NIGHT GARDEN STUDIOS

Hello,

I’m Steve Ferguson, owner of Night Garden Recording Studios. Night Garden studio A is designed to bring all of the

great tones and fidelity of our favorite albums from decades of great music and make available and affordable

to Cincinnati area musicians and artists. (you won’t believe the rate)

Studio A is a hybrid DAW and Analog studio with a very unique configuration. You can record and mix strictly in the box, all analog through an Allen Heath GSR24M with fader automation and 2” 24 track tape combined with a variety of classic console channels all summed with high headroom SPL Neos and SSL XDesk, classic hardware dynamics and effects, or a hybrid of both with everything synced. (Like having classic consoles from 70’s, 80’s & 90’s with their unique tones for you to use) Your sound starts with a great mic collection. The studio consists of a 700sq.ft. main room and

3 iso rooms. Complete with wooded views through large windows & the Night Garden.

Record your tracks at Night Garden and use our mics, converters, mic pre-amps, analog eq's & effects then load the tracks into your DAW at home and take all of the time you need to tweak & mix or we can complete your project at Night Garden or any combination that works for you and your project.


Call me and schedule a visit to hear and see for yourself.
