About this space

We offer an acoustically treated recording space. The centerpiece is an isolation booth for capturing nuanced performances no matter your music genre- opera, jazz, R&B, musical theater- we've got you!. The studio's equipment includes a KAWAI 6-foot grand piano, Nord Stage Eighty-Eight, and a selection of high-quality microphones such as the Neumann U87 and AKG 414.

The environment is calm and supportive, ensuring artists can deliver their best performances. For recording vocals, producing music videos, or working on audiobooks, The Smooth Spot provides a professional setting for you.
