There’s no substitute for the vintage analog sound of a mixing console like our Trident board. It provides a unique character and warmth to recordings that no other piece of gear can provide. Keeping such a special piece of equipment sounding as timeless as it is takes a specialized technician. We brought in John Horne, who has serviced gear for audio establishments as historic as Electric Lady and as modern as Spotify, to give our mixing console the care and routine maintenance she deserves. It’s always fun to get under the hood of these signature channel strips and see the inner workings of this magic machine. John gave our board a clean bill of health and left the Trident primed and ready to keep recording beautiful sounds for many years to come!

Sydnee Paige recently took a leap into the admittedly saturated world of podcasting with a talk show dubbed Sydnee in the Sheets. The show has been met with immediate success, so much so that Sydnee decided to upgrade her production from being recorded on a phone in her bedroom, to being recorded in our very own studio in Midtown Manhattan. We’re honored to offer our services in recording her podcast, taking care of the technical side of things and making her sound crisp and clear as she shares stories and insights about ‘love, sex, dating, and navigating growing up and growing into herself’.

This week we had Actor-Director Clark Johnson in our NYC recording studio to capture narration on the upcoming Science Channel documentary miniseries ‘Underground Railroad: The Secret History’. It’s always an honor to work on projects of such important topics, sharing untold stories of a part of history as harrowing as it is inspiring. Doing it with such an excellent team is that much more humbling!

Clark was great to work with, perhaps most notably because of his sense of humor, which helps get through long days of recording (over 40 pages of script in this case) and especially when the subject material is otherwise heavy. And while Clark was working with us locally from midtown manhattan, we were fortunate enough to be working with the international production team remotely with our virtual patch-in capabilities.

Look for this one being released on Discovery Plus sometime in 2022!
