Our Recording Spaces

25th Street offers 3 primary recording spaces, acoustically isolated, and designed for easy visual communication. Our large, wood live room breathes ambient life into recordings and creates a sense of warmth and presence. This 1400 square foot room can be set up in a variety of ways to accommodate large setups including chamber orchestras for film scoring. Skylights in the ceiling flood the room with natural daylight.

Iso 1

Iso 1 is our smallest ambient space. It's extremely versatile, often used for vocals, instrument amplifiers, and acoustic instruments. Producers and engineers enjoy excellent visual communication provided by the floor to ceiling windows during critical recordings.

Iso 2

Iso 2 is a medium-sized recording space capable of holding a full drum kit, or our Steinway grand piano. The walls are covered with reflective wooden diffusion panels, which provides a natural and controlled ambience. Iso 2 is an amazing sounding room that works extremely well for any instrument.

Additional Isolation

In addition to Iso 1 and 2, there are up to 6 additional spaces which are accessible via tie lines throughout the facility. Amplifiers, Leslie speakers, or other instruments that need to be acoustically isolated can be located in the Hallway, Vestibule, Musician's Lounge, Lobby, Edit Suite, and Mezzanine.
