Recording at a smaller independent studio shouldn't mean compromising on equipment. The only differences you will find between us and the multi million dollar studios are we don't have a live room that will fit an orchestra and we don't have a full sized grand piano. We do have almost everything else you would expect to find at a much larger studio, including:
Bottom line, you won't find anything budget or second rate at Electric Giraffe Studio. Every piece of gear in our collection is top shelf and time proven equipment that would be at home in even the largest big name studios. No compromise.
- Professionally engineered space with real bass traps, live and dead zones, and a well controlled acoustic response. You won't find a muddy sounding room with crummy carpet, foam on the walls, or a propped up mattress here.
- A well rounded collection of established "gold standard" iconic microphones, including ribbons, vacuum tube condensers, FET condensers, SDC's, and dynamics. If it is a well known mic used on numerous classic recordings, chances are we have it. Not a bunch of cheap import knockoffs and budget mics, but the real deal.
- Plenty of high end analog outboard gear - the same exact boxes you would expect to see in big famous studios. Yeah, we have a pile of plug ins too, but the analog gear sounds much better. Come hear it yourself.
- A quality analog console with great sounding pres (even tube pres), very musical eq, and flying faders - just like the big boys. Let your music escape "the box" and discover for yourself what you keep reading - analog just sounds better.
- Plenty of high quality instruments, including a nice collection of vintage gear. Yes, we know there are plenty of sample libraries out there and "great" virtual instruments, but once you've played the real deal, samples just don't cut it.
Bottom line, you won't find anything budget or second rate at Electric Giraffe Studio. Every piece of gear in our collection is top shelf and time proven equipment that would be at home in even the largest big name studios. No compromise.
