Good old tape sound – a philosophy of it’s own. To understand it, you’ve got to hear it. The warmth, depth and tape compression are second to none!
Costs due to the high quantity of tape used can go through the roof – unless, like us, you have CLASP. This tool links Pro Tools and the tape machine, so you can get the best of both digital and analog at an affordable price.
CLASP synchronizes the tape machines to the DAW. This allows you to record to tape without having to wait to for every transfer to complete, a feature only few studios have around the world. We simply love that tape sound!
Following artists use this tool as well:
Dire Straits, Sheryl Crow, Dixie Chicks, Willie Nelson, Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, Jewel, Train, The Killers, Guns N’ Roses, Keith Urban, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Neil Young, Billy Joel, Don Henley, John Mayer, Steve Perry, Toto, Kiss, Pink, Bruce Springsteen, Switchfoot, Jimmy eat world, Miley Cyrus and many more...
We offer a great solution for getting your guitars to sound authentic! Many bands don’t have the equipment or know-how to record their guitars correctly. We will gladly take over this part.
This is how it works: You send us your DI signal and we will re-amp it with our equipment to your wishes. That’s how you can get a top international sound. You can record your solos at home and we will give it that extra bit of magic.
Our know-how will help you find your own sound. We have a huge collection of amps and effects such as Matchless, Marshall, Fender, Vox, Diezel, Ampeg, etc., world-class microphones by Neumann, Royer, RCA, AEA, Coles and fitting preamps like Neve, API, Chandler, Burl, and many more! Combined with our Studer A80 tape machine you will get that sound you’re looking for. So please don`t hesitate to contact us!
This is what the band Europe heard through their headphones as the engineer started the recording process for “The Final Countdown” here at Powerplay Studios. And this is what you will get to hear – in the very same studio – on a team building day like no other.
