This is the Squank Studio. Currently a 24-bit sound recording studio featuring a Tascam MX2424 Hard Disk Editor working in conjunction with Pro Tools. This provides detailed waveform editing, video sync capability, and ultimate multiplatform flexibility. At the heart of the digital matrix is a D8B digital mixing console, which brings full dynamic automation, convenient routing, plug-ins, and more to the studio. With two mid-sized, acoustically treated, sound rooms and a pair of isolation rooms for amps and more, getting sound separation is done with ease.

This studio was designed to be capable of tracking, mixing, and mastering, producing a finished product all in one facility when necessary. Squank studio is used a lot for tracking and editing function in conjunction with the Squank Entertainment label.

The studio has limited availability for commerical purposes through Squank Entertainment, and through independent recording services by James M. House. James also uses the studio for music composition and production services for video games, TV/film, and multimedia.

Please contact James for more information about the studio services using his Squank.com webpage at www.JamesMHouse.com .

 

Squank Studio

 
 

 

This is the control room of the Squank Studio. In-depth waveform editing is available both on individual tracks or when mastering entire mixes thanks to the MX2424 and Pro Tools hard disk recording mediums. Transfer is even capable between mediums taking full advantage of common file types (SDII) and the digital domain. Full Dynamic Automation and hands on mixing functions come to hand with a D8B digital console by Mackie.

 

 

The "Drum Vault" gained its name from the fact that the single entrance, made of two sets of heavy double doors, is accessed through the maintenance garage and workshop, which in a manner separates it from the rest of the studio. It is a floating room, meaning the floor sits on specially designed isolation blocks and is not connected to the walls. This allows increased isolation from outside noise and less sound absorbtion.



The main sound room pictured is where the various musicians will be during recording. It is also where most acoustic instruments and vocals are recorded. Despite the 10ft ceiling it is relatively dampened acoustically. A pleasant natural acoustic ambience.

 

The lounge is where people will hang out and socialize, have a meal or snack, etc. It doubles as a studio apartment on occasion, having a full bathroom and laundry room (not pictured).

To the left is the studio workshop. It is used for anything from repairs to custom fabrication.

The amp room is an isolation room (shown right in an old picture). With greatly deadened acoustics, there is almost no reflections with high sound absorption.
