The Sidecar is perfectly designed for all your small-scale tracking needs. Our tracking room is acoustically treated to provide a balanced sound and large enough for most recording scenarios. Our diverse collection of microphones and preamps open the door to many different tones so we can make sure that your tracks sound right before hitting Pro Tools.

While The Sidecar is a consoleless recording studio, it contains all of the features of a professional analog mix room. We have a well-tuned control room, 24 channels of analog summing, and various compressors and EQs all running through our Tube Tech multi-band buss compressor. We'll bring your tracks to life and get them to the sound you've been hearing in your head.

Our chief engineer, Paul Howells, has spent countless hours listening in The Sidecar Studio and tuning it into an accurate listening room. With have a full analog signal chain, including the Dangerous D-Box, Apogee PSX-100 A/D/A Convertor, and Tube Tech SMC-2B, and high-end mastering plug-ins, including the PSP Neon HR EQ, PSP Xenon Mastering Limiter, and Isotope RX. We can assure you we have the tools and experience to finish your album professionally.

Our studio goes mobile! As an integral part of the design, we can easily disconnect from our studio and accommodate on-location multitrack recordings. Whether you have an upcoming concert, important recital, or just want to record in a different space, we are well practiced in setting up anywhere and achieving quality recordings in different spaces.

Need video? We have many connections to professional cameramen who are knowledgeable and experienced in shooting musical performances without disrupting the flow of a recording session.
