our musical creations of the myriad analog processes that have been staples of music production over the last century. Our hybrid mixing setup will enable you to take advantage of all the tools that our Digital Audio Workstation has to offer, while keeping your mix in the analog domain with as little digital conversion as possible.
Whether you want to do a 64 analog track mixdown of something that was created entirely inside your computer, or you'd like to incorporate VSTs onto a few tracks of your otherwise analog signal chain, we will work with you to achieve the results you are looking for.

Processing
The digital brains of our workstation is an 8-core Mac Pro tower, tricked out to the max with a variety of tweaks and upgrades designed to facilitate the audio/video editing process.
Editing
Steinberg's Cubase Pro v8.5 serves as our primary editing platform. We've found it to be the most musician-friendly of the DAWs we have on-hand, and have it configured so that you'll be able to jump right into our workflow regardless of your level of studio expertise.

This legendary beast has 24 input channels seamlessly linked into the DM-4800 so that digital projects can be mixed completely in the analog domain. It also provides an additional 24 recording preamps that can be used in a multitude of creative ways.
