Studio Specs:


Console:
API 1608 mk1

w/ Automation Package

I could spend a lot of time talking about the specifics of our desk, but API has already done an amazing job of that. I can, however, tell you that the workflow on the desk is superb and it sounds great! We have the pleasure of having the automation package included on our desk, so you can control the DAW from the desk and automate in both the DAW or on the desk.

I really love our API, its flexible, fast and sounds great!

Philosophy:

Here at Cardinal Song we strive to give you the most flexible and creative space possible to make art. We’re not tied to one philosophy or workflow, this is an adaptable and versatile space with a roster of equally talented people at the helm. The end result should always be art forward and artist derived. That means that we will always try to capture the sounds from your head into the physical realm so that we can get them on record.
