Gear questions
Which room has the Sony C800G?+
The Phantom and the Weddington. Both include the C800G in the rate. The Brick Room and the Vault run the Neumann U87. The mic comes with the room, so choosing the room is how you choose the mic.
Is the vocal chain the same in every room?+
Yes. All four rooms run a Neve 1073LB preamp into a Tube-Tech CL1B tube compressor with Pro Tools 2024. You pick a room for the vibe and the mic, not the quality.
What plugins are installed?+
The full suite in every room: Waves Mercury and SSL, FabFilter Pro, SoundToys, Antares Auto-Tune Unlimited, Plugin Alliance, Valhalla, Melodyne, VocAlign, and more.
