Digital & Analog Recording, Mixing and Mastering
Universal Audio 24 Channel Studio
Groove Studio has 24 track recording with 3 Universal Audio Apollo X8P interfaces. The X8P allows tracking, overdub, and mixing with elite-class A/D and D/A conversion, HEXA Core UAD plug-in processing, Dual-Crystal clocking, and 7.1 surround sound monitoring. Dual-Crystal clocking features dedicated crystals resulting in stunningly low jitter, measured at less than 10 picoseconds. This translates into pure, artifact-free recordings and solid stereo imaging. With 129 dB dynamic range and -119 dB THD+N, Apollo x8p’s open, natural sound rivals any dedicated high-end converter in any studio in the world.
Digitally modelled pre-amps provide all the great classic pre-amps and channel strips from Neve, API, SSL, Avalon, Manley and more. All versions of the best modelled plugins are available including Studer, Oxide & Ampex tape, delay and modulation effects to achive any desired artistic tone, equalizers, compressors, limiters, guitar & bass amplifiers as well as commercial grade mastering and microphone modelling.
Neve Portico II Master Bus Processor
The ultimate dynamics, tone, and stereo field control. Based around the high voltage, discrete and class-A signal paths made famous in the 5088 Mixer, the Portico II Master Buss Processor is a creative tool that redefines the boundaries and limitations of traditional 2-channel compression and limiting. Though originally developed for mastering applications, the MBP quickly became a favorite of mix engineers, tracking engineers, and even FOH engineers. From mixing bass-heavy EDM to a delicate master of a chamber ensemble, it has something to offer everyone – no matter the use or genre.
Neve Master Bus Transformer
For over six decades, audio transformers have been the bedrock of Mr. Rupert Neve’s audio circuit design philosophy – and Rupert Neve Designs’ bespoke transformers are an integral part of virtually every RND product. Packed with these transformers, the MBT provides an incredible array of flavorful options designed to sweeten, enhance, drive, widen, and utterly transform source material, making it the ultimate tool for musical coloration. Once you’ve inserted the MBT on your master bus, everything that follows requires only your ears, intuition and creativity.
Neve 5057 Analog Summing

Neve 535 Diode Bridge Compressor
A diode bridge is a very unique sound characteristic compared to other types of compressors. It is possible to create a cleaner sounding diode bridge than we have here, but we were after a particular flavor of harmonic content. As soon as you hear the sound, you know exactly what it is.
