The studio of Treasure Music is a DAW based, digital project studio.
For recording we use Steinberg Cubase Studio (for audio, midi and softsynths).
Clicking on the tabs above you can read further information about the studio and its hardwares and processors.
The sounds and feelings of the '50s and '60s recordings are achieved through the help of the well experienced
Sound Engineers of Phoenix Studio (www.phoenixstudio.hu)
and the acoustics and analog technic in Studio B ("vintage" recordings).
Please click on the pictures if you would like to see studio B .

White 2A (vintage) Leveling Amplifier
The White 2A Leveling Amplifier was originally designed for Broadcasting, but quickly became one of the favourite
hardwares of the audio industry.
It is a very useful help for mixing vocals and accoustic bass.
Below you can see the original hardware and the plug-in is above.

Black 76 (vintage) compressor/limiter
The Black 76 Limiting Amplifier is a legendary hardware of the industry.
It is a suitable compressor for almost everything from tracking to mixing.
Above you can see the plug-in while the original hardware is below.

Fairchild 670 (vintage) compressor
The "Holy Grail" of compressors/limiters. You can see the original model on the picture below
and the digital reproduction of IK Multimedia above. Owing to Sonic Character Cloning and Dynamic
Saturation Modeling this unit treats your tracks like the original one.
Thu AUG 20, 21:46 PM © Treasure Music
Pultec EQP-1A (Vintage) equalizer
This eq is as famous as the Fairchild among the compressors.
You can give the analog warmth to your recordings with the help of this eq.
The digital model from IK Multimedia (above) recreates
the workflow of the original Pultec units (below).

T-RackS Classic Compressor
The brand new version of the well known mastering software compressor
from IK Multimedia.
You can use it as a standalone application and as a plug-in as well.
On the picture below you can see the previous Classic Compressor model.
Fri AUG 21, 08:55 AM © Treasure Music
T-RackS Opto Compressor
Made by IK Multimedia. It makes possible to use the so called "seethrough compression"
on your tracks. A quite big adventage of this kind of compression that it is free
of distortion at all, besides it makes no harm on the sonic picture.
On the picture below you can see the industry standard Tube-Tech CL1B classic opto compressor.

T-RackS Linear Phase Equalizer
An extremely useful unit from IK Multimedia. You can use this eq for
mixing, or for mastering. A "seethrough eq" for professional mastering
work. Of course you need good ears too :)
Fri AUG 21, 12:47 PM © Treasure Music

T-RackS Brickwall Limiter
The "Wall". Using this limiter you can make your tracks sound louder, though
this way you are going to make hard changes on the natural dynamic of your recordings!
Fri AUG 21, 15:04 PM © Treasure Music
T-RackS Classic Clipper
The limiter before the "Wall". This unit has a very similar effect to the
brickwall limiter, however it has a smoother effect on the sound and less destruction
on dynamics. It can add a nice analog warmth to the tracks.
