Built for the mix.
Studio A is the flagship mix room, built around the 48-fader Avid D-Control ES. It's where high-end clients and industry records get finished: a full control surface under your hands driving a Pro Tools | Ultimate session, Focal monitoring with the Sub One on the low end, and a Neumann U87 Ai in the booth when a vocal needs recutting.
Hands on the faders instead of a mouse in a plugin window. The D-Control ES gives you a console's worth of tactile control over the session, in a treated room quiet enough to hear every move.
Signal path.
The 48-fader Avid D-Control ES drives Pro Tools | Ultimate through a Universal Audio Apollo Twin X. Vocals run through the Avalon VT-737SP front-end into a Neumann U87 Ai, monitored on Focal with the Sub One on the low end. We print everything.
The common ones.
Is an engineer included, or do I bring my own?
Pick With Engineer at booking and an Audio Lounge engineer is included for the full block (it's a separate price tier on the booking page). Choose Room Only if you're bringing your own engineer or self-producing.
What's the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 48 hours before your session. Inside 48 hours, we hold 50%. Inside 24 hours, full rate, the room was yours and we turned other bookings away. Reschedules inside 48 hours don't trigger the fee.
Can I rent gear that isn't listed?
STUDIO A fits 6-8 comfortably, and its standard gear list covers most workflows. If you need something specific (a specific mic, outboard, amp), email bookings@audioloungela.com at least a week out and we'll quote rental day-of.
Do you have parking?
Free on-site parking for up to four vehicles. Load-in is at the side entrance with a roll-up door, we'll meet you there at your start time.
