Longview Studios: Studio B

Turning Dreams Into Reality

The smaller of our studios, Studio B is our main pre production and vocal suite.

The control room houses our custom built dual processor computer system running Cubase & Pro Tools 8. This system carries the very latest in virtual instrument technology and uses a wide range of real sampled sounds rather than pcm synthesis. Studio B is the ideal setting for songwriters to bring their ideas to life. Our resident engineer doubles as our programmer and also plays several instruments, so you don't need to be a 'player' in order to get your song finished. Solo performers, Singers & Hi tech duos/trios find this room particularly easy to work in..... and very affordable! This Studio is also used for our day gift packages and has a seating/viewing area in the control room so there is no need to come alone.

Studio B also boasts a 50 Square Feet iso booth where we record vocals and voice overs, though this 'booth' is large enough to accommodate a small drum kit, guitar and bass rigs or up to 3 vocalists.

We don't mean to be unkind but ....

With so many home recording enthusiasts now having access to digital audio software, there has been a huge rise in the number of 'so called' mastering services offered. The bulk of these are, in fact, pre mastering services and most offer little more than increasing the perceived volume of your work.
