The Recordings

We went all out on recording this project as authentically as possible. Working in some of New York’s best studios, we captured the sounds of a classic studio orchestra using the tools and techniques of the era. A brief list of the coveted classic gear we used includes, original Neumann/Telefunken tube U47s (3), RCA 44 ribbon mics (3), RCA DX77 ribbon mics (2), Altec and Ampex tube mixers, Pultec EQs, and a Fairchild-style compressor.
