We have 40 tracks (digital) available, and 4 and 2 available analog. We mostly record and edit our tracks digitally. We record through some very nice, high end mics and tube preamps to eliminate that digital harshness alot of computer workstations have. I believe in using top of the line all profesional equipment, as I believe in the sound first. This combined with good mic placement works well. We generally record up to 16 tracks at a time, full band. With extra overdubs of vocals, effects and guitars as needed.
We record on Digidesign's Pro Tools LE 5.1 This versions sessions can transfer to other Pro Tools systems.

We have a five piece Pearl Import kit, w/Pearl cymbals (crash and hi hat) available for studio use. As far as amps go we have a Peavy 60 watt bass, and a Mesa Boogie studio 32. We also have a bunch of different pedals and effects along with the keyboards and samplers listed above. I believe strongly in using all of your own equipment for recording, as it is an important part of Your Sound. But we do have the extra equipment available to add a different flavor to your signature sound.
We have a full MIDI suite availbale for use as well. We use Master Trax Pro 6.0 for editing. This program can import and edit your files. Do you need to breath some life into your electronic music? How about some tight beats? Either way, this is the place.
