Monitoring during recording is by either Sennheiser HD25-1 MkII or Beyer DT770 Pro headphones via a mixer and Lake People G93 headphone amp. Playback at the recording session may also use Sennheiser HD 650 headphones and/or KRK Rokit monitors.

All mixing and editing is performed on a PC digital audio workstation (DAW) at base using Audition 3, Reason 3 and Melodyne Studio 3 software. And to ensure your recording will sound great where ever it's played, monitoring is performed in an acoustically treated room on Alesis M1 Active Mk2 monitors and the Sennheiser HD 650 headphones.

Portable acoustic absorber screens may be used to either isolate instruments or for improving the rooms acoustics. A talkback system with video monitoring allows separation between the recording station and the performance.

There is of course other gear used including a boom, but no need to detail all that!
