national Southwestern

recording

Behind the store is an simple, effective, classically-inspired rock and roll recording studio, complete with Trident console and MCI 2″ 16 track and 1/2″ 2 track tape machines, select high-quality outboard gear, a big, great sounding tracking room, and a complete Mac Pro-based DAW system featuring Burl converters, Pro Tools, Logic, and a full complement of plug-ins. Along with making as many great records as we possibly can(maybe yours), we’ll be recording and filming artists performing live in the studio (maybe you) for our 11th Street Sessions web segments.

our gear

The Studios center piece is our Trident 80b Console, with 30 mic pres and 24 buses, and recording media is either straight to our digital rig utilizing Burl B2 Mothership converts (24in,32out) or our analog MCI 2” 16 Track Tape Machine. We also have an additional Midas M32 for rehearsals or demo recording.
