The Studio
We've combined the expertise of two industry specialists, studio builder Chris Harmaty (Converse Rubber Tracks/Jungle City Studios) and technical consultant Brian Dorfman (Orchard Design, LLC) to make the 825 Records facility a premiere, state of the art, full service production establishment; Moreover, an upgraded, private home-base for Grammy Award winning engineer Butch Jones, producer Matty Amendola, and all of our current and future clients alike.
With significant gear upgrades in 2014, including that classic super-analogue SSL sound on every channel, as well as other modern and boutique outboard equipment, our control room driven by a true modular hybrid design is only the tip of the iceberg. Our dedicated live room is packed with Amendola's personal collection of drums, amps, mics, and guitars. An added photography/video suite with built in ceiling lighting, backdrops of all sorts, and a wide array accessories are setup at all times for visual projects of any size. Clients from out of town will be happy to know our facility also provides room and board services, including an eat-in kitchen, bathroom, and private bedroom.
