THE CABIN STUDIO

The Cabin Studio is well suited for tracking, overdubs, and / or mixing. Housed in a separate building, The Cabin has its own driveway and entrance ensuring total privacy. It is connected to the main facility by a 300 foot covered walkway.

This studio features a Yamaha C7 Midi Grand piano and five separate recording rooms, making it ideal for tracking. Bands often record here for the extraordinary drum sound produced by the stone wall and high ceilings. The intimate control room makes The Cabin a top choice destination for many mix engineers, as well.

In addition to the many label artists who record here, numerous independent artists and bands have found a home at The Cabin. A fully stocked kitchen, a beautiful lounge, and rooms filled with windows and skylights all combine to make The Cabin another comfortable Dark Horse space to create great recordings.
