Studio A
Our main studio is an original Westlake design that has been tweaked over the years. With a size of 36ft by 27ft by 16ft high the tracking room is big enough to capture a large rock band, a jazz ensemble, large choir and/or even an orchestra. Within the tracking room there are two isolation booths, a small vocal booth and a larger booth that can fit a drum kit. A Solid State Logic AWS900 console is front and centre of the control room and acts both as an analog console and controller for our primary digital audio workstation – Avid Pro Tools.
