While the decor of Superfly is reminiscent of the 1970s, the technology behind the signal path is state-of-the-art.
We are a hybrid studio, marrying the analogue goodness of Cadac preamps and vintage microphones with the added capabilities of modern digital production. Using Logic Pro/Pro Tools with top of the range Apogee Symphony converters.
At the heart of the studio is a vintage 40 input Cadac J Series console, these desks are very similar in sound to early Neve and API consoles with great sounding Preamps and Eq's. Teamed up with some lovely outboard ranging from Urei. Neve, Empirical Labs, UKB Audio, Purple Audio, Tubetch, AML Audio, DBX, and Api.
The studio is setup with natural light and great visibility into the live room, making communication really easy between artists/producers and band members.
