 This is the tracking room at MJB Recording
Room Dimensions: 22 X 18 This room is acoustically treated for sound absorption and to reduce standing waves and room nodes. With the ABS type bass traps and room bass traps built in to the corners of the room.The drum set is a Ludwig maple set with 7 Ply wood shells. The bearing edges were recut to give proper resonance and sustain of the drum notes. We like 'em and they sound great. Please bring your own pedals and cymbals so you can get the feel you need.

 This is a view of the Control Room.
This is where we mix and master and tweak and laugh and cry and make the music happen.

The main monitors are Electro Voice MS-802's, they have a lot more bass response and are generally warmer than Yamaha NS-10's. In this room they are are an excellent match. The black ones are Yamaha NS-8's once again a little warmer than they're NS-10 cousins and are three way speaker enclosures. On top of the EV's you'll find some little cube type automotive speakers these are really good to check your mixes on as they simulate car speakers and boom boxes. In the back you'll also find some IBM computer speakers - with the computer age if you have a mix that's too bassy you'll find that your computer listeners will complain. Check, check and re-check your mixes!

The main board is a Carvin MX1688 and we have yet to find a board on the market that we want to replace it with. Okay so some will say - "You can't record on that, it uses OP amps, you can't get that "Neve" sound . Alrighty then, well Mr. Golden ears, tell me, what do you think is in your CD player and your stereo in your car and in your amplifier at home?! This Carvin has some of the finest 5532 OP Amps available (we know, we service it) with a high slew rate and low distortion factor. Oh, and just a tip for the so called "Gear Heads" Op amps are based on dicrete component transistor circuit designs and feature a differential amplifier input stage for noise cancellation and are compact without the heat generation. You could cook a ham on some of the other consoles!
