The main live room at SFS measures 20' x 23' x 12', providing ample space for recordings. Our newest addition, the isolation room, is 20' x 16' x 10', offering an ideal setting for focused tracking. Additionally, the loft above the control room can serve as another isolation area, enhancing flexibility for your recording sessions.
SFS provides digital recording with Burl interfacing and Pro Tools DAW, as well as analog "live to 2-track" options using the Otari MX5050Bii. Depending on the project, I often employ a hybrid approach, utilizing multiple consoles for engineering. During tracking and mixing sessions, I blend various console preamps, EQs, and compressors alongside outboard gear. While most mixing is typically done "in the box," I also offer the option to mix through the consoles for a more hands-on experience.
At SFS, we feature a selection of tracking and mixing consoles, including SSL, Mackie, and Bi-Amp analog models, alongside Avid digital controllers. These consoles provide the perfect blend of analog warmth and digital precision, allowing for exceptional sound shaping and control. Whether you’re mixing a full band or fine-tuning intricate details, our consoles are equipped to deliver professional results, ensuring your recordings achieve the highest quality sound.
At SFS, we utilize Burl Audio's Mothership interface for our digital recordings, ensuring exceptional sound quality and fidelity. Renowned for its state-of-the-art A/D and D/A conversion, the Mothership features proprietary transformer-based technology that delivers rich analog warmth and depth, capturing every nuance of your performance.
Loaded with versatile modules, the Mothership offers flexible I/O options, including AES/EBU and ADAT, making it perfect for any recording setup. Its seamless integration with major DAWs allows for effortless routing and monitoring.
