Five decades of professional production — albums, audiobooks, campaigns, and shows made in this room.
One take. No overdubs.
A live session series recorded at SoundTrax in Raleigh. Three or four songs, played straight through, filmed as they happen.
New sessions will be added as they're recorded. If your band can hold a live take, get in touch.
The craftsmanship of a legendary recording house, with the range today's creators, brands, and productions actually need.
Production and VO 101 workshops — for working creators and the next generation, taught where the records get made.
A stone’s throw from Five Points in Raleigh’s historic Brooklyn District, SoundTrax pairs a vintage-modern aesthetic — warm woods, analog gear, tape reels, practical light — with the rare calm of a room built purely to sound good.
Our 500-square-foot live room floats on a 3-inch concrete slab, its 2-inch walls and ceilings mounted on Mason Industries isolation systems for uncompromising soundproofing. Combine that with a no-compromise approach to acoustic treatment and you have one of the best-sounding rooms in the Southeast — and a remarkable isolation chamber.
An extensive microphone collection — the best of Neumann, Sennheiser, AKG and more — feeds a Pro Tools Ultimate rig and a hand-picked chain of preamps, EQs, and compressors. Our primary edit suite is built to the same acoustic standard as the live room, for editing and mixing, including 5.1 mix-to-picture.
↳ Vintage synths available on request: Juno-60, Prophet-5 Rev3, Moog Grandmother, ASM Hydrasynth, Korg MS-20, Moog Taurus & Sequential Drumtraks.
Because gear doesn't make records — people do. A small staff who know this room better than anyone, and a deep bench of engineers, voice actors, narrators, and session players we bring in by name when a session calls for them.
