Our Studio A control room is one of the largest in Southern California. It was designed by Carl Yanchar of Wave Space. Producers, engineers, and artists may take advantage of the convenient work and lounge areas within the control room to make phone calls, get on the web, or rest.

Studio A Live Room

Things are livening up at Signature with the recently finished demolition and remodel of the live room in Studio A.

This Quicktime movie includes a 44.1k 16-bit stereo sound file of a basic drum kit recorded with 4 mics: Kick, Snare and two room mics. EQ and a bit of compression are all that were added when recording this sample. We recommend playing this file through quality speakers to experience the ambience of the new room.

This movie requires the Quicktime Player. Download for free at www.quicktime.com

The photos below show views of the new live room from different perspectives during the recording of the sample file.
