Control A
Control A (the Inner Sanctum) is the Bridge of this Flying Saucer. Equipped with a 48 Channel (96 input) API Vision analog console, a Meyer 5.1 monitoring environment, a pair of Studer A820 2" tape machines, and a host of outboard gear (including some with Grateful Dead pedigree), this room is ready for everything from a small tracking session to simultaneously mixing in stereo and surround. It also features tie-lines from every room in the building, including patch points directly to Leslie speaker cabinets in separate iso rooms.
Beyond its technical capabilities, the API in Control A truly has a sound of its own, unparalleled in its abilities to wrap whatever passes through it in a warm blanket of analog vibe, massive headroom and that "finished record" sound right from the get-go. This is our secret sauce.
