Studio A

My home base for medium- and large-scale tracking is Reservoir’s exquisite Studio A, which houses a lovingly restored 32-input Neve 8068 and a fabulous vintage microphone collection.

A storied history

Studio A boasts a rich artistic pedigree, with clients ranging from David Bowie to Miles Davis, and dozens of Gold, Platinum, and Grammy-winning albums to its credit

If you build it

The generous live room can accommodate more than a dozen players, and can be complemented by up to six iso booths for ultimate tracking flexibility

Keys to the city

Reservoir is home to a breathtaking bevy of vintage keyboards, including a Hammond B3, Wurlitzer and Rhodes eletric pianos, and a splendid Yamaha C7 grand
