Recording-Our equipment for tracking is some of the most sought after in the recording industry. There is absolutely no beating our Vintage Neve console for tracking. At our studio you will find classic mic pre-amps, microphones for every situation and some extremely rare instruments. You are sure to create something that sounds absolutely unique for your project. We’ve got a wide range of rare keyboards, guitars, amplifiers, and pedals to create the tone that is needed. We have multiple drum kits available, and they can be reserved for your session. From drum tracking to the final overdub for a record, Virtue and Vice Studios has everything you could need.
Mixing-At Virtue and Vice we specialize in mixing. The heart of our sound comes from our 24 channel Vintage Neve console loaded with 1084 modules and 2 2254 compressors. Give everyone of your tracks the classic Neve sound and print to analog tape. With a blend of great plug-ins and outboard gear we are able to achieve more than a blend of tracks, but rather an exciting mix that captures the listener immediately.
Stem Mixing/Remote Mixing-If you are mixing your tracks at home and are looking to improve the over all sound on a budget then send us your stems(Stereo sets of drums, bass, guitars, strings, vocals, ect). We can run your stems through the Neve console and print to analog tape with our Studer tape machine. At a fraction of the cost of mixing and you will hear an improvement right away. Better yet, you don’t have to live in New York to take advantage of this service. **This is stem mixing only this is not for mixing tracks that have not been mixed before.**
