North Coast Sound is 2500 square feet, most of which is used by the studio itself. We also have a kitchen area available to clients and a small shop used by Boyd Guitars. Here is the floorplan as well as a few pictures of the different areas of the studio.   There are four isolation rooms plus the main control room. The big room is over 800 square feet and can accomodate large groups. The drum room is about 200 square feet and also houses the Hammond M100 organ. There are two smaller booths on each side of the control room. The one on the left is setup primarily for vocals and has very little reverb. The one on the right is used for an extra amp closet and some stand and cable storage. The ceilings are 12-13 feet in all rooms.   The control room is 220 square feet and is symetrical within a quarter of an inch. The acoustics are controlled by two large floor-to-ceiling bass traps in the rear corners and a large diffusor centered on the rear wall. 703 glass panels are used to soften up some of the forward corners and ceiling reflections.   The main console is a 56x8 Mackie. The primary recording formats are 1 inch 16 track analog tape and 16 tracks on the ADAT XT20s. For automation and editing, we use a Sonar digital audio workstation with Aardvark Aark 24 convertors. Sonar can be synced to both the analog tape machine and the ADATs and also provides extensive MIDI capabilities. The ADATs can also be synced to the analog deck. The Aardvark convertors also provide the house Word Clock when needed. The integration of these tools allows a great deal of power and flexibility meeting the requirements of different types of projects.   Below is a layout of the studio.

So far the Dallas office is a bit more humble....)
