Swamp Sound Studios is equipped with a blend of premium analog and digital gear that resemble the most legendary sounds. Using an array of classic analog preamp effects on the front end in combination with our analog consoles adds a warmth and character that hearkens back to the timeless albums of the early 2000’s and prior. That being said, we are fully capable of producing that desired “modern” sound, as well as choosing the appropriate style of sound per project. The Swamp has a living room vibe, complete with a cozy fireplace. There is also a bar/lounge area attached to the studio that doubles as a second live room.
