Green Room

When you first enter the studio, you're greeted by our sitting area. Here, we have a stereo system for reviewing your final mix, as well as hot and cold refreshments. This is the spot to relax while waiting for your turn behind the mic or a comfortable spot to sit and discuss future projects. 

 

Tracking Station

The area where the magic is captured. A plethora of outboard gear combined with our Soundtracs Topaz Project 8 console from across the pond feed 14 tracks of simultaneous recording into Logic. The chair is comfy too. 

Game of (drum) Thrones

We are known for our drum sound. Our studio features SJC Custom drums in 22"x22" Bass drum, 9"x12" rack and 11"x14" floor tom configuration. Available for your use along with this kit is a SJC 14"x8" maple/acrylic hybrid snare, a SJC 14"x6.5" acrylic snare with wood hoops, a SJC 14"x6" 6 ply maple snare with wood hoops, a SJC 14”x7” nickel over brass snare, a SJC 13”x 7” maple snare, and a SJC 10”x6” maple side snare. Also available is a 14"x6" 10 ply bubinga snare from Tama, as well as a 14” x 5.5” snare made from PVC. We also have an assortment of cymbals to choose from. These great sounding drums are available to everyone who records at Ace Tone, but you are also free to bring your own drums if you wish. 

The Rest

We have an assortment of equipment available, as well as an intimate tracking area for acoustic guitars and a 4' x 6' isolation booth. There are typically multiple guitars available for use at any given time, and amps by Orange, Fender, and Synergy. We also have an 88 key electric piano available for your use.
