Pro Tools v8 HD4 accel rig in quad 2.9 gHz i7, 8GB Ram, 3 TB Storage
ProTools HD, this is currently version 8 of the software. The machine is equiped with 5 total proccessing cards which makes it possible to record large scale projects in high definition. The machine is equipped with Digidesign Massive Pack 7, URS everything bundle, all McDSP plugins, Focusrite plugins, Eventide plugins, Digidesing plugins and many more.
Tascam ATR-60/16
This is a 16 track 1 inch analog reel to reel tape recorder. This machine is sonically very similar to the one used by the Dap Kings for Amy Winehouse's record. It can be pushed hard for a really thick tape sound, or can be used to add subtle warmth to fill out a sound. By using this in the hybrid daw/tape method, it is simple to audition a 1 pass tape signal vs direct to digital, and mix and match those tracks on a multi-mic setup. This is truly the best of both worlds.
Digidesign ProControl
This is a hands on control surface to the world of Pro Tools. Digidesign ProControl provides a more efficient session and also improves mixes by giving the engineer direct tactile control..
Converters
The studio is equiped with a Lynx Aurora16 with digi LT-HD card as well as 4 SRC2496 stereo converters. These converters enable the studio to record 24 tracks simultaniously in HD with high end conversion and are the critical link in digital recording. These are very clear, with no added color.

Mics
Innertube Audio MM-2000. The Mag Mic
The MM2000 is hand made and is similar in use to a well maintaned vintage AKG C12. This is an extreemly virsitle mic and always lends a very flattering sound to the source.
Cad VX2 (2)
The CAD VX2 features one of the largest diaphragms in a condenser mic at 1.25" and has a dual tube preamp that is capable of reproducing frequencies as high as 100kHz. These mics are known for routinly putting u47 back into the mic locker. Like the MM2000, this mic was also hand made.
Milab VIP-50
An excelent microphone that was used by Bruce Sweideen over u87's (Quincy Jones, Micheal Jackson etc), this mic is truly unique. It features a square diaphragm, a solid state circuit and exceptional clarity. This has been a favorite in a MS pair for room mics, and can also be excellent for select vocals and acoustic guitars.
Groove Tubes GT44 (3)
These mics are aggressive when hit with high SPLs which makes them a great choice for drum overheads and guitars when you are looking for a forward rock sound. At lower levels they are great with many sources including acoustic guitar. The Cardioid and Omni caps are available.
Cascade Fathead II ribbon mics with Lundhal transformers (2)
A really nice pair of ribbon mics that simply sound great.
CAD M179 (5)
These mics sound amazing, are easy to position, and have very pleasing sound leakage. As a sonic upgrade from the Sennheiser 421, the CAD M179 is much more equipped to handle large drumsets.
ConwaySound also offers a large collection of “service mics”.
(These are not jacks of all trades but great mics for specific applications.)
-Sennheiser e200 Kick Drum mic - awesome on a floor tom
-AT 25 kick mic - great on kick or bass cabinet
-Audio Technica small diaphragm condensers (2) bright mics that are
great in a drum room.
-Oktava MC219 large diaphragm condensers (2)
-Marshall 2001p large diaphragm condenser
-Shure SM57’s
-Various dynamic mics from AT and Samson (6)
Monitors
-JBL LSR32's powered by a Bryston 4b-st.
-Logitech computer speakers (for reference).
